hmmm |
Some have said that we might need to get CP3 to get LeBron, so maybe George knows the 2nd max player is gonna be CP3 and not him, so returning to OKC appears more likely while the Lakers get LeBron + Paul and other pieces. |
Also might be a easier choice for Magic to trade Lonzo then one of Ingram and Kuz. Not cause of talent but cause he's tired of the Lonzo baggage. Plus Cp3 is in his prime and he can help Lebron win now while Lonzo will still take time and hasn't proven to be able to shoot. Also less of a log jam at sg/sf if we get Cp3 rather then George. Idk, just trying to make sense of this |
Yeah, I could totally see why the momentum shift has changed from LA to OKC, if it’s true that the Lakers would choose CP3 over PG to get LeBron, not what fans want but it might become that way. |

I am thinking the same exact thing. But it does help us with regards to playing time for Kuz and BI. |

PG-13 would be an idiot if he didn't want to come to LA to play with bron.
Stay in OKC for what? The big 3 failed last year, in epic fashion. Does he really want to play with ball hog westbrook who isn't a proven playoff player? _________________ Dominating every day. |

If CP3 is coming, 1 would think Lonzo will be traded on draft day, especially with the Zhaire Smith rumor.

Hmmmm Wade coming to LA? We got the depth but he’s got the experience, Wade playing 20-25 mpg isn’t bad especially with Hart and BI sharing minutes at the 1 & 2. |

This is true.
The decisions have already been made and nothing is going to change that.
Here's an excerpt from The Big Lead - Space Jam 2 story last year:
"The masses will naively consume all the stories, the leaks and the drama that will be reported in real-time during the course of this next year when it had already been planned for LeBron and Paul George to join the Lakers all along... Paul George will play out the year with Russell Westbrook, then will be heading home next summer, no matter what he says about how great OKC is through the media."
We are going to hear all kinds of reports, but if you knew the truth, you won't bat an eye (like how Kobe didn't flinch when Matt Barnes faked the inbound pass at his face).
You're going to go crazy if you believe everything that is reported. You're just going to get rocked back and forth like a wave in the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
If you knew the truth, nothing would sway you.

Sure but playing with his friends and his wife being an actress might make a lot of sense |

I'm sure the Thunder are very confident. Why not be very confident? Based on the report, there's nothing from PG13's side to indicate it, so...ok.

Jesus, these types of takes are the reason why the media puts out the low effort crap that it does. We seem to eat it all up. |

Lonzo/Deng and maybe a pick if we must for Middleton is the best reasonable idea I've heard so far _________________ one dog goes that way the other dog goes the other way |

Low to who? Best defensive rookie. Elite vision, playmaking. Excellent rebounder. Does most everything better other than score compared to other rookies. Fortunately bron, pg etc all know this and if any of them come, playing with zo is likely one of the reasons. |

You forgot to add...
God awful shooter
45% free throw shooter - unheard of for a point guard.
I would be ok with trading him to get rid of the Ball family circus plus I think Lonzo is all about the extracurricular activities like rapping versus working on his spotty basketball game. |
