    Where's a Police Academy marathon when you need it?

    That's a big domino. Drives down market value and all but forces Indy to trade him.

    To pretty much only LA. Who else would trade for him now? And why would the lakers give up anything?

    The offer to Indy can now be very small. #15 + Ezeli + Moe for PG13.

    Gamble on the ability to sell him your organisation in 12 months. Low risk / High reward.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    A team like Cleveland might try to see if they can get him cheaply, as a one-year rental to try and win the title.

    I don't see anything in that article that changes what the narrative has always been. We all knew he wanted to play for LA. Him being more vocal about it doesn't change anything other than other teams now won't touch him. Benefit Portland.

    I bet there's a team out there that's thinking that same exact thing except they will offer even more.

    The timing of this is interesting though.

    Possible. But it's then a bidding war. Which we could have significant leverage in.

    Why? if he's gonna get traded, Thursday seems the most likely. The thing i dont understand is how this is so different than his interview a couple days ago where he said he wants to stay (we all knew it was bs, but)

    Fuck it lets go for it. Losing George after one year is worth Harkless and a pick.

    That's exactly why it's interesting. I was under the impression that Indy would hold onto him and hope he made all NBA so they could offer him the supermax. Now a draft day trade seems inevitable.

    Give them Moe+15+20+2018 1st. Do it! Let's just witness a year of awesomeness before going back to our usual mediocrity. Hell give em Crabbe too and get back big Al.

    Switch #15 to #20 and I'd probably do that. A lineup of Dame, CJ, Nurk and George should easily be a 55+ win team if they stay healthy. There's a chance George would like the winning and stay.

    I say fuck it, offer something. We dished out mega contracts to crabbe, turner, shitty one to Meyers. If the organization will take that risk, try Paul George for a season. Fuck it
