Paul George threw a wrench into all of the talk about the Big 3 all being in Purple and Gold next year. He stated outright yesterday that he wants to have a chance at an NBA Championship and he doesn't feel that playing in LA will give him that opportunity. When asked where he thought his best chance might be to win a ring he said Houston, Golden State or Boston. Is he posturing? Is he serious?

The Celtics made a serious run at him last year and fell short. This year it's money and his desire to win.

Who knows???

Yeah, no way would PG, lebron and Kawhi stand a chance to make a run at a championship.

Better stay in OKC with melo and russ- that's a winner right there!

I'm guessing he's feeling the Boston option...

He changes his mind more than he changes his boxers/briefs.

He can’t get to any of those teams by opting out of his contract

i dont buy this.

i sitll dont think LeBron goes to LA alone.

Whether that is with Paul- or they rope a third team into a Spurs deal i guess is up in the air.

but I cant see LeBron going to LA alone and i think Paul wouldve already committed to the Thunder if he was really staying there- its not like the Thunder are in flux or something- he knows them has played there, etc....


I still think the most likely scenario is Bron and George in LA and Kawhi in Philly.

Who cares? This guy gets the most attention ever for a B-list “Star”.

I think they should. The young Suns could use his veteran leadership & clutch shooting. Remember all the buzzer beaters he hit in Indy? Because I don't.

Except that George would be signing a contract with the Sixers, whereas Leonard would have an out next summer.
very true.

however, if George and LeBron dont go to LA -- you think leonard is going there on his own if say he signed with philly, is kicking ass in the East with simmons and embiid?


I mean- its just interesting how all these building blocks effect eachother--- i still dont think LeBron goes to LA alone, but i dont think hes going there alone.

However, on his own he is going, I think not. No way he is going by himself. I mean, I don't think he will. Pretty sure he won't. Go by himself, that is. I'm talking about LeBron. I think he'd only go with someone else he lined up. At least he wouldn't go alone. Not by himself. It just wouldn't seem likely.

Adding George to the lakers cast is probably a better team than what he had around him in CLe
