Seriously?


He also said the Spurs were willing to trade Kawhi to the Knicks, and then they backed out. He just makes up stuff now.


The funniest one was when he said Durant was going to sign with the Lakers when he became a free agent and when Durant strongly denied Stephen A said this.



I wouldn't be shocked if PG13 would be willing to stay in Cleveland but Stephen A saying it makes me believe it less.

Seriously?

Technically could be true, but since Lebron and Jeanie have already reached an agreement for him to retire as a Laker and get a small ownership stake afterwards, it's essentially a moot point.

You guys really think PG would leave a team with Lebron and Kyrie that will likely make it to the finals again to join a team with Ingram and Lonzo to try to make the playoffs? I think it's a no brainer they stay in Cleveland

Except for the fact that they both said they want to play in LA.

Yea um, I know people talk but if there was any truth to that and it surfaced we would be going way beyond Magic winking on TV. Something to make the Joe Smith tampering fallout look like a slap on the wrist.

Edit: sorry if it was a joke, I'm not drax

I'd much rather wait until next offseason and get him for free but assuming there's a good chance he sticks somewhere else after getting traded...

I think a fair trade for both sides would be:

PG13 + TJ Leaf
for
Ingram + Deng

Would not like that at all. I'd rather have the lakers gamble and see if he comes regardless of destination. Ingram is going to be too nice!

Yeah right now that they're teams aren't any close to a championship. If Pg joins Cleveland they'd have a better shot at beating Gs.

He may be one of the funniest characters on any of ESPN's satire lineup, as much of a competiton as it is. Would just like to know the guy that plays him.

I'm getting tired of waiting for this PG thing to be resolved. I hope that if he goes to Cleveland, the Lakers shift their focus to actual quality free agents on multi year deals.

So PG might have the same mentality

Wizards Still Pursuing George, Celtics Remain Favorite
Quote:
June 27th 2017 at 7:08pm CST by Joshua Fischman
Despite the odds stacked against the Wizards landing Paul George in a trade, the Washington front office continues to pursue the star forward via trade, reports J. Michael of CSN Mid-Atlantic. Michael adds that the Celtics appear to be the frontrunners in the George trade sweepstakes.

I'm sure he's being sarcastic
For one thing, the Buss Trust prevents them from giving an ownership % to anyone.

Only way PG gets traded to LA is of he hires Lavar Ball as his agent.
