So is Everyone in Agreement That The Paul George/Shai trade Was The Absolute WORST Trade in NBA History?

[FunkDoc1112]

GS WAS THE BETTER TEAM PERIOD.

OKC HAD TERRIBLE ROSTER CONSTRUCTION
PLAYING WESTBROOK, ROBERSON, IBAKA AND ADAMS
AT THE SAME TIME IN 2016.
THERES TEAMS IN THE 90S WITH
BETTER SPACING THEN THIS.

ALL GS DID WAS START SENDING HELP
AND PACKING THE PAINT.


​

Youre talking like KD and Westbrook weren't building entire New York City blocks in those last three games. They blew it.

Unless you called it day one you can’t come and shyt on the clippers

Sports fans are the ultimate “I could’ve bought nvidia but… I didn’t”

OKC was overwhelming these nikkax up until game 5. Your best player going like 9-27 in a potential close out game hurts your cause.

I’m not rolling

Truth be told a lot of these conversations expose real life pussies

Too scared to make actual predictions or go against the grain but love swimming in hindsight

Right...they upset the Spurs the previous round the same way, and the Spurs that year were a juggernaut and would've won 70 their damn selves if they didn't sit everybody the last week of the season

CARUSO IS 30 YEARS OLD.

IDK HOW MUCH YOU THINK
SOMEONE LIKE DORT IS COMMANDING.

RESIGNING HIM WITH THE
NEW SALARY CAP YEARS FROM NOW
WONT BE AN ISSUE


​

All these guys are up after next season. Also are you forgetting Dort took a huge cut when he reupped last time?

He’s basically a younger Caruso & will demand a lot on the open market.

NO shyt...

"ALL GS DID WAS START SENDING HELP

GS SIMPLY STOPPED
GUARDING THE ROLE PLAYERS.

EITHER KD/RUSS WAS GOING
TO WIN GOING AGAINST EXTRA DEFENDERS OR THE ROLE PLAYERS
WERE GONNA HAVE TO BEAT GS
AND WE KNEW THAT WASNT GOING
TO HAPPEN.

HUGE PAY CUT?

HE GOT 82MS COMING
OFF A 40/33/84 SEASON
ON A BAD TEAM.

HE WAS PAID HANDSOMELY

Nope. Trade HAD 2 HAPPEN or Klaw wasnt going to the clippers. Who knows if Shai develops the same way if he stays in LA

OKC also hasn't won anything yet either, I think both teams got what they wanted out of the deal.

 

[Loose]

Harden for Jeremy Lamb is worse. It prevented a dynasty. OKC never got back to the finals without Harden


So far the clips with George has made a wcf. OKC with SGA has only sniffed the second round

Rockets never done anything with harden mever built around meh trade for both teams.

Man let me see if I can find the thread along with the initial reactions. It was a unanimous opinion he was underpaid on that deal

AND I REMEMBER CORRECTING
THE KNEE JERK COLI IN THAT THREAD.

DUDE HAD PUTRID SHOOTING NUMBERS
FOR HIS WHOLE CAREER UNTIL LAST SEASON.

HE WAS DEFINITELY OVERPAID
FOR HIS CAREER PRIOR TO LAST SEASON.

NOW HES PAID ACCORDINGLY

You took that post personal. It’s not about the rockets. It’s about the Thunder preventing their own dynasty. Harden Durant And Russ would’ve won a ring(s) eventually.
