Will his new team be required to trade for Bronny?

His son's contract just became guaranteed the other day. I've got to respect the business acumen.

It’s honestly hilarious. Good on him

People can hate him, but he is the guy who started the whole thing where players started dictating who was going to play where through free agency and trades. The first guy to take some power out of the organization's GM's hands and into the players.

Ron Pelinka is such a trash GM lol

A lot of pecklewood uncles who "haven't watched since Jordan left" don't think this is a good thing. So they can, and will continue to, hate him.

I appreciate him as a generational talent. I just really hated him during the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals. Once he started guarding Derrick Rose in that series, it was lights out. They probably should have done it sooner.

Yep… I think the 76ers got the better of that. I’m not a big George fan and who knows what those picks will be.
Maxey, VJ, Brown trio is pretty sick. Embid if he can stay healthy has a shot at a ring!

Didn’t even know that Paul George was still in the league

Pacers signed Oubre. That’s a sneaky good signing for the Cers. Pretty solid rotation going into next season.

Halliburton I worry won’t bounce back. He’s fragile.

Oubre…I had to just quick google search. I hope you’re right

And btw again…I’m the only Knicks fan in Indy. But I do love our Pacers too

That’s sort of like being a Pats fan in the 317…why?

Yup. Old man was a big Knicks fan. Bigger Dolphins fan.

I do root Pacers and Colts too

Red Sox fan and now this? Just validates my reasoning for not putting you on my Xmas card list.

That's a lot of draft picks. Boston has some assets now.

Paul George has to be what, 53 years old now?

That's Tate George. He's 58.

I won’t lose sleep. Sox suck this year but if I remember correctly, just swept the Yanks. Please correct if I’m wrong. 😉

The 76'ers??

Raise your hand if you saw that coming

Really? There have been strong rumors about lebron to philly for weeks.

I guess I wasn't tracking it closely. I felt like all I heard was GSW and Miami. Philly wasn't even on my radar.

Buying a home within walking distance of Merion Golf Club.

 

[Irish2155]

Knicks vs Philly in the Garden on Xmas day. I’m pretty sure that’ll happen

First player retirement I can think of where I feel extremely old. I think it was because of how he played. I still think of him as the supernova in OKC.
