Maaannnn... if the Lakers don't stop entertaining Deng.

So I guess this is why you go after someone like PG when you have the chance and don't risk waiting for him to hit free agency

If Russ signs that extension and with Melo now, hard to see PG leave OKC.

Without another superstar like Russ or PG, Lebron likely won't come now.

It may all fall apart in terms of big free agency signings next summer.......unless you want Boogie, but who knows if wants to be a Laker

Oh well.....I wouldn't mind re-signing KCP and Brook and letting Zo, BI, Randle grow together.

I mind. Lopez's cap hold is $23 million for the 18-19 season and KCP is going to want similar money. We'd be capped out and have a 35 win team for the next half decade. That means we traded away Russell for nothing. We'd usher in a new area of mediocrity, sending out young players with no money to improve the roster.

I tend to think unless the Thunder get to the WCF (certainly plausible), PG seems intent to come to LA.Too much smoke at this point.

I think that they're the favors to get to the WCF and play the Warriors. PG will take heat for leaving OKC to go to a bottom feeding team like the Lakers, it'll look like he puts being LA over winning. It'll be interesting to see how things play out.

how the hell did clipper darrell get in the facilty, wtf..

 

[God]

Kcp is def not lookin to stay here.

 

[denni5themenace]

with russ getting the super max, could the thunder even afford paying PG max money?

Time to make the season thread?

I don't think so.

At minimum 2 of the 3 OKC players are leaving, PG is coming here I'm not worried. Honestly at this point I'm wondering if he's already been in Russ' ear to get him here too. Cause if Bestbrook doesn't sign by Oct 16th, I think they're all gone at the end of the season.

I’m hoping Russ, PG and Melo leave OKC to stick it to that POS owner, clay bennett for stealing the Sonics away.

Yes.

Watching Media Day, KCP sounds slow as hell.

 

[God]

Watching Media Day, KCP sounds slow as hell.

In more or less words KCP and Bogut were like "well, the Lakers were the only ones that wanted to pay." When asked how the deal came about.

Smh

 

[Lizakers]

Ya KCP is a horrible speaker, maybe he gets nervous idk

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

KCP literally took 5 seconds to think about his answer after they asked if he wanted to stay a Laker. Dude doesn’t want to be here past this season lol.

[notoriousmj23]

Hopefully this is a good and positive season and KCP (and maybe Bogut) have great seasons and they want to stay (if needed)

 

[lovehateself]

Hopefully this is a good and positive season and KCP (and maybe Bogut) have great seasons and can be flipped at the deadline

 

[notoriousmj23]

lol
whatever works
