Come to the east Hayward.

So boring though.

 

[jbug617]

breh the plan went to shit before July 1. We taking L's

 

[Sandfox]

How is this the offer Indiana takes? I really don't get that.

 

[Bread]

Why pacers

That's such a terrible return

 

[LionPride]

PG13 goin to Oklahoma City is wild

 

[Jarate]

Lol Indiana

 

[Nialrot]

Its really tough being a Orlando Magic fan.. these trades are absurd.

Low investment trade

Danny fucked around to much tho, if he doesn't get Hayward..

[OfficerRaichu15]

Welp what stars are left for free agency?

 

[LyleLanley]

Why would the Pacers not hold out for at least a few more days? That's an awful trade.

 

[Slizeezyc]

Danny Ainge if you don't get Gordon Hayward, you're the worst.

If you get Gordon Hayward, you're still bottom five.

Paul George, like Jimmy Butler before him, is Westbound. Another reason for a team like the Raptors to keep the band together. East is thin

 

[RBelong2Us]

Man...how in the world did the Eastern conference get worse? Didn't think it was possible

Awful owners

 

[LionPride]

Yo Oladipo is owed so much money too, Indy dumb

 

[panthapanda]

Welp what stars are left for free agency?

Zaza the gawd

 

[Sandfox]

Low investment trade

It makes sense for OKC because they need to convince Westbrook to stay, but the rumored deals from before the draft were way better. Maybe the Pacers just played themselves by waiting.

 

[Chase17]

Embiid is hilarious.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Lol yeah get mad at Ainge for the Pacers rushing into a terrible trade

Gotta sell tickets to Hoosiers fans duh

 

[LionPride]

Like, the only good teams in the East are gonna be Cavs and Celtics at this rate holy shit

Sam Presti essentially flipped Serge Ibaka's contract for Paul George. Incredible. I can't believe Indiana didn't hold out until next week.

Paul George is a perfect second star for Russ. Elite defender, spot-up threat off the ball, best as secondary ball-handler.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Lol yeah get mad at Ainge for the Pacers rushing into a terrible trade

You don't think they shopped around before taking that deal? If Boston was willing to beat it then they would've had the chance.

 

[Kickz]

Danny watching ESPN now

 

[Oozer3993]

Live look at Kyle Lowry's house:

 

[ratcliffja]

Jimmy Butler

Oh yeah I forgot about him. The East remaining a cake walk is probably the biggest reason that LeBron stays.

 

[pislit]

Eastern Conference is a D-League now?

 

[darkside31337]

Zards are going to win 55+ games next year without even doing anything this offseason. They should just go for it.

 

[Bread]

It's hard to believe but the Pacers found a deal worse than the Lakers offer...and they took it at the time where PG's value was lowest. Insane.

 

[Farsi]

I think it's finally time to stop praising Danny Ainge.

 

[neptunes]

Like, the only good teams in the East are gonna be Cavs and Celtics at this rate holy shit

Did you somehow forget the Raptors?

 

[RBelong2Us]

Did you somehow forget the Raptors?

LOL

 

[Oozer3993]

Did you somehow forget the Raptors?

The official slogan of the Toronto Raptors.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

PG gone. Blake gone. Danny gonna end up with a bunch of draft picks and his dick in his hands.

 

[LyleLanley]

Boston was never going to make the trade before signing Hayward. Pacers rushed into a bad trade.

 

[Bread]

If they traded for PG they wouldn't be able to sign Hayward

So the West will have these major star groupings next year, competing for playoff spots

• Curry - Klay - Durant - Draymond
• Wiggins - Butler - KAT
• Kawhi and Greg Poppovich
• Harden - CP3
• Westbrook - Paul George
• Lillard - CJ - Nurkic
• Jokic - Murray - Harris (unless Nuggets go for one of the multiple big FAs they're linked to)
• Griffin and company
• Rick Carlisle and his unlikely playoff runs
• Mike Conley - Marc Gasol
• Anthony Davis - DeMarcus Cousins

And maybe Hayward - Gobert Jazz.

This fucking conference...

 

[random25]

To be fair to the Pacers, what good offer is there to get for PG13? He ruined his own trade value so yeah. This is depressing for us Pacers fans either way.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Maybe the Clippers should've just let Blake walk and blown things up. The West is fucking nuts.

 

[jbug617]

No draft picks in the trade

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

Hayward would be crazy to stay in the west after these moves.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Oladipo is a Hoosier though, maybe that's like an extra cherry on top for the Pacers.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Lmao Pacers that is so bad.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

The only thing I can think is that PG and his agent made it absolutely 100% clear to everyone that he's going to be a Laker next year, no matter fucking what, and everyone got scared away.

Sniff.... lol

That's what I'm thinking too.

Indiana got completely fleeced. That's actually worse than just letting George walk.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Sniff.... lol

Oh shit I forgot him.

Yeah, as a secondary star, he should still count, he's not THAT bad
