Report: "Paul George is GONE from OKC"

[The G.O.D II]

Honestly the worst thing they could have done was bring in Melo. I mean it was a gamble and I understood the reasoning but it backfired terribly. I didn’t think he would mesh well at all there. They would have been fine with just PG/Russ being the big two and putting Grant at the 4. That defense and athleticism would have been amazing. Instead you got a washed Melo who couldn’t make any shots with consistency, a frustrated PG, and no bench

Why do i have a feeling he ends up on miami. Sign n trade so okc doesnt feel like they lost him for nothing

 

[Drip Bayless]

OKC really just pulled a Nets
They honestly need to just tank and rebuild at this point
Trade Russ and Adams

 

[NatiboyB]

I can't sit here and talk mess about OKC because at the time I thought they ripped off the Thunder by trading Oladipo/Sabonis for PG majority of us didn't see all-star in Oladipos future....And we all knew it was a risk of it being a one year rental at least they tried something.

PG was bum status in game 6. Lakers can have him

 

[L. Deezy]

You will have to give up Zo, Ingram and possibly Kuzma to get Leonard breh

If Im San Antonio, Id make the trade and then cut Zo... he's that trash.

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Do it Mitch

i love that phrase

I agree.. nobody is gonna play with Russ willingly.. just gotta rebuild. Russ my fav player, so this no shade. Kobe went through nobody willingly wanting to play with him. Russ gonna go through it too.

 

[ALonelyDad]

[duncanthetall]

Lol @ whoever pays this nikka a crazy contract. Melo status in 3 years

 

[THE MACHINE]

Portland, Philly, Toronto all could use a SF

 

[mag357]

You know hes going back to indiana, right...

 

[NoHalfWay]

Because they are morons who chase big names.

Paul George does not move the needle. If I were a Laker fan why the hell would I want streaky ass, jumpshot happy, passive PG-13 taking away shots from Ingram? A 6’11 SF who averaged 16/5/4 at 20 years old. Kuzma, Lonzo, Ingram, Randle, Hart the Lakers got a real good core.

Ingram will be better than PG in about 2-3 years, he just needa put some weight on.

Kuzma will be a better offensive player than him in a couple years as well.

Lakers fans needs pump the brakes clamoring for PG

Playoff P/Russ would have probably been better as opposed to the "Big 3", but Westbrook has proven to be a terrible person to play with that I am not sure it matters. Pretty clear though that OKC has a big problem with those 2 going forward. No other star seems to willingly want to play with Westbrook and Melo is beyond washed who believes he is still a starter on a contender.

It might be time to just blow the whole thing up.
