Westbrook's value is now at its highest. Presti can retool around Paul George by trading away the MVP for a few complementary All Stars plus 1st round picks to form a new core with PG.
Wtf? Went out for a beer and this happens. Wow

Indy just sent a huge message to the NBA and its players.
You with us and we'll with you more.
We'll send you to the worst outpost in the league with the most selfish pariah of a teammate who will hog the ball and ruin your stats going into your free agent year.
You think you humiliated us . . .
We'll take next to nothing in return for you, humiliating you even more.
You won't be going where you want to go to smirk and win.
We may take a hit but you'll take a bigger one -- and it will be worth it.
It may be only one year but it will seem like more.
(Or words to that effect. )
Bleh, seeing how little they gave for him is a bummer. I dont think he would have put us over the top anyway but he was our only shot. Oh well, I just hope the spurs dont tie up money in middle tier players. Sucks to waste a year of Kawhi's prime but its time to wait.
Relax you guyz, it's cool. We re-signed Patty Thrillz.
Which is why the Spurs should have gone after him. They could offer him a legitimate chance to win a ring. Could have got rid of LMA also.

Oh, so now Russell Westbrook and Paul George can learn to play together for a season in OKC before bolting for LA?
Our FO getting destroyed right now.
Drunkford bringing in the Australian microwave and Joel Anthony during the deadline and free agency
Meanwhile there's all stars available for ing Takis bags
Pretty much this, miss out on CP3 and Paul George, only thing they can sort of save face with is to somehow land Carmelo Anthony which I highly doubt. This offseason has been awful so far for the Spurs.
IND would have been better off holding PG for the year and letting him walk rather than taking on a terrible contract. But at least they didn't cave and send him to LA. Make LA sign PG using all their cap space and make him take a pay cut for wanting to play for a loser.
Pacers got it right lol. They knew Paul George wanted to be a Laker but sent him to Oklahoma first to suffer as Westbrook's sidekick for a year. Pacers even made it look like PG was worth a Sabonis and Oldaipo. They turned down the celtics and cavs because they didn't want to help them which makes perfect sense.
Not that bad of a deal for Pacers, they get two players with upside that they can keep for 3+ years.
Not sure why people complain about Spurs not getting PG. Short of sending Kawhi they couldn't make a better offer than the OKC one.
Another example of how Ainge is excellent at acquiring assets, but lousy at using them smartly to make a deal.
calm down guys - he was never in the top of the list - he's also only going to stick there for a year...
Lmao at everyone flaming the Spurs FO. We talk for months about how difficult it is to get a star, then people act like they unexpectedly dropped the ball big time by not getting a star. Get a goddamn clue.
Paul George is a 6'9" jumpshooter shooting a career 43%. His teams have never been any good.
If you didn't like LMA . . .
Spurs had no chance of getting PG. A lot of spur fans scream that they could have traded Green,LMA for him but there is no way the Pacers accept that deal. LMA and Green are in their 30's and teams don't like to take big contracts of guys over the age of 30. Spurs had no young assets that they could have given up to get PG. There is a lot of ing about how OKC got PG for Oladipo and Sabonis but the Spurs don't have any young players that are as good as those 2 on their roster. Dejounte could turn out to be better than those 2 guys but he's currently unproven.
The real winner, LeBron James playing in any even tier Eastern Conference. Didn't think that was possible. The cakewalk to the Finals continues for that lucky cuck.
His Pacers team nearly beat the prime Heatles in the Eastern Conference Finals, you dummy.
But, none of those teams that supposedly got better are still not even close to being on par with Golden State.
Even if the spurs had managed to get a Chris Paul or a Paul George, they're still not at the warriors level.
Ainge got lucky twice, that's all.
He was around when suddenly Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen were available. He was around when the stupidest GM in sports history was willing to trade ungodly amounts of picks for them when they were done.
That's it.
Most worthy #2 post of the entire summer.
Really? with what?
He said he wanted to leave Indy because he couldn't win there. He had one 50-win season in seven years there.
