[Slater] There’s been no discussion between Chris Paul and Steve Kerr about Paul coming off the bench. “It’ll be a conversation when camp starts. Me and Steve have talked, but that ain’t something where it’s, ‘What up, man? You starting or coming off the bench.” (0:46)

There is absolutely no (sane) way he starts
– Draymond cannot start at the 5
– Steph is not a 2 and Klay is not a 3
– Backcourt of 6’0 and 6’3 35 & 38 year olds is disgusting lmao
– We are not playing snails pace Chris Paul dribble dribble dribble basketball to begin games…
Steve’s no dummy, he got Iggy to come off the bench, that’s what CP3 is doing too
Just come off the bench. We need good vibes.
Dude this guy needs to know his role, and ….
This mofo better be happy off the bench, can’t be stressed about this fucker already
“You coaching?” answer was complicated
“Ay P they said I gotta come off the bench”
Lmao. So much for the CP3 has bought in bullshit this sub has been peddling.
Lol Lebron in his ear “you can’t come off the bench Chris.. I NEVA would..” ready to ruin this right here
If anything, I find the question the weird part here lol it’s July 9th and the trade was completed 3 days ago. What answer was she expecting at this point other than something super awkward? Lol that’s a question for Steve, if you’re going to be asking anyone this early in the summer, not the guy who just got his jersey 5 mins ago lol.
In CP3’s defense, it’s way to early for players and coaches to start talking about rotations, schemes, and lineups.
Oh so veterans are also unhappy to come off the bench this sub told me it was just Kuminga and Poole.
Here we go. Man I knew this was a bad trade.
MT’s [tweet](https://twitter.com/thompsonscribe/status/1678226162256957447?s=46&t=SBW3XJi-eEDBr6FtvDfngg) on this exchange: “A question was asked to Chris Paul presuming he was coming off the bench. His response:
“Uhhh, you coaching?”
CP3 made it clear any decisions about whether he will start is something the team will figure out later. Doesn’t sound like he expects to come off the bench.”
CP3 literally said he and Steve haven’t talked about it so “doesn’t sound like he expects to come off the bench” is hella misleading conclusion jumping that MT knew would rile the fanbase up. MT wading into the framing of a soundbite undoubtedly for drama creation territory is so disappointing.
Does bro actually think he’s getting started over Curry. Cuz if he does then that’s crazyyy….
Not the question I would be asking as it’s too early still. Coaches and the organization still need to fill out the roster, game plan and strategize. If I was a reporter I’d probably ask him, “so what’s your secret to a successful flop?” And “how are you going to help the Dubs turn around their failing flops and work the refs to their advantage?” or “Can you do it Paul? Can you”? or “Are you finally gonna win one this year man? Are you?”
Needs to become happy with being the main guy running the second unit overwise it’s got Westbrook la vibes about it. It’s early thought it’s Kerr’s job to talk him into it and become happy with it.
Poole started a ton of games due to Steph being injured. CP3 can likewise be starting PG for at least 20+ games. It shouldn’t be that hard for Kerr to get CP3 on board.
Looking forward to the official announcement on this months later instead of these armchair experts running with their takes stressing everyone out
Easy. Insta timeout and sub-in Loon.
I expect him to start some games cause the season is long.
Welp, hopefully this doesn’t turn out poorly
uh oh
i thought he was fine with coming off the bench. Just when I’m starting to feel a biiit more optimistic about the trade, this happened lol. Feel like there’s a chance that he can make our roster self-implode due to his toxicity. does anyone feel that? or is it just me who thinks that he can be very toxic if his environment doesn’t suit him.
It’s not early to ask, that should be the topic before signing. Looks like there will be drama.
I’ve had this thought the whole time since the trade that everybody just assumed he’d be okay coming off the bench. But what if he isn’t. He couldn’t even say the words back to the reporter here. And if he isn’t, is it a problem just like it was with JP
Iverson vibes xD
