I think Philly will pull back a little on what they was going to offer OG even though the Knicks still want OG but they have their price. OG is about to lose some money.
I think Philly is going to have a lot more trouble filling out their rosters than most people assume. Remember last time the Knicks had max salary space, the Knicks resigned Burks and Noel, and signed Kemba and Fournier. The big danger to me is if OG is more Jerami Grant than Aaron Gordon and looks around the Knicks roster and wonders if he'll be getting a bunch of shots or is he more keen on competing for a championship.
How much is Kyle Lowry going to want? OG is good but he hasn't been as consistent a scorer as PG or DeRozan. Orlando might be a bigger threat.
It's fair to say that PG has his choice of LAC, Philly, NYK if he wanted?
LAC-Nets-Knicks could all do a wild 3 team trade that could satisfy a lot of scenarios.

But OG does so many things well!
AAron Gordan is the modern verson of Charles Oakley. Dray was bridge??
Jerami Grant can score.
Toronto had many needs going forward and made sense to trade him as they did.
I expect OG to resign with Knicks following most logic and media that makes sense.

I am torn on the George vs Randle debate. I mean, George is a better player than the player Randle thinks he is. But I don't think George is a better player than the player I think Randle can be. Its just frustrating watching Randle try to do too much offensively himself and take plays off on defense. I think my "TripleDouble" Randle is the epitome of the point forward position and is an All NBA caliber player. George, is right there as All NBA but at 18mm more per year and 4 years older, I am hesitant.
Kind of want Randle to deliver on the expectations I have for him :)
