Its all making sense now

The entire league felt george and the lakers are destined to be together, and didnt want to give up a lot for a rental, especially since it wouldnt put them over the GSW or Cleveland hump. And Indiana didnt want him in cleveland winning a title potentially because its a slap in the face to their entire base

Enter OKC. Presti decides to go all in and trade for him as a hail mary to get russell to sign long term, and maybe even george. Plus it gets them out of the oladipo commitment. Dipo is a nice player, but presti wasnt going to want him on the roster when russ and pg leave so it was a pretty easy decision to make the move

"If the league office's probe can prove the Lakers were guilty of tampering with George while under contract with Indiana, Los Angeles can be punished in several ways, including a loss of draft picks, financial fines up to $5 million, future restrictions on acquiring George and possible suspensions of offending officials."

Lakers might be fined a couple hundred grand, but that'll be it.

They'll maybe get hit with a small fine at most. Gonna be real tough to prove any sort of tampering actually occurred
