Paul George forces his second trade in barely two years...

[True Lakers Fan]

close call between that and Hell freezing over...

He actually knows a lot about basketball, but his downfall is the lack of objectivity a lot of times. That results him talking like a ten year old

Russ is a punk because he is a competitor and hate losing?

Definitely fair to question Paul George today.

Equally fair to question Russ.

The real question though, is what came first.

Is the discord between PG and Russ authentic, or was it created to give PG leverage to force a trade.

Russ seems like a good guy. But he also tries to do way too much. And if I were a star player I would not want to play with a guy like that.

Yep. I think PG made an emotional decision when he chose to stay in OKC.

Like someone else said: "This is why you don't make a decision at a party meant to recruit you".

Westbrook is who he is and he's not changing. Hopefully, other players and teams are figuring that out now.

As I've always said: "I love watching Westbrook play...for someone else". No one plays harder on both of ends of the floor and he's one of the most explosive players in league history. But he just can't seem to stop himself from playing hero ball.

If once was to look from outside and in, one time may be a coincidence. But twice??? Well...

Fuck it, PC13's nuthuggers, as always will continually detract the blame to his surroundings regardless of circumstance.

Just like two years ago.

Does a Pacers fan that constantly posts about him qualify as a Paul George nuthugger?

Well for Lakers fans they got the better player and probably gave up less.

AD is younger and a superstar. Gave up 3 1st’s and young players that havent proved a ton
PG13 is a fringe star. Gave up 7. SEVEN 1st’s, a young talented PG, SGA, and a pretty nice player in Gallinari

Both werew nice moves but the Lakers got the better of the 2. Still that pairing is sick in Clipperland

I think PG will flourish with Kawhi...

Calm down. Damn you're easily triggered

Im glad you are still alive. I was worried lol

The Clippers are contenders...

7.1 earthquakes…

Hurricane started a thread that makes sense...


Clearly the apocalypse has begun.

The Clippers might not be quite as powerful as they look. Considering what Doc Rivers has achieved in the last few years, however I would bet they will be contenders.

On paper as of right now the Lakers starting line up looks better.

Lakers PPG RPG APG

PG - Rajon Rondo 9 5 8
SG KCP 11 3 1
SF Lebron James 27 8 8
PF Kyle Kuzma 18 5 2
PF Anthony Davis 26 12 4

Total 91 32 23

Clippers


PG Not determined yet This position must be maintained
SG Lou Williams 20 3 5 Will Lou get his shots to keep this up?
SF Kuwhi Leonard 26 5 3
PG Paul George 28 8 4
C Ivica Zubac 8 6 1

Total 82 21 10

Clippers are really going to need more help which was my concern if the Lakers had nailed Leonard - The $$$ for 2nd tier players needed to win titles. I am hoping of course the Clippers bench really sucks badly, but it is going to depend on what's left

This really isn't a case of PG being disgruntled and forcing himself out.

This is a case of Kawhi Leonard RECRUITING HIM, George asking out, and the Thunder giving in and doing so. If you're gonna throw your ire somewhere, it should be at Kawhi Leonard for recruiting a player UNDER CONTRACT FOR MULTIPLE YEARS with other teams.

Knowing @Shaqdaddy11, she was travelling around the country or world. As long as she had fun - I am happy for her

I am not sure but I think Paul George had already said something about wanting out - it just hadn't been well published. KL knew that and capitalized.

I have been the biggest Westbrook hater here. I was one of like 3 posters who talked about how overrated he was during his first triple double season without KD. And I caught crap about it from many on here.

That said, unfair to call him a “punk”. Never in trouble off the court. Always plays hard. Just not a very smart player.

I call Russell Westbrook the Matthew Stafford of the NBA.

Put up monster numbers but they are meaningless numbers.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

PG is sorta like Jimmy butthole. They are fringe superstars. Good 2nd or 3rd level pieces tho

When you’ve been on 4 all-NBA defensive teams and 5 all-NBA teams — you aren’t a fringe anything.

The only better two way player in the NBA is............his new teammate, Kawhi Leonard.

George and Leonard are the two most complete players in the NBA.

That reminds me of when Derek Fisher was sleeping with Matt Barnes estranged wife and called the police on Barnes for assault and battery lol

I doubt it - I don't keep up enough with all of the teams to be that good at it. I am strictly amature level

I think as of right now the Lakers may have the better team built around them, then the Clippers. Without the role players to hit big shots, you're not winning titles

I think RE makes the playoffs more regularly, but great comparison.
