    So you you're telling me we gutted half our roster, gave up our best defender & a 1st round pick for CP3 and OKC gets PG for ****ing Oladipo & Sabonas?!! Morey better add another significant piece cuz I don't think getting just CP3 will move the needle from where we were last yr considering what we gave up

    This is starting to make our trade for the Memphis 2nd round pick look good.

    First Minny improving, now OKC. POR gets a full year of Nurkic. Davis and Cousins on mandate to make playoffs. DEN on upswing. Zach might leave MEM.

    MEM will get bumped from playoffs.

    I have a hard time believing that is fair market value for Paul George, even Paul George with an expiring contract.

    Two teams that have made no positive moves in the West

    @what Memphis and @swyyyguy Mavs could likely miss the playoffs

    I feel for what because his love for the Grizz is real. The other cat likes to make us think he loves the Mavs but he can't stop getting hard ons for the Rockets....pretty much like every other person in Dallas.

    Yeah, better than playing with Monta but still worse than almost any other option the Pacers had on the table...playing with Westbrook, ugh...

    Jimmy Butler & Paul George for Victor Oladipo, Domantas Sabonis, Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn, Lauri Markkanen

    That package might be good enough for one? But both?

    FOH terrible GMs...

    Great trade for OKC.

    PG13 and Westbrook is a damn good tandem and a much better team than westbrook with olapido and sabonis.

    Without the trade, the Thunders were a borderline playoff team. Without their insane and abberational clutch performance last season, they were a 500% team.

    At worst, George and Westbrook doesnt work out, leading to George leaving the next year. But even then, the resulting cap space might be better than having Oladipo and sabonis on the roster if they hadn't made the trade.

    Lastly for all the salty people saying, dismissing the trade saying Pg13 is a rental and will be gone next season, the Thunders didn't really lose much anyways. Furthermore PG13 and Westbrook might not work out, he might leave next year, but guess what... isn't that kind of similar to CP3 and the Rockets?

    CP3 unless he signs an extension with the Rockets is also a FA at the end of the year. Like Westbrook and PG13, there's a real chance Harden and CP3 doesn't work as well as expected. So unless either CP3 or PG13, there's a real possibility either or both would be on different teams next year.

    This whole offseason has made me indifferent to the Pacers for life. All this fabricated BS for weeks just to fall on your ass

    They prefered to send him to the West.

    I don't believe that's the reason. Why not take Laker's offer then?
