    What are the odds Paul George and Russ become best friends forever and get an apartment together in Los Angeles after this next season?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    My guess is that Presti sees the writing on the wall, that Westbrook is unlikely to re-sign long-term after next season, so he decided to raise the stakes. If you're going to go bankrupt if you lose either way, you might as well increase your upside if you win. If Westbrook leaves after next year, having Oladipo (who wasn't very good and never has been all that great) and Sabonis (too soon to know for sure, but his rookie season was absolutely awful) is not going to change your franchise outlook at all.

    And, in the tiny chance that George hits it off with Westbrook and the team overachieves and does something like make it to the Western Conference Finals, maybe both guys re-sign. It's probably a little better than holding onto two mediocre assets and ensuring Westbrook leaves.

    1-25%, the amount of shots Russ will let PG take.

    I don't think we can make fun of OKC, at least they are making moves and trying to get their superstar some help. Cow town? They've been to more WCF than us this side of 2000... what does that make us?

    Taking advantage of Indiana's obsession to fuck over the Celtics, Lakers, and Blazers is commendable, but OKC can always be made fun of. Trading James Harden, Blowing a 3-1 lead to the Warriors, Losing KD for nothing, basically ruining the league. This is all OKC's fault.

    They're the North Korea of the NBA. They might seem small, but they will absolutely fuck shit up.

    I am not so convinced there is zero chance. Right now it seems very unlikely that he will stay but you cannot predict people's feelings, what if he feels very well there and feels they can challenge for the titles with him? What if they can convince another big free agent to sign there next Summer somehow, or if their existing line up turns out much better than anticipated?

    I'd say 25-30%.

    Too early to say. It depends on how far OKC gets in the playoffs. If they don't make it to at least the western finals I say he is most likely gone.

    pretty unlikely to re-sign, but if they have a great year, that chance should go up. unless of course he gives no fucks about results and wants $ and the life outside bball of LA
