Paul George stunned a lot of people Sunday morning when he decided to re-sign with the Thunder and not give the Lakers the time of day. An entire year of Lakers hype went down the drain instantly as PG effectively committed the prime of his career to OKC by signing a four-year, $137 million deal.
No one in the industry had a better reaction to this stunner than ESPN Insider and expert LeBronologist Brian Windhorst, who had himself a moment on “The Jump” discussing the move:

What was the reaction from Lakerland, where way too many entitled people probably jumped the gun? Salty, would be an appropriate one-word description:

Paul George made a 3 your documentary praising the Lakers. He figured Laker Nation would be like “It’s okay Paul, you did what you had to do. There’s no hard feelings” Naw fuck that nigga. You are about to receive that Dwight Howard treatment.
