OKC's Westbrook ft. Paul George & Carmelo

Lol.

So all Paul George needed was some love?

Jesus Christ if this jerk stays in OKC..

 

Yeah, didn't see this coming. If he wants to compete for a title, he's better off going back to Indiana and playing with 'Dipo and Myles Turner.

 

It's almost cruel the way he's giving OKC fans false hope like this.

 

Agreed.
I think PG is gone

Rocket River

 

I've been wrong before, but I'd be very shocked if he decided to sign long term knowing that he'll be stuck on a team in the sticks that has no chance of contention at any point in the future. I think he'd rather be stuck on a non contender in a city like LA

 

I don't think he (nor do I think we) should think OKC has "no chance of contention at any point in the future."

They can absolutely be a WCF contender with a team built around Westbrook and George.

 

Staying mean cementing himself in OKC - I just don't see him doing that
he 'suffered' in Indiana . .. OKC cannot be much better

It does not seem to be about basketball but about environment

Rocket River

 

I see Westbrick being an impediment to anything coming of that, he actively makes players around him worse FAR too often. On top of that, I just don't see them overcoming the Rockets or Warriors no matter what they do.

 

Meh, players say things all the time, LMA also said he was going to stay in Portland and after 10 months he left with no esitation...with that said, i wouldn't be shocked if George stays in OKC, in the end we just don't know how/what he thinks.

 

THICC

 

No team with Westbrook as the primary offensive player will contend for a title.

 

he will look so fake after talking like that.

 

I don't think it is the team
I think it is the atmosphere
I think he didn't like indiana cause he is an L A Guy
I think the same with OKC

I cannot see him committing for 4~5 more years there
I don't know him that well but he just seems miserable and morose most of the time
in indiana . . .. .He looks like most of us going to work in the morning
We don't like it but. . . we paid to be there

Melo won't opt out .. . too much money to opt out
So . . . I think Paul would be cool doing one more year
but
I don't think that is an option either because
well . . . not to be rude or mean but injuries happen

I think his next contact he will secure 2 things 1. HIS MONEY and 2. HIS LOCATION PREFERENCE

Rocket River

 

Then LA it is

 

So we all just gonna ignore that the Thunder are winning games now?

 

yea. .. . pretty much
I think george is more about WINNING IN THE RIGHT LOCATION than Just Winning

Lakers are a lot more space to work with than OKC
OKC - 134 Mill
LA - 102 Mill

Rocket River

 

I just saw that George has a 20 mill OPTION
So if he OPTS IN . . .he gets 20 mil and be a free agent the next year
If he Opts Out . . .. then I think he goes to LA
How much of a Raise could he get in LA?

Rocket River

 

After his horrific injury, I think PG will opt out and sign long-term somewhere else. I still doubt he ops out and chooses OKC.

IMO, it would be a foolish risk for him to opt in and decide in 2019.
