    Lakers come up around the 3:45 mark



    Who else has 2 girls and likes to be a home body? Maybe that dude can talk to George and give him some insight as to what to do that's best for his family.

    Which is why it would have been nice to get him in the summer. Too bad Pritchard sucks and we overplayed our hand.

    It'll be tough to convince him to leave this situation which really fuels my desire to get LeBron here. You get LeBron with some of these youngsters and that's an opportunity worth taking a chance on.

    PG had a pretty good game, and we won. Great stuff for us.

    Sounds to me like he's still 50/50



    We get to 35+ wins and I think he comes.

    Definitely leaving that door OPEN to LA. Saying all the right things. Having to say him and Russ and Melo. Come on there's no future with Melo ... his time is past. Russ is Russ. Durant had to get out and be happy in a better system with players he more enjoyed. Going to be the same with you Paul. Especially if they go out early.

    Yeah I think if our record is within 10 games of OKC (ie 35 vs 45 wins) it would make zero sense for him to stay. Leaving aside his personal preferences and off-court business opportunities, our roster has so much more upside and flexibility, and he fits into our system like a glove. Unless he really values the "brotherhood" and enjoys being Westbrook's sidekick for another 4 years, he'd be a fool to stay.

    Let's knock the "brotherhood" out of the equation once and for all. Like come on. You spent 2 secs with the guy & he's your brother all of a sudden?

    Watch the narrative take a 180 turn after their game tomorrow against GSW. I hope they get blown out big time. Like 120-90 drubbing and see that buy or sell get blasted wide open. If the Cavs are really willing to part ways with the BKN pick for a 2 month PG13 rental in a desperate final attempt to appease LeBron and have him stay, then they may have the chance to do it. Yeah, I consider them the frontrunner for the PG trade lottery.

    Otherwise, kiss two of Larry, Julius and JC goodbye.

    Don't get me wrong. The possibility of a PG trade before the deadline isn't as volatile as a game to game basis thing. It was the moment Dre went out due to the injury that a crack was made. Four consecutive losses later against not so great teams, this game against the Warriors could be the final blow that could take that "play it out and see how PG decides in free agency" wall down and have Presti go for the emergency exit.

    Are you guys actually thinking there will be a PG13 trade in season? Thats not happening. No loss in the next 3 days would cause that type of panic.

    Hood blew up for 30 tonight. I'm watching for Presti to make a move on Hood before the deadline. People will perceive it as a Roberson replacement, but I'm thinking that its actually more as PG insurance in case he bails. Hood is a RFA and gives OKC a contingency plan.

    Btw, still think them passing on trading PG for Blake was a huge tell that they ain't sincere about keeping the "brotherhood" together all while paying 300M to do so.

    It really does. PG in the P&G. Someone needs to make him realize it’s destiny.

    It still might involve PG and LBJ in 2019. I could see PG doing a 1+1 type of deal with OKC if they go on a decent playoff run. He gives OKC one more chance and makes his long term decision in 2019.

    As for LBJ, it's the dwindling of suitors available in 2018, especially if PG stays.
