He wouldn’t have survived as a Laker. Like Kobe said, some players aren’t cut out for it.
Imagine what KCP went through happened to PG13.
Yup. When Kobe made those comments I heard it but I didn't really fully get it. Now I 100% see what he meant...Pandemic P couldn't hang in purple and gold and he knew it. This was too much for him.
LeBron and AD.. those guys WANTED that pressure and both thrive in it... just like Kobe.
Get over it. PG is getting paid. If he didn't want to play with Lebron on the Lakers, that's a personal choice. I doubt he cares whether fans agree with his decisions. His paychecks will keep rolling in. _________________ Internet Argument Resolved

PG13 far better player than KCP. The level of pressure would be removed with LeBron and AD
PG13 couldn't understand how great he would have had it. Laker star, championship team, $30mm a year and next to no pressure.
Imo KCP demonstrated a lot of mental toughness, something PG13 doesn’t have. Also, I think we have seen PG13 long enough to know he just isn’t a playoff player...he chokes. He would have made everyone forget about Danny Green’s shooting struggles tbh.

The funny thing is, if there were a poll 3 years back on who LG would prefer, 70% of the people here would have picked Palmdale P over Lebron.
The excuses would have been:
“Paul George is from LA and knows what it takes to be a Laker.”
“We don’t want LeGM trading our youth.”
“Lebron is old and declining.”
“No one wants to play with Lebron.”
“Lebron doesn’t play well with ownership, the front office, and the coaches.”
“Lebron would just come here to make movies and retire.”
“Paul George used to wear 24 so he’s more “Mamba”.”
I’m so glad we dodged that bullet. _________________ “You have to dance beautifully in the box that you are comfortable dancing in.” - Kobe Bryant

He's going to regret his decision for the rest of his life. At least it would be a life filled with hundreds of millions of dollars. I don't know how competitive he is but if I was the very competitive type that truly wants to win, then I'd be really upset with myself pondering what it could have been. _________________ Playoffs is good enough. - Jeanie Buss 2024

yeah he's going to regret living in LA making millions of dollars. What a (bleep) life.

One player is actually the GOAT. The other isn’t even top three on the court vs the Nuggets. Glad things worked out for us. _________________ “You have to dance beautifully in the box that you are comfortable dancing in.” - Kobe Bryant

lol chill buddy
Yeah, that was pretty funny. He's acting like he's been personally insulted when anything anyone posts here will not have a consequence on how PG is doing. _________________ I'm like a Hadouken, down-right Fierce!
I still think that he could be good on the lakers as a third option
There always a chance one of PG or Kawhi would come crawling to us after this season. All they’ll hear is Lebron, AD, and Rob laughing behind closed doors. 🤣😂🤣 _________________ “You have to dance beautifully in the box that you are comfortable dancing in.” - Kobe Bryant
I think PG’s Eskimo Brother, Seth Curry, said it best when he called PG a “(bleep) Ass” after scoring an And1 on him. _________________ “You have to dance beautifully in the box that you are comfortable dancing in.” - Kobe Bryant

Correction .. playing for Clippers and LA means pretty much living in Cali year round.

he would have had zero pressure here. bron/ carries most, followed by AD. Kuz gets grief. PG could have hidden

Would we have won last year with PG and LeBron?
Scenario 1: LeBron, PG, Ingram, Ball, Kuzma, etc.
Scenario 2: Deal for AD gets done. I'm assuming we would have had to give up both Kuzma and Ingram for AD. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

How good is Paul George, really? 28.0 PPG with 1st team defense in 2019 with OKC. That's MVP level production. But then he looked like a scrub in the playoffs this year. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

He said no to Lebron, as did Kawhi and other players. Not everyone wants to join his team since they will be the scapegoat, not Lebron. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
