Paul George Trade Thread

[No Homo]

This quote from that article

The Clippers are interested in George in the same way most of us are interested in driving a Bentley. It sure sounds nice and would probably be a lot of fun, but we don't have any money, and the spare Taco Bell coupons we have to barter with aren't getting the job done.

Better Teague than Irving on defense, no? Besides the fact that you might constantly have to worry about Irving getting injured, Teague is simply a better defender in the fundamentals, no? At least I thought he was when he was with Atlanta - I can't say that I watched him at all last year.

And on offense, you could still abuse Curry on switches. Hiding on Teague really isn't any less work for him than hiding him on JR or Shump.





Yes, I agree that this is a BEST case scenario for the next couple years. This is a win or nothing.

I'd say it's worth it because they have Lebron now. You don't win with Lebron, you might go another 50 years before your next one.

It's also the best chance to keep Lebron. If they beat the all-everything Warriors and win a championship next year, do you really think that they break that up? Butler has two years on his contract, Teague would be a sign-and-trade so you can pin him down for at least a couple years, Frye doesn't matter, so you're basically asking Lebron and PG13 to stay on. If the team works, I think they will.

As far as a future with Uncle Drew...I just don't see anything happening there. Once Lebron's gone, then you have an entertaining max-player as your PG who is never going to effectively bring out the best in his teammates on offense or defense, and who is very liable to being an injury issue the rest of his career because his knees have NEVER been straight a full season. And you're stuck complementing him with Love (they fit terrible together on D) and TT (they fit terrible together on O). You really going to give up on Lebron's last year in town for that future?

That's all reasonable, Griffin has made some impressive things happen but this would probably be the best series of moves we've seen from a GM in a minute. If they pan out to a championship of course. Only reason why I can't rule it out in terms of practicality is cause Griffin does have larger goals on the horizon. This set up would basically get him a job damn near everywhere.

It should be PG or bust for the Cavs. Butler doesn't get them past GSW.


Although it would force Curry to guard Kyrie

“Teams are trying to decide what’s the appropriate cost for a player who they’re being told, pretty adamantly by Paul George’s camp, will be a rental."

"No matter who you are, no matter who has checked in or who potentially will check in, they’re gonna be told that Paul George is gonna play the season out and then he’s gonna go to the Lakers, that that’s his plan.”
