    Oladipo is a former Hoosier so it sort of makes sense?

    Man. GEORGE. It could have been beautiful, but we will persevere.

    This is actually great 'cause I'm sick and tired of hearing WB has no help narrative. I also think Thunder will still be mediocre next year and PG will bolt to the Lakers as soon as the season ends.

    I wonder if Morey offered Eric Gordon + Clint Capela. This has to be better than OKC's offer, no?

    Yes but no chance he offered Capela, and rightfully so. The low offers they got means he just really want to be in LA...

    Pacers are stupid. Didn't even get at least a 1st round pick. And Oladipo is garbage based from what I seen last year.

    Part of that was Dipo being stuck on a team with Westbrick, he drags everyone else down in order to make himself look better.

    Nah, I have a feeling George is gonna get sick of Brodie real quick, and probably tell him to stay his ass in OKC.

    Do you really think the Pacers are interested in paying Capela a near max contract after next season?

    What i know is that they're for fact willing to pay from today a near max for a 6th man like Oladipo.

    I don't think this is a good trade at all... You guys and girls last night I had a dream that George was in a Houston jersey. Also Hardon won MVP of The NBA Final (and he was also wearing a Houston jersey).

    I don't want to see Carmelo in a Houston jersey and have always felt this way...

    Why wouldn't they be? It's the new cba NBA. You want a good young player... you gotta pay.

    Plus he will be a RFA right? Having that option is a plus for a team trading for him.

    I honestly don't know what Indiana was thinking but it seems obvious either Pritchard is an idiot or the offers weren't good enough to where Houston wasn't even offering Capela or Boston wasn't offering Brown/picks and overplayed their hand.

    Real reason why PG is in OKC. Oladipo cost Westbrook some more assists with his missed 3s and Sabonis took extra rebounds away.
