I love the fit of Kawhi and PG together. Those two plus Beverly is going to be a lights out defensively lineup. PG is great in a secondary role, great spot up shooter. Both of those guys can be the number one guy but are also fine off the ball, unlike a lot of stars. They can still let Lou Will run the show when he’s in there.
its definitely nice to have some type of parity, if Durant had not of gone to the Warriors in the first place I would have totally been a Warriors fan during that run, but man did that move water down the league. Heck 90 percent of teams didnt even try to compete for a title and why would they.
Once the playoffs roll around they are going to be impossible to score on.
Kudos to Paul George for screwing over his second NBA team. Big accomplishment!
Really, I thought that considering the circumstances Presti and OKC did about as well as they could hope. SGA is a nice player with a high ceiling and you just never know where those draft picks will fall.

I feel like he's doubly screwed over okc. Once last year when he was flirting with the Lakers so no one else would go to okc... And then this year
He put them in a situation with zero leverage. Just because Kevin Pritchard pulled a rabbit out of his hat doesn't let PG off the hook for that.
If LeBron keeps playing regular season defense like he has the past few seasons, the Lakers are going to have some god awful lineups defensively this year.
There's going to be a real short list of teams interested in taking on him and that deal, Miami would seem to make the most sense. They have the contracts to move to make the deal work and Riley loves his superstars.
Jimmy B and Russ on the same team would be an intriguing ego battle.
My take on the PG/OKC trade to LAC is this: great haul for kids that are in middle school right now but why would you do that if you're OKC? They have PG under contract for four more years.
I agree. OKC going full rebuild with a massive loot of picks makes sense for a small market team. But who the hell is taking on that Westbrook contract?
