    It's a rental, so it lowered his value a ton. Especially with a guy hellbent on going to the Lakers apparently.

    I think Morey needs to push his chips to the table for Melo or Millsap now, no playing around with these other role-player caliber players.

    And the Leastern Conference becomes a bigger joke. And why would anyone want that Oladipo contract?

    We have a much better chance to re-sign CP3. Hence the greater cost.

    Indiana got nothing. Good trade for okc even if just a rental. Gave up nothing important.

    Probably keeps the thunder in the playoffs this year. They were in real danger of being a team that fell out for minny

    HOLY ****

    Unexpected

    West just gets stronger and stronger

    East lost two of their best players in Butler and PG to the West

    That West All star team next year will have some big guys left out

    If Russ can play with concentrated garbage imagine what he can do with a star. - is what they will say

    I cannot believe this.. OKC is the ultimate **** blocker.

    Even for a rental I find this unbelievable. OKC has nothing to lose. They were stuck in mediocrity with no guarantee Russ hangs around. George may be 99% gone but it gives them the opportunity to move the needle and maybe get a 3rd star in the picture. Just wild how incompetent Indiana looks.

    I guess Morey must've just offered Ryno and no Gordon.

    LOL They gonna let him wear #13?

    I think Waiters wanted to wear it but they told him no, it was off limits.

    Aggressive and worthwhile gamble for OKC.

    WB and PG will clash and this marriage will be short lived, but it's still a chance you have to take.

    Why all the good players come to the WEST??? GO EAST!

    WB AND PG13 will b e interesting combo.

    Is he going to sign long term with OKC and WB?
