Report: "Paul George is GONE from OKC"

[who_better_than_me]

So what the thunder cap situation looks like with Playoff P leaving?

 

[beenz]

Russ need to go. Win while your still young.

will be 30 this year.

Logistically speaking I hope my mans has all of his stuff moved to Palmdale without him ever having to go back to that state until the Lakers play the Thunder. Those white supremacist cops can be pretty heartless in the plain states and I have a feeling they would lay him to rest

Cause LAPD is the shining beacon of social justice

 

[Easy-E]

Everybody saying he’s going to the lakers, are you guys sure the lakers would even want him?

By all extensive purposes the lakers hit a homerun in their last draft
-Lonzo ( we saw the talent already)
-Kuzma ( steal of the draft)
-Josh hart ( clearly he’s becoming a good rotational player)

Add that with a third year Ingram, why would the lakers mess up this formula? They already had a 10+ plus win increase from one year to the next.

I like how the Lakers have been developing young guys and building through the draft

But, I think Magic is thristy enough to max Paul

 

[ROFL_GUY]

pg either needs to join a great coach or be a 3rd option somewhere. dude is way too passive imo

He will be the 3rd option..

They're still way over the cap, they've got no way to improve the team. If I'm Presti I move Adams and Russ(when I can, he's not eligible to be moved till September), play Melo 40 mins per game next year and blow it up

 

[Emoryal]

All OKC fans have to look forward to is more meaningless stat padding and triple doubles from Westbrick next season.

So, an MVP?

 

[The G.O.D II]

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.

PG is a beta I doubt he cares that’s Zeus’s takes over. They’ve proven they can work. Game 1 showed that. But when you got Melo clanking shots in clutch taking away from PG, him having to cover both Melo and Russ mistakes on D, no bench, and a coach who doesn’t seem to have a system in place, this the result

The cops/sheriffs I dealt with in those states were borderline retarded

 

[KingJay]

Zo
PG
Khaway
Ingram
Noel

Kuz off the bench

Ben Simmons
PG
Kawhi
Saric/Covington/Fultz
Embiid

Remainders of Saric/Covington/Fultz + JJ + Ersan + TJ + Anderson + more off the bench

 

[Deep_Black_Conscious]

If he leaves, which he will, OKC is very screwed. WB with a done Melo and then what after Melo contract expires? That team is going to be absolutely terrible. What was OKC's gm thinking?

Kuz will never be better than PG13

No

Just putting up a bunch of numbers on an average team won't be good enough to win MVP again.

 

[Deep_Black_Conscious]

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

I think he fits better with the Rockets. All he would have to do is score with two PGs in Harden and CP3. WB is not the ideal player Melo could have played and I think Melo knew this when he tried to get traded to the Rockets at first. It's also hard to gain rhythm in OKC's system and I've noticed this because it seems like the offense has been your turn my turn for years. Melo is done. If I'm Melo, I try to play with little you have in the tank and hope for a buy out. But I highly highly doubt it. He's going to rot in OKC.
