Oklahoma City Thunder: Trade Chris Paul
The Oklahoma City Thunder entered the season hopeful that they could showcase Chris Paul for a portion of the year, and then move him before the NBA Trade Deadline in February. Although, it appears that there isn’t much of a market for Paul at the moment. It could create even more headaches for the front office as the deadline approaches.
Somehow, someway, the Thunder needs to find a new home for Paul. Even if that means cutting its losses and perhaps not getting the value they thought they’d be getting before the season for him.
Orlando Magic: Decide whether to go all-in or blow it up
After making a return to the NBA Playoffs last season, the Orlando Magic clinging to the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference at the moment. Not ideal, and not where the team wants to be 30 games into the year.
The hope was that this team would take a step forward. Though, it looks like they’ve taken a small step back. Now, the team must decide if they want to go all-in with this club or blow it up. Even though the Magic have young talent, they’ve been somewhat a disappointment all around.
