On you.

Welcome to Down to Dunk.

I'm your host, Andrew Schlect.

We're part of the athletic podcast network.

Emergency pod, Alex. The Thunder have traded Chris Paul to the sons along with Abdul Nader.

Alex, are you bummed out? Because he can't be part of our young core now. I know. We lost one of our fake young guys in the trade and Abdul and Nader. Man, crazy day today. The Thunder, I just thought like the news of the day is we're just going to just dissect

a little bit more, like Dennis Schrooter to the Lakers.

That's cool.

That's cool.

No, the Thunder in back-to-back days, trade two very important pieces to their team.

And Chris Paul, maybe the most important person to the team in regards to success for next season.

In return, the Thunder get what I think is a really great haul.

I've had people in my mentions say it's not that great of a hall, but I think it's a great hall.

Number one is they get a 2022 first round pick from the Phoenix Suns that is a for sure

first round pick, which matters.

Because some of these first round picks are kind of fake picks or if they only land

in a certain range and they become two seconds.

Now, like this is a try and true first round pick that will eventually turn into a

first round pick if the sons somehow are not very good over the course of the next few

years.

They also get Ricky Rubio.
