So is Everyone in Agreement That The Paul George/Shai trade Was The Absolute WORST Trade in NBA History?

[Don Homer]

Yeah this trade is up there. They traded the future MVP and a bunch of picks for a guy who’s not on the team anymore

 

[FAH1223]

Doesn’t even sound right have Paul George netting the biggest haul in NBA history

There is no trade worse than this..

It’s Kawhi’s fault

All so he could do this

 

[MikelArteta]

It's up there

 

[Jplaya2023]

It's up there

No because kahwi wanted PG

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Yes

 

[MikelArteta]

No because kahwi wanted PG

Doesn't matter they got fleeced. OKC got Shai and Jalen Williams

Paul George is responsible for okc and Indy making the finals

 

[MikelArteta]

Shai gilgeous Alexander only 26
Already a mvp

One of only 5 guys - Jordan, harden, wilt, Oscar Robertson who have averaged 30ppg in 3 consecutive seasons.

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

For paul fukking george

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Shai ended up in the best situation for his development and timeline.

Did you know that, numbers-wise (raw stats, advanced stats, analytics, etc), he's as good if not better than KD, Steph, and Kawhi were at the same age (25-26)?

And those were their MVP/runner up (for Kawhi) ages.

He's knocking on the doors of a transcendent level run

So without hindsight would you had done what kahwi asked in 2019?

OKC made a ton of moves that got them where they are now. selling both and kd when they still had value was the beginning.

flipping an old (but still good) cp3 to the suns was another great move

obviously moving PG-13 for SGA plus a million picks was the piece de resistance

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

OKC has been involved in two of the most lopsided trades ever. This one and the Harden deal should be studied in fleecing 101
