PG has been trying to get to LA for a while now. The idea that he won’t take his opportunity finally is laughable. The idea that he won’t finally come home to LA because he wants to stay in Oklahoma is insanity. He’s not going to miss his chance to try another year with Westbrook and risk his chance not being there next year.

I will say this.
It is now or never if he wants to be a Laker.
If he doesn't come now, he is never going to be here. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny
Sounds like his agent is trying to create drama by throwing out the word that his client hasn’t decided yet, it gives people something to talk about, that doesn’t mean he won’t re-sign with OKC but there is definitely a agenda when it comes to agents controlling there players.

PG13 better take a reality check. He’s part of the 2nd tier all stars behind LeBron, kd and a healthy KL by a mile. If he’s butt hurt because no ones talking about him lately, so be it. We got bigger fish to fry. A mid first round rookie was more impactful than PG during last years playoffs. Don’t tell me about Westbrook took all the shots, if PG believes in his ability he would’ve fought for his own shots, it’s not like okc had a structural offensive set anyway. The guy reeks mentally weak if he tries to get attention or possibly stays in OKC.

He's always talking worst case scenario for Lakers. I think he doesn't want Lakers to become good. Always felt that seeing him talk about FA scenarios. Telling PG to consider Philly if he's watching. _________________ Showtime 2.0
There are real scenarios where the money isn't there in LA for Paul George. LeBron could prefer a Kawhi and Pope combination for example. George can't alienate the Thunder until he has an offer in hand. Plus, Mintz would probably still like LA to negotiate a deal with Randle so leaving George's interests up in the air also gives him more leverage.
IMO if LA puts a max offer in front of George it's signed at the first opportunity. He didn't force his way out of Indy to become annual first round fodder in Oklahoma. _________________ Austin Reaves keeps his game tight, like Kobe Bryant on game night.
Broussard also said there's tension between CP3 and Rockets as he was promised 4 year max last summer when he opted in and now Rockets not sure about it. Colin started talking about the possibility of Lebron + CP3 with latter on a 2 year max deal if he falls out with the Rockets.

That won't be a smart move by the Lakers. If we still want Leonard next summer, it's not like we can't trade PG 13. Even Blake got traded easily despite his contract. PG 13 is a far better player. We shouldn't risk a strikeout. Chances of Lebron coming only increases if we get PG 13. _________________ Showtime 2.0

And be stuck in OKC or wherever they may trade him if he gets blake griffin’d. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
True. A lot of people have been saying this. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold.
He’s a people pleaser. No need to rub it in when his goal for the past few years is within reach now. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

I don't have high opinions of PG13, I've been very vocal about that. Especially at the cost of young talent, but for FREE, why not. But I just think his $30 million price tag will be a drain in the later yrs.
And if he's truly conflicted? And if he chooses to stay in OKC over LA where his friends and family want him, the challenge of being a Laker, then I'm telling you good riddance, you don't want this guy. This would be on par with his decision making on the court. He's 6'9 with elite T-Mac/Kobe handles but averages 3.2 assists in his career. He makes dumb decisions!!!!

No, he doesn't. His agenda is crystal clear. Which is why his analysis, particularly when it comes to the Lakers, is meaningless.

PG is 27 .... 4 yr max. He’ll only be 31
28 now. He'll be 32 after the 4th year. What I mean by drain is you're going to see better players on the market, but you're stuck with him. Unless your an all time great like MJ, Lebron, Kobe, wings fade when they knock on 30.

He is coming. For him to stay in OKC would truly be one of the most monumentally stupid decisions any NBA player has ever made. It means OKC literally has kidnapped his mom and is holding her hostage in the basement. I don’t know about Lebron and who knows what the Spurs are thinking re: trading Kawhi but the one thing I am 150 percent sure about is PG will be wearing a Laker uniform this year.
He’s a people pleaser. No need to rub it in when his goal for the past few years is within reach now.
That's the problem with him though. By giving OKC fans false hope, he's just going to make people hate him even more. This is especially going to be the case, if he makes his decision to sign with the lakers on July 1st, thereby indicating he never seriously considered OKC all along.
He should just be clear about it, because people pleasing is going to backfire in the end. If he doesn't handle this properly, he might get another the Decision moment, except on a smaller scale because he's not as big a superstar as lebron.
