Why would they trade him to OKC when they can get Kyrie for him?

how would I be taking "biiiig Ls"?
 
I said before last year that they are a first round exit at best (which they were). As of their current roster right now they're a 4 seed.
 
Swap Carmelo for Penis Kanter and clearly you're going to be freaking good (better than Houston). Who would be saying otherwise?

Unless you're referring to me saying the Thunder have no shot of improving due to their awful contract situation, then I guess sure give me the loss. I'm still shocked Presti got rid of Oladipo's awful contract, and receiving Paul George in return nonetheless. I'd rather trade for Ryan Anderson than Oladipo, and if the Knicks were willing to trade for Anderson then Melo would already be in Houston
 
Like seriously, PG13 could walk next year and go to the Lakers and I'd still give Presti the GMOTY award. That Oladipo deal is awful

Yea, hed ruin okc too so he needs to stay away

My statement melo to okc last year was when they had no one else and it woulda been a last resort sort of thing that woulda made sense for okc and him because why be on an 11th seed when u can play in the playoffs


And mexi bnc bosox taking Ls because they said melo would never wanna play in oklahoma and mexi added that he wouldnt wanna play with russ

So if rumors are trueee [emoji102][emoji102]

neglecting the addition of paul george is a huge oversight there, paulie
 
like i bet every single person here wouldnt have said love wanted to go to the cavs before lebron said he was coming back.
 
 
melo was not waiving his ntc to play for the thunder if they didnt get pg13

Also still crazy to think that Isaiah Thomas averaged 30.8 PPG/36 last season and yet will have 165 players making more money than him this season

Ok youre forgiven bosox even tho u said melo in okc would "literally never happen" implying no matter what, he would never want to play there cuz then u went on to say how he'd only want big markets bc of his brand, but we can let that one slide


Mexi still with the possible L for saying "lol at you thinking any star would wanna play with Russ in OKC"


Anyway, this shit better not happen, hopefully bill simmons just trolling

And bosox u keep saying that dipos contract is awful but give it another year and hes gonna be worth 20M. Hes also better than u think

With the money guys getting nowadays, 20M is soon to be nothing

If crabbe turner etc getting that, dipo has to as well

because again, in the day in age where deals floated around are jimmy butler for crowder and two brooklyn picks, it seemed rather unfathomable that the thunder could acquire paul george in any possible way.
 
if you told me two days before the george trade went down "hey bosox bet u okc trades oladipo and sabonis for pg13" i would have laughed your head off.
 
I can't understate how bad of a deal the pacers took for their superstar. like they easily could have had crowder, yabusele, and tatum for paul george, and thats unquestionably a better deal than what they took.

Crowder is pointless for them, yabusele doesnt move the needle as a prospect

So basically taytum or dipo/sabonis


Id prolly argue dipo/sabonis lightly if i was drunk lol

yabu is all upside, but was more of a salary filler than anything. i dont expect anything from him
 
dont see how crowder is pointless, knowing that hes on a great contract (he'll get paid $21.92M over the next three years combined while Oladipo makes $21.0M this year), and put up better numbers than oladipo last year while being the better defender
 
its really not even close of a debate

The direction the Pacers are heading too, crowder is pointless for them at this point

He needs to be on a playoff team

For 2.1M?

Steal in my books. Could be a serious contender for 6th man if kyrie doesnt get traded
