    So, is PG13 one and done in OKC, or is there any chance he falls in love with Cow Town and forsakes the land of sunshine and movie stars?

    My guess is that OKC saw what LAC was able to do with CP3, and so they gambled knowing full well that George will probably bounce next summer but thinking they can probably get an Olidipo/Sabonis-level package from LAL in a S/T.

    Why would LAL do that when they can get him for free

    Exactly. If he wants to sign there, they'll have the cap space. So, it would be stupid to give up anything for him.

    CP3 forced his way to HOU. PG13 won't need to force anything.

    You want to explain the mental gymnastics of this move? They would have had to trade Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon

    HOU didn't have the cap space to sign him to outright MAX. They were planning on trading Bev and Lou Williams to another team if not the Clippers.

    About the same percentage as if he were traded to us: 0-25%

    zero....George misses Los Angeles....if you've ever been to Oklahoma City, it's not a huge attraction to a guy who wants to live next to Jay Z and Will Smith

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    1-25% is a pretty big range. I'd say 0-5%.

    Ah, okay. Still, George could play it up that he wants his 5th year on a contract - George has all the power IF OKC does well enough that they're w WCF contender...and I think they can be.

    Yeah, I had to pick 1-25 but it's closer to one. Maybe there is something he'll love, a restaurant or a charity he gets involved with or something.

    Who knows, maybe Westbrick will wine and dine him all year.

    That Oladipo contract stunk and he was a poor fit with Russ. Even if PG13 walks, I like this deal for OKC because of shedding that crap contract. Losing Sabonis Jr isn't great, but that price they needed to pay.

    They actually get more cap/tax flexibility with this move. Unbelievable.
