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.Comment -
Non story....team will still suckComment -
Best thing that could happen for the Lakers. Sam Presti will Chuck him at the deadline for picks.Comment -
Lol that's all I have for this awful moveComment -
Yeah almost a guarantee he goes to the Lakers now next year. How will he get picks for himOriginally posted by lakerboyComment -
I like the move. If OKC can add a 3 point shooter they can make some noise.Comment -
Boston. Come on broOriginally posted by thetrinityComment -
He doesn't put Boston over the top give me a fuckin breakOriginally posted by lakerboy
A snowballs chance in hell they rent him for a few months for picks anywaysComment -
Yeah but they have picks and they will get Hayward. So at the deadline he does put them in the finals.Originally posted by thetrinityComment -
Why would OKC trade for him then? He won't stay there.Comment -
Lakers will not be decent until maybe 2020Comment -
Probably can count the NBA superstars on one hand that are still in the Eastern Conference.Comment -
If Westbrook opts out after next season, could be seeing a 2018-19 Lakers preview.Originally posted by lakerboyComment -
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.Originally posted by lakerboy
The winners of the trade are the Lakers and state.Comment -
Ya this is a more likely scenario IMO.Originally posted by Mr KLCComment -
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.Comment -
Can OKC add another star?Comment -
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.Comment -
The East is a joke conference now.Originally posted by Mr KLCComment -
Does anyone actually have a chance to knock off warriors?Comment -
Of course not, so this is pointless.Originally posted by pilebuck13
I really thought Cavs would get him with a 3rd team involved but didn't happen.Comment -
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.Comment -
to their state flag, maybe....Originally posted by lakerboy
no one wants to play in that shithole stateComment -
Donovan back to the NCAA after 17-18 seasonComment -
Can we please refer to Oklahomans as dirt burglars from now on?Comment -
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.Comment -
Once again your lack of knowledge is alarming.Originally posted by thetrinity
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.Comment -
they needed rudy gay... fade the thunderComment -
I would imagine OKC doesn't have that much cap space to make anymore deals? Or acquire someone good off of free agency?Originally posted by lakerboy
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.Comment -
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 heatOriginally posted by lakerboyComment -
Not sure on rockets Chico. They aren't winning anything with Paul and dantoni thoughComment -
they also reporting redick and korver to lakersComment -
Everybody being moved around to seemingly weird fits. Cant picture George in a Thunder uni. Gonna be a weird looking season next year all across the board.Comment -
Cavs need Noah and Paul George.Comment
