I'm not mad we made the trade. Just the fact that we gave up more than OKC. Btw CP3 is on a one year contact too.
I knew the Christianpost was full of BS with all the stupid trade rumors they always have... But to put this out only an hour ago AFTER the trade to OKC went down is beyond stupid!

We gave up more to take advantage of the CBA that expired at midnight. If we don't land a big fish we still have a lot of flexibility that was created by Morey's shenanigans.
damnnnnnn just read his statement about going to Lakers being overstated he really sounded humble and I believe him that he wants to WIN... man oh man lakers, clippers or Celtics should've made a trade, lakers going to be hoping now, even if OKC is a wreck he is not former going to pick the lakers..... and rockets man we should've went all in, This guy wants to win, he young and perfect fit with harden, maybe harden can talk to him during the summer ???? “I grew up a Lakers and a Clippers fan. I idolized Kobe. There will always be a tie here, a connection here. People saying I want to come here, who doesn’t want to play for their hometown? That’s a dream come true, if you’re a kid growing up on the outskirts of L.A., to be the man in your city. But it’s definitely been overstated. For me, it’s all about winning. I want to be in a good system, a good team. I want a shot to win it. I’m not a stats guy. I’m playing this game to win and build a legacy of winning. I’ve yet to do that. I’m searching for it. If we get a killer season in Oklahoma, we make the conference finals or upset the Warriors or do something crazy, I’d be dumb to want to leave that.”
What else is he supposed to say? Total non Story. Outside of winning a ring this year. He's going going back to back to Cali.
What were you expecting him to say?? "Hey OKC, thanks for the mentions, but I'm gonna bounce anyways. Peace." Of course not. He's trying to increase his brand, gain fans, maybe win a few games in OKC, and then make a move to LA as the savior of the franchise. Nothing he said in this article should have you flipping out about how all these teams should have given up the farm for him.
what it meant was celtics or rockets had a good chance of keeping him if they traded for him... both teams would've been successful and have solid franchises
Moving on from MELO im salty about this also I remember Bev saying he knew he was going to be traded, he had heard pacers. I really thoguht P.G with harden was the best fit and they were both young, I didn't feel like harden needed a true P.G he just struggled in playoffs because he had no other guy who could handle the rock and get buckets. P.G honestly was the perfect fit, none of ouyr wings could put the ball on the floor so harden was left trying to always do everything. I now P.G and lakers were in the mix but hes saying all the right things in OKC hoe he just wants to win doesn't care about points any of that. CP3 worrries me EVEN IF HE STAYS signing him to a max 5 yr, but hey things can turn out different and hes solid for 5 more years and better than P.G 1. so who has the better season P.G or CP3 ? 2. who would be better fit with Harden ? 3. who stays with their team P.G or Cp3 ?
And for those who saying oh he just saying that because he sighs okc, this is the second time, the dude sounds committed. CP3 is good but why can't we ever get a young STAR in prime, (butler & PG) Howard, CP3, MELO Harden is young !!!! We need to be set for years
Just wait till they get the 4 seed and the media treats him and melo like bums that Westbrook had to carry
