    Paul George has been traded to the Thunder, tweets Ramona Shelburne of ESPN. The scribe adds in a second tweet that Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis could be headed to the Pacers.

    The deal has since been confirmed by TNT’s David Aldridge.

    Best thing that could happen for the Lakers. Sam Presti will Chuck him at the deadline for picks.

    I like the move. If OKC can add a 3 point shooter they can make some noise.

    Yeah but they have picks and they will get Hayward. So at the deadline he does put them in the finals.

    Why would OKC trade for him then? He won't stay there.

    Probably can count the NBA superstars on one hand that are still in the Eastern Conference.

    If Westbrook opts out after next season, could be seeing a 2018-19 Lakers preview.

    No idea. Just a dumb move. Feel they owe the fans for losing Durant, stupidly think they can get him to stay after this season. Think that he makes them good.

    The winners of the trade are the Lakers and state.

    Great news for Lakers fans. I though Boston might have gotten him and had a shot at convincing him to stay, but the Sonics won't keep him or Westbrook.

    The argument for okc is of course they gave up little to get him. They get a year to convince him to stay. Feels like just taking a wild gamble since they lost Durant and now they can pay him more than anyone else next summer.

    Of course not, so this is pointless.

    I really thought Cavs would get him with a 3rd team involved but didn't happen.

    The key point here is that while no one can beat the warriors they will have to fight thru alot of good teams to get to the finals. James wins in the end.

    Oladipo had 4 years and 82 million left on his contract. Presti continues to show why he is so good. He keeps a small market competitive every year.

    Once again your lack of knowledge is alarming.
    Meanwhile, a source told ESPN's Jeff Goodman that the Celtics offered three first-round picks -- they did not include the Brooklyn Nets' pick in 2018 or the Los Angeles Lakers/Sacramento Kings pick -- and two starters (Jae Crowderbeing one) for George on draft night but were rejected.

    I would imagine OKC doesn't have that much cap space to make anymore deals? Or acquire someone good off of free agency?

    It's all about selling tickets in sports. They could careless about championships.

    George doesn't even seem like the type to play for OKC.

    who do you think the rockets come up with? I figure they need a 4 rebounder. Move ryan anderson to the 2nd unit. The games the lost they couldn't get a rebound. I know milsap is old and wants to much money. I think dredman sp from s.a. would fit perfectly because he doesn't need to score or maybe reid from the heat
