If I'm an OKC Fan. I'm hoping things stay the same or get worse. George will leave or get traded. Carmelo will opt out in the Summer, this will be too big of a hit for him to crumble in OKC. He will choose either Houston for the low or wherever Lebron goes.
Damnnnnnnnnnnn Carmelo for vet's minimum and coming off the bench is going to be GOLDEN for us!!! Gettttt'er done Morey!!!
[Berger] According to a league source, Thunder were under no delusions that Paul George was committing to anything beyond this season. Furthermore, the source said, the team has shown no inclination to entertain trade discussions.
I get why he gets the hype, but when you talk about getting into the playoffs Now missing last few games due to back issues. Just got an offer for him and kemba for my Oladipo and John Henson
I actually believe that, if you think about Oladipo last season, everyone was saying he was a bad contract, that's why everyone laughed at Pritchard when he traded George for Oladipo and Sabonis. But in the end, i think OKC did the trade because with one move they got George for this season, but at the same time they traded away Oladipo's contract which was considered bad, i guess they basically said "if George stays fine, if he's not going to stay well, we're going to have 25M in cap space".
I could see that yes, but you have to wonder who they can get to play with Westbrook after PG leaves him. I think if they do that, they will end up overpaying for Rodney Hood or something. They need to trade PG for assets. I don't see any of the big stars going to play with Westbrook...well...maybe Cousins...and that would be great...I hope that happens.
I agree with you, and imo not even Boogie is going there, but at the same time i really think they're not interested in a trade for George, unless he blatantly says he's not staying and/or they'll be out of the playoffs near the deadline (which is something i just can't see happening).
7th seed. I could still see them grabbing the 4 seed and having a decent showing in the playoffs. Sam Presti & Billy D need to make some moves, but I would not panic If I was OKC. That's just me. I hate the Spurs and the Lakers and GSW WAYYYYYYY more than I hate little ass OKC. I'd love to see them figure it out and beatdown GSW or SAS in the playoffs, and then we will handily beat them down.
if i'm a star or borderline all star player, i would stay far away from westbrick. the only way he gets star teammates now is if the team trades for them.
