    Clippers aren't making anything other than a lottery draft room appearance next year. people like to keep thinking doc Rivers is a great coach well next year will be a great opportunity to prove his haters wrong when his best player can't stay on the court and 2nd his best player has zero offensive skills that do not involve alleys or putbacks

    Yeah only reason was to send him out West

    But yet there are so many packages better than Oladipo and Sabonis

    Yeah, doens't make sense, they're going to suck anyway, why should they care to send PG to the other conference, just trade him for the best package...

    I've said this before but this was more of an F you to George by Pritchard than anything else. Why give into PG and send him to a team he wants to be on when you can send him to the abyss known as RussVille for a season?

    OKC did this to get rid of Oladipo's 21mil/yr contract. Even if it is a rental, they got rid of that albatross deal that Presti made. He redeemed himself here.

    Might not but an entire season of standing around waiting for Russ to get his 10th rebound might not be all too fun...especially if you're trying to build your brand

    like I said, the trade was brimming with spite.

    PG will see what Durant saw for years...though...WB would never let you be the man. This is an absolute stunner...and seriously speaks to how the Pacers were willing to gamble on mid level stars over...draft picks from Boston. Heck of a move by OKC. I think they get to 2nd round...only to lose to the Rockets..:)

    Maybe they are maybe they aren't.

    Remember after the Paul trade every reporter with a butthole said the rockets weren't done and that we were confident in getting either Paul George or melo.

    i think people blow that out of proportion but its not like PG13 and wb aren't friends at some capacity. look at the alternative, he could be playing in indy still where he definitely doesnt want to be anymore

    Yeah, unlike some all-stars Millsap doesn't give a crap about his legacy. It's okay if Westbrook pads his stats. He, George, and Westbrook would be a nice team.

    Lmao@our fans saving face. The Thunder will be SCARY. Remember we dont have Bev out there pestering WB anymore. CP3 is a good defender but i dont think he's as effective as Bev guarding WB. The gap between us & OKC just got tighter

    Think WB's play does NOT change and George has a mediocre season. BUT what a troll job by the Pacers...forget Boston, LA..."you PG get to go to OKC"...lol
