talk about an out of no where trade happening....i see the media trying to lie now and say they thought the thunder were a player, but that's bullshyt...the thunder werent on anyone's radar to get pg....anyway, this seems like a 'fukk you move' from the pacers to pg....they were still pissed about all the double talk he gave them 'i'm gonna stay' then a week later 'i'm gone to la no matter what'....so they said fukk him and sent him to a place he wont win....in return they get a 'local' kid (at least college wise) in victor to try to get some money until they figure out what they wanna do as an organization....
as for the thunder: this just spends up their rebuilding process....pg aint gonna stay after this year, but they were able to get rid of victor's contract, which i think they cared more about...also, it's a pitch to russ that they willing to go get players, to try to get him to stay longer....
as for the players themselves: this gets pg closer to the lakers....and this is a great move for the lakers...they didnt have to give up shyt, and unless the thunder win the ring next year, he's gone to la....also, this might bite the thunder in the ass if pg talks to russ and say lets go to la together...
...while people get excited about names, this doesnt mean shyt in the big picture...the thunder are the same as they were last year: gonna be fighting for the 4-6 seed, and lucky to get to the 2nd round next year....
side note: let's all laugh at pump fake danny ainge lol...it's obvious he just a hoarder and not gonna do shyt with all those 'assets'....seriously, you trying to tell me that he couldnt put together a better offer to get butler and/or pg?...hell yea he could have, he just didnt want to....and he gonna come out with some bullsit story about how the teams were asking for too much, which is bullshyt...no way in hell they were asking bos for the moon, and then turning around and settling for peanuts....also, it's rather interesting that he wont pull the trigger for butler, cousins, or pg, but he'll go all out for hayward, who isnt as good as those other players....ok, it's not interesting, we know he doing it cause bos wants a white player they can sell as a star....cause he sure as hell aint gonna make them better than cle....
