Granted, if all that happened, we'd probably be close to .500 and we wouldn't be stressing over free agents signing with us. PG-13 would probably be a lock to come here to play in LA with Lonzo, Kuzma and an all-star like that Randle.
I loved the fact that he absolutely took it to Melo. Made him work so much Melo didn’t know what to do, tried to look to the officials for help. First two games Melo basically just had to score without doing much else. About time someone abused him. I hope he replicates this in the next game.
Randle took Melo's lunch money thats for sure but the refs let OKC get some revenge at the end there, holy crap.
Man, i realy, REALY want us to resign Jules. Add PG in the summer, get a backup PG and roll with it. Julius, Zo, BI, Kuz, Hart...
That would be great, but I don't see a way that George by himself decides to go from Oklahoma to LA without someone else joining him.
I think the Roberson injury changes everything. OKC have just lost 4 straight without him and they're 1.5 games away from the 8th seed. They could easily miss the playoffs or finish as a 7th/8th seed and get swept by the Rockets/Warriors. Either way if we get to 35+ wins, we are the frontrunner for George imo.
I hope you're right, but I'm losing the optimism for that outcome. If the Thunder fall all the way out of the playoffs I'd be shocked and yes that would change things. I think they'll figure it out though.
How hopeful are you in signing 2 max FA's now that Boogie's gone though? I think the window is narrower than signing 1 max FA.... actually more like nonexistant.
