well the thing is- he hasnt met the qualifications to get a designated player extension yet---Yeah but that decision will likely be upwards of 80M difference. I'm sure if this was determined before KD left OKC, it would have given him at least something much more to think about.
do you think Paul George makes an All NBA team this year? i think its very very questionable- and id prob lean no......now he could make it next year as well.
if the Lakers want to have any prayer at having the cap room to sing him- they cant use their 22 million in cap room this year on a long term deal. If they say sign some guy to a 20M dollar deal that was anything for more than 1 year this offseason- it would make it EXTREMELY difficult to carve out 30 million in cap room to sign George.
now if they sign a few guys on 1 year deals and preserve that room- and Paul George DOES NOT make an All NBA team any of the next 2 years, AND the Lakers show promise, AND George gives up what would still be substantial cash, they would have a shot at him.
we will get a good idea this offseason what their plan is for the future....if they sign a guy to a multi year deal with their 22 million in cap room- the chances of having any chance to sign George would be extremely remote.
