Robert Johansson+FollowOnly 3 teammates showed up Chris Paul's Halloween partyAccording to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, Chris Paul (and his wife) threw a Halloween party early in the season as a “culture-building” move — and almost nobody came. Shelburne said “maybe three players” showed up, specifically mentioning Bradley Beal and Ivica Zubac. Shelburne also described other early attempts (inviting guys to his suite for a Rams game, workouts, etc.) getting the same cold response — like the locker room “recoiled” at how intense or hands-on CP3’s leadership style can be. It’s honestly one of the most awkward “team chemistry” stories you’ll hear: a future Hall of Famer trying to create togetherness, and the roster basically saying “nah.” Is this on the young guys for not buying in… or is CP3’s approach just too much in 2025 NBA locker rooms? #NBA #Clippers #ChrisPaul #NBARumors #TeamChemistry #NBADiscussion 40Share
Jamie Juarez+FollowGiannis “trade request” might just be leverage — and the Bucks are already “big-game hunting”The Giannis noise feels less like “I’m gone” and more like “get me help — now.” According to Jake Fischer, Milwaukee is doing everything it can to convince Giannis to stay, and one rival GM even said the Bucks have convinced him “they’re going big-game hunting.” Fischer links Milwaukee to names like Zach LaVine and Jerami Grant, with past interest in Andrew Wiggins and Dejounte Murray, and sources saying Marcus Smart appeals to them. The catch: the Bucks don’t have a clean asset chest, so any “help” probably comes with big contracts and ugly fit questions. But if Giannis’ real message is “prove you’re serious,” then these are exactly the kinds of swings Milwaukee has to explore. #Bucks #Giannis #NBATrades #NBARumors #NBA 20Share
