Did Indy win the Paul George Trade?
Westbrook's deficiencies are certainly starting to get some attention. Saw a video on r/NBA the other day of him frequently standing around on offence - virtually no off-ball movement when his peers at PG are sprinting off screens to get free and create opportunities.

Against all expectations, Indy actually got a really good haul for George, but that doesn't mean OKC has lost the trade. OKC hasn't put it together consistently yet, but I still think they can be force this season.
I watched them play the Celtics early on and their defence was stifling. They are one of the few teams I've watched whose defence really made Boston work hard to score. The foundation is there for them to be a tough team, they just need to sort their offence out and give more consistent effort.

Can't say Victor was guaranteed to explode like he has, but a dramatic improvement was always on the cards. He's very much a homebody and generally turned it on (for Orlando and OKC) whenever he played games in Indiana. He's never going to leave, even if he turns to shit.
Losing two good young players in Vic and Sabonis for a one-year rental of PG, OKC did very much lose this one. Rare L for Presti

You could definitely make that argument. Dipo has exploded
