| No way PG stays to watch Westbrook and Melo hog the ball. |

Didn't watch the entire game, flipping between that one and Twolves/Clippers but it seemed anytime PG13 scored it was him on nice moves to create his own shot. He had a couple of nice 3s from what I saw.
WB and Melo are so ball dominant that it just looks awkward. PG13 shouldn't stay in OKC. |

could be their preference to avoid the Warriors. |

Windhorst on 710 today.
3 min mark on PG13 among league circles...
“Nobody believes that he has decided on OKC. They believe he will be an available free agent come July 1.” |
Did he also mention that water is wet? Of course he will be an available FA on July 1. The only way he wouldn’t would be if he opted in before then. |
Nice snarky comment from you...kind of ironic since you were pretty convinced that PG13 was “mad” at the Lakers and was re-upping in OKC without hesitation.
There is a long, laundry list of VLF proclamations. You are probably better off just keeping your remarks to yourself especially when you could face a lot of mocking this summer for all the proclamations you like to spit out as fact.
Just trying to help you out. There is a pack of posters on here ready to pounce if VLF strikes out on his “ironclad” predictions. |
Those were words out of George’s mouth and I never said he will re-sign without hesitation. If one pays attention to FAs they would know that they typically talk to teams that they are interested in before deciding where to play. KD might be the only UFA not to do that this offseason.

Is there any sense it’s only between the Thunder and Lakers for George services in FA ? is there any chance the Spurs jump the party or Jerry West trying to screw the Lakers?

Clippers to me seem to be a dark horse in the PG sweepstakes this summer, if they let DJ and Bradley walk they should have enough to offer him a nice contract but I can’t see it cause they would have to bring in another star. |

I think it's basically a two-team race between the Lakers and OKC. There's been nothing so far to indicate the opposite.

There is a history of your posts where you make outlandish statements and backpedal the narrative. Whatever floats your boat, but it’s tiresome and many have mentioned they don’t know why you are always given a pass. Personally, I don’t give a (bleep); other than if you don’t have anything to contribute then don’t, you will be better off in the long run if you don’t make dick posts.
You have said before that you were 100% sure PG13 was signing in OKC and then you moved the goalposts. I’m not wasting my time digging up your posts so it is what it is. |

Nah. The Clips don't really have anything to sell. If he's going to come back home and play in LA, it will be for the Lakers. The Lakers just have way more to sell.

Would love to see them play Minny first... would be a super tough matchup for them, IMO. |

As much as I respect Jerry West, his impact on the Clippers Free agency are overblown. The things that he did with the Lakers and Warriors were great, but some perspective is needed. Making moves and signing Free agents is pretty easy when you have the power of the Laker brand behind you and the World Champion Warriors. In Memphis, he didn't ever sign any big time free agent. He built that team through smart trades and the draft.
No big time free agent is gonna sign with the Clippers over the Lakers unless their is a huge difference in pay. All things equal, nobody is going there over the Lakers, no matter if Wets is there or not. |

The Logo traded Monta Ellis who was clearly the Warriors best player because he thought he was not s winning type of player. Not too many GMs will have that vision and the guts to do that. He also traded a very good starting Center for unproven high schooler who was a perimeter player. That’s a big risk back in the day.
Having said that the Clips are in no position to attract any max players this off season.
