And yet the Pacers ended up with a better player in that trade.He likely won’t have a chance to play for the Lakers now. Talk about fucking over the Pacers last year, nobody wanted him because they assumed LA was a foregone conclusion.

Wow, can't believe he stayed.
Paul George has committed to sign a deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder, league sources tell ESPN.
Yeah, Oladipo ended up the most improved player in the league, but that was some great luck for the Pacers. Karma for George screwing them.And yet the Pacers ended up with a better player in that trade.
That contract is not going to age well but they obviously had to do itCP3 back to Houston.
That makes about $90 mil between CP, Harden, and...Ryan Anderson.That contract is not going to age well but they obviously had to do it
I’m still wondering how the Lakers sign LeBron and Cousins this year and Kawhi next year. I don’t see the room but I’m no expert. Even a trade for Leonard looks kind of tough if they sign the other two and the Spurs don’t want Lonzo. But I am probably missing something or maybe someone else takes Ball and Deng.The Lakers might well have told George they didn’t want him. With Kawhi coming this year or next, that leaves room for just one other max, and GM LeBron probably picked Boogie.
If they get one year of CP3 playing at 40 million dollar level, I'll be shocked. I'm putting the odds of them getting more than that at zero. He'll be playing like half a season at a time due to injury in the 2nd year of that contract, and it's going to get worse from there. Houston will be a lottery team in 2022-23. If I could figure out a way to get some of their first round picks from 2023-25, I'd be all over it.That contract is not going to age well but they obviously had to do it
I will be stunned if it's worth it for even 2 full years.That contract is not going to age well but they obviously had to do it
I can't believe it and I don't really get it.Wow, can't believe he stayed.
This puts some heavy pressure on the Lakers to trade for Kawhi after passing on George last summer assuming they could sign him this summer.
Capella is probably gone now.That makes about $90 mil between CP, Harden, and...Ryan Anderson.
Who can afford him now? The Lakers?Capella is probably gone now.
Happy with anything that boosts the non-SAC/MEM bottomfeeders in the West. Doc doesn’t do rebuilds so I’m sure the Clips will do something to scratch together a team mediocre enough to stay ahead of both.DeAndre to Mavs for same $24.1 million for 1 year he had with Clips.
Why? I would put our chances of signing him at 80%. No one will pay him crazy money and we’d match almost all reasonable offers.Capella is probably gone now.
I don't know what the hell Indiana is doing.Doug McDermott to Indiana and Joe Harris back to the Nets per Woj.
WowWow PG not signing a 1 plus 1, but a 4 year max with OKC. He’s not playing that he’s there to stay.
I forgot about Jordan to the Mavs. I don’t know why they wouldn’t have just paid Capella instead? Maybe fear of losing them both if Houston matched.Why? I would put our chances of signing him at 80%. No one will pay him crazy money and we’d match almost all reasonable offers.
We’ll be paying a huge tax regardless. The owner has committed to it.
$130M, per Bobby Marks.Holy shit what is that luxury tax like???
...I...wow.I think Windhorst said $300M.
And they’ll be vying for the four seed.$130M, per Bobby Marks.
For a team that let Harden walk over $4M...
To clarify, that was $156M + $130M in luxury taxes....I...wow.
For a team that probably won't make the conference finals. Oh kay.
My point still stands. That is bananas. They'll most likely get bounced in the first round again.To clarify, that was $156M + $130M in luxury taxes.
They'll cut that way down. Zero chance they're paying that bill.My point still stands. That is bananas. They'll most likely get bounced in the first round again.
Probably out on Smart now, too.Ariza to Suns is good for us. Very underrated player going to a competitor for the Kings
Imagine if he comes back on the QO...Probably out on Smart now, too.
Gotta think they'll try to buy out Melo now, even if it means eating $6-7M a year over the next few seasons.They'll cut that way down. Zero chance they're paying that bill.
I suggested earlier I think he ends up on the Lakers. Either for Deng+an asset or two or into LAs space with an asset or two.Gotta think they'll try to buy out Melo now, even if it means eating $6-7M a year over the next few seasons.
Yup, between that and Dallas there are a couple tankers looking to play real basketball now.Ariza to Suns is good for us. Very underrated player going to a competitor for the Kings
