  1. I'm playing Saric over Looney but the second bench would be amazing with CP3 and Looney leading it a lot of better pieces added

  2. Paul will be elite off the bench. But the lineup also works with Steph playing off the ball honestly.

  3. Steph Curry can come out of the bench. He is not going to care as long as they win more Games.

  4. The defense in the backcourt would be pretty bad with an old Chris Paul and Steph who’s never really been a great defender CP3 has to come off the bench I think he knows that

  5. CP3, great points guard have come off the bench in their late years! Gary Payton did it, Jason Kidd did it, Russell Westbrook did it, Tony Parker did it, I don’t know why you are so special to be so hesitant to come off the bench! You are not Magic, Oscar Robertson, Isiah Thomas! You are not going to start on any serious contender!

  6. Too many Divas in the NBA. Just because your coming off the bench doesnt mean u cant play around 30 minutes a night.

  7. Start cp3. Have Draymond be your sixth man, he can still run with Steph/Klay. Cp3 has to be in a rhythm and that’ll be hard coming off the bench. Cp3/Looney will unlock even more Looney has, it’s just a fact. Look at the history of centers cp3 made better. Not to mention making Stephs life easier and Klay who’s getting older themselves. He’s older but his passing is still as good as ever just can’t play as many minutes. That’s when Draymond comes in at the 8 mark or so and run with Steph/Klay since Draymond doesn’t need a rhythm, he can play at any time within that system with anyone on the floor.

  8. The idea that chris paul is 38 and would throw a hissy fit over coming off the bench is wild to me…but he probably will.

  9. He will be out the league or signing a minimum if he doesnt accept to come off the bench ask carmelo
