    Well, it does say George Blazes to the rim in the headline of this video....

    You've gotta be willing to let CJ go if we're getting a player of George's caliber. We're trading a 6th man for a #1 option!

    But, but then were kina in the same boat as last year. No 6th man. I think we could get it done without CJ in there, but it also depends on Indys long term plans. If they are trading George, they aren't gonna be head over heels on CJ because he isn't the build around type and they are starting over. Just thinking off the top of my head. I don't think CJ is as integral as some might. But Meyers might have to go.

    It's a lot easier to replace a 6th man (and CJ isn't even THAT yet!) than it is to get a #1 option. Take the #1 option and worry about your 6th man later. Besides, Harkless or Henderson have the potential to become our 6th man - both would be better than what we had last season. And if IND isn't interested in CJ they're definitely not going to be interested in Crabbe/Aminu.
    It'll definitely take either CJ or Meyers to complete a trade for a star (maybe both depending on the trade), and I'd much rather trade CJ because he overlaps Dame.

    Thanks for posting that. I'd heard Neil and Paul were on the fence about George, but now that they have your endorsement, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we see Paul George in a Blazers uniform!!!

    Nothing else. Your approval was the last roadblock. Deal coming soon!!!!!

    Id still rather give Crabbe and Aminu over CJ. I get what your saying though.

    Well I think we'd all prefer that! But even in these fantasy scenarios there has to be some level of reality. :)

    We're one of the only teams that could pay Paul George a max contract...of all the allstars to pair with Lillard, he's the guy we might have an outside chance to get. Indy wants a small ball PF...George wants to play SF..that would mean Aminu and Kaman, Plumlee or Henderson.,

    I'd be okay with that. Do it now and pick up Robert Upshaw as a defensive anchor.

    Leonard/Upshaw/Kaman
    Davis/Vonleh/Alexander
    George/Harkless/Montero
    Henderson/Crabbe
    Dame/Boatright....and of course the re-acquired Steve Blake

    Umm. CJ is our starting SG, not a 6th man.

    So when the season starts and Gerald Henderson is in the starting lineup as the SG are you going to come in this forum and admit your wrong?
