Paul George probably out for the season.

[Kingdibs19]

[The Laker Kid]

They probably still beat the Lakers even without Kawhi and PG

[ryguy613]

Sam Presti is a smart man

laughing at injuries is low class man. cmon. we can be better than that

[Mavrelous]

Another billionaire ruined his franchise future, I expect them to be on the market in 2 years, once he's bored and loses interest.
Happy for OKC though, they are frim very small unattractive market, this would probabely gives them some breathing room.

[ryguy613]

There is also the news, that they could be sellers at the trade deadline. But why? To gift OKC a better pick?

i think the idea is bring in some younger talent to acclimate into their system while they arent trying to go deep into the playoffs. theyre aware that guys like Morris and Ibaka are rapidly losing value as they age so theyre trying to get younger bodies in while they can.

[TheNewEra]

I would take Simmons and Harris on the clips if need be if it’s really about retooling to extend window. Depends how much does Harris drop the value of Simmons to make it possible

[Goner]

The difference between 'probably' and 'possibly' is immense. 'Probably' means something is more likely than not whereas 'possibly' means that there is no logical contradiction in it happening. It is possible that every player in the NBA sits out the rest of the season. See the difference?

If he gets surgery he will miss the season. He ll be out several months. So as long as surgery isn t done i m fine with "possibly" but if he goes under the knife i strongly believe in the possibility of him missing the rest of the season.

I asked on page 1 if someone can tell me/us the effects such an injury has. Until now noone bothered to answer.

You still lack any justification for use of the word 'probable,' since you have no idea of the likelihood of PG getting surgery.

[OkcSinceSGA]

Clippers have a history of handling injuries horribly. Guys supposed to be out 2 weeks, ends up being season etc. The list is long. So not remotely surprised this is the case. I will say the Clippers have straight up wasted 3 years of this duo. So their window basically closing before it even had a chance.

Horrible year to not have a pick. They should move Bledsoe, Morris, Ibaka as they’ve improved their value.

The dude that wrote the article is a hack and is routinely wrong about pretty much everything. Bleacher Report is the ESPN of online journalism

Oh, but i do have an idea! Look, he tried to play through it, most certainly because he was told that surgery will cost him the rest of the season. He had to sit out because of the elbow, then tried to play with it again and then he was shut down with hope that rest will miraculously repair or heal the injury.
I tried to find pro-athletes who didn t do the surgery after that particular injury. I was not successful. My idea is that the Clippers know pretty well that surgery is probably not avoidable but they do not want to compromise their position before the trade deadline. That s why they throw smoke screens, which is understandable.

If any of this is the case then why hasn't he had surgery yet? Surely, he'd want to come back as soon as possible and it's been a month, so...

You don't know any of this; it's more conjecture to justify your previous conjecture.

except how do you get them without giving up PG or Kawhi? You think the Sixers held out this long just to take back Morris, Ibaka, and Kennard? They want a substantial return.

[John Murdoch]

Ppl saying presti? Indiana is the one that made out before the VO injury

[Clyde Frazier]

"could" and "probably" mean two very different things.

Sam presti laughing his ass off

OKC is still second last in the West, last time I checked.

It’s better to be 2nd to last with picks than .500 with no pick and a rapidly closing title window.

You might want to check out the movie "Don't look up".
I could give you some reasonable explanations why he hadn t had surgery yet. But inevitably it comes down to the point that i do not know anything for certain.

"The front office of the Clippers approached Steve Ballmer this past offseason about treating this 21-22 season as more of "a gap year," league sources told Bleacher Report, and Ballmer gave his approval. This strategy has become called the "Warriors model" in which a contending team uses star injuries as an opportunity to reset." Jake Fischer providing one more piece to the puzzle.

[Dadouv47]

As a Thunder fan I Wish this news wasn't coming from Jake Fischer..he was by far the worst reporter last offseason.

That being said it's not impossible PG13 won't come back this season sine his elbow issues are quite serious.

you know, i was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt that you misused the words but it's clear that's not the case. and you're doubling down on it.

posting garbage speculation and trying to pass it off in this way, and then continue to try to justify it makes you someone who has zero idea what they are talking about.
