no clue what OKC is doing if PG is not staying there after this year, and there's no reason for PG to stay

The east is even more of a trash fire now with Jimmy and PG off to the west.

Makes the Sixers playoff push that much easier tho

Is there some rule that prevents good players going west to east?

Olapido sucks, Sabonis might be a rotation player. Who cares, take a swing.

Also just because George is in Indy now and says hes going to leave doesnt mean he cant change his mind. A non zero chance he decides he likes playing on a team that wins games and stays. Basically the thunder just traded Ibaka for Oladipo for George in a short span. If both Westbrook and George bolt they are in a easy tank spot and did there best to keep Westbrook by getting some stars around him.

Just to confirm it all: It's Paul George for Domantas Sabonis and Victor Oladipo. No picks.

I like it from OKC's perspective the more I think about it. You need to keep Russ happy, and Russ wants to win. Oladipo/Sabonis could still amount to something, but not soon enough to move the needle. Some small % of the time you end up with two top 15 players for the next 5 years or so. If George leaves Russ could still stay. And if Russ was always gonna leave then you just start the rebuild quicker when they both leave next year.

Seems like PG hurt IND's position when he doesn't just stop at "I'm not coming back to Indiana" but goes on with "I'm for sure signing with LOL after this year." Who knows what other offers IND had but I have a hard time believing they turned down anything much better.
