    Jonas has had his way with Whiteside.

    DeRozen's jumper makes me cringe as bad as Aminu's does.

    Let what go? Logic? This all started with people saying that the elbow from waiters wasn't a foul. Eventually they shifted their stupid argument to something else... Maybe you guys should let it go. The butthurt about Lamarcus is strong in here

    You think we are unhappy? What about Toronto fans? Miracle shot for OT and still lose. At home.

    Haha there's no way in hell Indiana trades PG. No way. That's like us trading Dame to start over and on top of that he's locked up for years to come? That's impossible to even imagine

    well we know the Fakers are desperate to be relevant again, the question is, just HOW desperate are they?

    LA is gonna get Boogie for the lotto pick. I don't see Indy trading George. I thought they might do it at the beginning of the season, but they're still competitive. He's still very young. They ain't trading him for some rookie.

    I'd offer up CJ for Boogie at that point, at least he's a proven young player with upside.

    Indiana might have done it last off-season during a shitty year for them, but after a comeback year and growth in their young guys, it is not even an option. Them trading George at this point would be like us trading lillard for a draft pick.

    I would assume that it would be this years pick and some filler players

    That's just not worth it.

    Are any of the players in the draft even better than George? Probably not, and he's only 26.

    LA doesn't have any filler players.

    I suppose they could offer Randle, Clarkson and their first round pick. I would still just hang on to Paul George though. If you have someone like George or Kawhi you don't just get rid of them when they are just hitting their prime.

    Id laugh that off the phone.

    You need a star now. None of those are there yet.

    Exactly. And I will admit, that is actually a pretty damned good package, but more for a struggling team with a disgruntled super star. Definitely not the worst package in that situation. But Indy and Paul George? Not even close to being in that category. They are on the way up.

    If I was Houston, I would be on the phone right now with LA about that package for Harden.

    THAT would be a great package for them.

    Yeah, as a Blazers fan, I think that's a perfect fit for the Lakers.

    A selfish, prima donna that puts himself above his team. Kobe passes the torch to The Beard.

    Don't give them any ideas. You know that useless front office is probably trolling the RC2 forums for ideas!
