Or perhaps Lebron told him he was staying in Cleveland?

When have you known LBJ to tell anybody anything.

Besides PG going home to LAL was never contingent on LBJ going there. He told the Pacers when he became a FA he had every intention of signing with LAL. LAL didn't want to give up assets for him.

[JayBirdHawk]

Illy going home to Bud.

Because OKC did a masterful job the moment he got there to make him feel wanted and convinced him to stay.

I just find it strange considering how bad he wanted to be in LA.  But hey, I guess he  just loves Oklahoma. lol

Btw, how can they afford Melo's ridiculous contract now?

Now way I pay CP3 40 mill a year at this point. And I like him..

[marco102]

DeAndre Jordan 1 year 24.1 million to Dallas.  

This will help keep the pick in the 6 -12 range.

They are trying to get rid of him ... terrible fit and he is on the decline ... they need a of who can defend and hit the open three

They have bird rights to PG, so they can exceed the cap to resign him. Melo has picked up his option to stay.

OKC is a double offender of the Luxury Tax so look for them to be trying to dump some salary.

Boy!   If the Lakers strike out in free agency, then they are the poster child for why it is foolish to try and build through the draft.  Four straight top 6 picks with three #2 picks, and they may strike out completely because the “assets” they got in the draft aren’t good enough to net a Kawhi Leonard or perhaps attract James.  

James is apparently meeting with Kolby Altman right now.  

[JayBirdHawk]

 

3+1 player option. Wow, that is a comittment.

[marco102]

PG13 - 4 years $137 million with OKC.  

They're about to pay a ton of taxes.  

Better stretch Melo.

[KB21]

The Hawks should have made that deal for Paul George and gone forward with Paul and Paul.
