Pacers officially announce Paul George to start at Power Forward. PG is "not thrilled"

[AAKing23]

Let the PG trade talks begin
@AAKing23 Saric; Embid, and Miami's picks for Paul?

Not ready to part with Embiid just yet

 

[beenz]

first off, he's a SG. it's kinda a stretch to make him play SF. him playing PF is laughable.

 

[jwinfield]

what about when they play the bulls? I guess they'll put him on Noah, and get killed on the boards

Good chance Noah isn't starting

Paul George at PF

 

[Rigby.]

They can't be this stupid.

I assume there will be a lot of smallball lineups where he's at the 4 but still playing relatively the same game as his usual 3 self.

They got CJ Miles playing the 3 breh

Their basic lineup is small. If they go small ball, they might have Larry at center

That nikka is like 6'9/6'10. He grew while in the league, he better adapt.

I would straight up tell Bird and Vogel no

But I'm guessing Bird feels this is the best way because Paul George is not really a good one-on-one player. Most of his baskets were assisted at SG/SF, so in theory, he should have an easier time driving and scoring on PFs.

 

[Rigby.]

Come to the Cavs nikka

PG: George Hill
SG: Monta Ellis
SF: Chase Budinger
PF: George Paul
C: Ian Mahini (sp?)

 

[L. Deezy]

Power Forward? What the fuh?

 

[Crack Daniels]

Your star player is coming off a major injury and you wanna play him out of position against his wishes? Doesnt make sense

 

[big bun]

Play a SG at PF, brehs.

 

[Doctor Doom]

I know the nikka tall, but


PG ain't built for that post life.


LeBron is only able to handle it for periods of time, and we see how tired he gets out there.


Put your all-star Shooting Guard who is fresh from major leg surgery down on the block against 250+ pounders, brehs.

better to just throw Turner out at the 4 and hope for the best
