I know he's good but no.
Just no.

4 yr/$190m for Paul George

HAAAAA

No no no

I understand why they did it. They had to because they already see the future and what options they had. PG was a no brainer for them but.........no. I'm a hater of this extension.

Same as Tobias Harris I think?

It's way too much money for less than superstar players. It just makes me feel sick to my stomach!
I'm going to try and unwind and release my built up stress by playing Heroes of the Storm all evening.
Please keep me alerted if James Harden is traded. I doubt it's going to happen today but you never know.

All that money to hit the backboard in the playoffs

Iffy

PG is in my view a superstar in terms of ability. He's also a superstar in terms of bitching about last season. If this deal doesn't shut him the F*CK UP then he's going to lose a chunk of my respect. I understand the decision to pay him but I don't love it. Maybe they can do some work and win a championship with better chemistry and a minor move or two.

Is he better than how he was used? Yes.
Is he better than Kawhi? No.
Wass he used in the worst, stupidest way possible? No, and his attitude is part of why he wasn't used in a way that he liked.

Remember in the first round when he said he was through all the bs and would carry the team?

me neither

People hating on this deal like PG wasn't a legit top 3 MVP candidate and the #2 scorer in the league just a season ago in 2018-19...

Recency bias mate

He took a big step back, particularly in the bubble.. injuries lingered throughout the season for him also
