    Boston drive time DJ/Legendary comedy & pro wrestling icon.

    Edit: Also the thing that gets me is this tweet that everyone is losing their s*** over....he almost immediately d***-tucks and sends out another tweet that "things like this fall apart sometimes". He doesn't know s***.

    ... if Indy gets Crowder/Bradley/Tatum/Jaylen Brown and a lotto pick for PG, Indy did fantastic.

    They would only ever give up that much if there's assurances it's not a rental though

    C Bags are not gonna make a trade. It's BS. George has stated he isnt signing an extension anywhere. Pritchard coming out and crying like a little girl proves that George has put them in no win situation. You send George to LA in a 3 or 4 team deal or you lose him for dong.

    We aren't getting him this season. There just isn't a trade that works unless Kuzma or Hart come out like gang busters and we do the deal at the deadline. Our chances of getting him before the season starts are pretty much gone.

    If I'm Pelinka, I call Indiana and say this is my final offer: Nothing.

    Its obvious this has become personal between George and the Pacers. With that in mind, I don't see George caving on not signing an extension to help out the Pacers. Especially after the comments Pritchard made.

    Yes, they announced it last night, beginning of the 2nd round I believe.

    No I won't. I'm not trading the #2 pick or Brandon Ingram both of which have the potential to be All Stars in this league for a guy who is coming in a year. If he changes his mind so be it. Still will have plenty of money to spend.

    I agree. Why help the Pacers even if it means going to Boston in a good situation? If they're going to point the blame all on me, I'm not signing s***. Good luck getting value back. If you want to take Crowder and... Jerebko? Go for it.

    i'd love to see boston trade half their team for PG only for him to bolt to LA after the season

    but as much as i hate the C Bags, they're not that dumb and they won't trade half their team for PG unless he comes out and says he'd sign an extension in boston. let's see if PG is for real about wanting to be a laker

    There is no extension signing by PG. That is blatant and transparent BS.

    PG and his agent have made it clear he doesn't want to go anywhere but LA, if he is traded anywhere else it would be a rental, and nothing has changed from there side. There have been exactly ZERO rumors of them softening there stance and in fact, we got the biggest encouraging sign we could get in that they said they don't even want to go to Cleveland. Why would he then, as a Laker fan his whole life, want to sign an extension with the green turds?

    Come on people. I know this whole thing is grading on people's nerves, but obvious BS is obvious.

    Well said. I would add if PG were to change his mind and sign an extension with the C Bags, that it speaks volumes for his mental state and I would be glad we didn't get someone who really wasn't committed to helping restore the Lakers to glory.

    All we can do at this point is wait and not let the rumors bother us. A PG trade to the Lakers is all but dead at this point, so let's enjoy watching Indy desperately beg for a trade offer now that the draft is over.

    If he realy is a Lakers fan and a true "california guy", he's not resigning with the green scum. Let's wait and see what he's realy made of...
