Wow. Kinda frightening. So much for him being handed the default final shot role in crunch time. Going to have to earn it.
Going to be a very interesting summer. I still have this feeling that PG might be content to be that second fiddle Robin in OKC rather than striking out for himself and taking the reigns in Laker land. Just got reaffirmation of this today after reading his quotes after the elimination game last night at BSPN. He seems to hold Westbrook in very high estimation with a bit of awe. And he seems to have great things to say about the rest of his team. Of course, we'll find out for real this summer if this is just nice talk before a farewell or absolute honesty. I feel like he's leaning towards staying. If that's the case he wasn't the right FA for us after all.
Our very own Tania twisting the knife a little into Russ for his comment made a few months ago Video:
We can't trade this year's pick and future draft picks of ours together. I forgot what the rule is called but it's there. Now after this draft and we make our selection we can immediately trade future picks but just not consecutively with this year's.
God dang what an a**hole Russ is. Also, I still can’t ever see any image you post, what was it? All I get are the IMG tags.
I've been removing the 's' after http which I thought would have solved the problem. But anyway it was a GIF of morgan freeman clapping proudly for Tania asking such a question
I think we figured out that certain animated gif files are actually webp files, and are not supported by iphones. You'll see his images on a PC, but not an iphone. He's not a team player.
First of all... Have a disposable bag ready cause PG says the most PC s*** ever that is vomit inducing. He covers for Russ in terms of shot selection, repeatedly said "first year" implying there's more to follow in OKC and once again didn't make it seem like playing in LA was something he wasn't hell-bent on this time last year. Meanwhile things between Melo and OKC are interesting. I think he's going to take the Wade route and opt in and then ask for a buy-out!
Stay in OKC Paul. You'll mesh with Russ nicely next season, you have to since you're not the man and the go to guy. Good luck... and im being serious.
If PG has an average game last night they win. Instead he had 5 points and 6 turnovers. What is more disappointing is him passing shots up because he was scared of the moment. I did a case study on him a while back and historically he averages 1 great game, 1 bad game and 1 average game out of 3. Which is kind of ironic because he had 2 great games, 2 average games and 2 poor games this series. As our first option next year I think we are a 8th seed and first round exit. If he is part of two FAs, we are a WCF kind of team. Great game by Russ, put the team on his back and almost willed them to another comeback. The box score isn’t a great barometer, about 5 of his missed FGA were in that last two minute section. Before that he shot pretty much 50% from the floor and about 45% from 3. But honestly, you’re down 3 and the games on the line, you don’t protect your FG%, as the leader of the team you take the shots open to you. With Roberson, Mitchell/Rubio don’t go off game after game. So it’ll be interesting what happens with PG this offseason.
I swear Paul George is a p****! Come on man, where's that mamba mentality. This is why I will always love Kobe Bryant, the guy was a competitor, he would have better answers than ".... Feed the hot hand...." Blah blah blah. George just stay in OKC, we got kuzma who's going to be better than you. Stay with Billy the genius of a coach that he is and your 40+ fga teammate
PG and Mamba mentality? He can be our Pau at best. We'll still need "the man". Or we can wait and see if BI has "it"
If he stays he's officially a p**** that needs to hide behind Westbrook, but honestly I feel there's less pressure to join the Lakers. As I've said before if we keep the exact same roster we are winning close to 45 games next year. Add George and we'd get to 50 wins, and he'll get most of the credit for improving us by 15 wins. Meanwhile in OKC he'd get ridiculed if it doesn't work out AGAIN.
Dominos dominos... If PG stays in okc: -lebron ain't coming alone but I'm sure he would if we traded for kawhi -I think it takes Ingram and kuzma to get it done. And I think magic pulls the trigger. Hopefully if that's te asking price we add dung, zu and Cleveland 1st. That's pretty fair actually. -Resign randle -Lopez take lesser deal? -sign sharpshooting vet backup pg and sgs Randle comes off the bench but he's getting 35mpg and 6moy award Lonzo/vet/Caruso Hart/vet/vet kawhi/lebron/hart Lebron/randle/fry Lopez/randle/Bryant
