    That's the only reason he's available (if he is).

    I would hope we would offer something like this for Paul George (doesn't hurt to offer):
    Mo, Turner and Vonleh (who played at Indiana, so they might have a soft spot for him) plus whatever picks for George and Ellis (whom we immediately waive).

    Basically we offer everyone but Lillard and CJ (and Nurk, because he can't be traded as part of a package) and two or three picks. Why not? Then we have a mini-Golden State scenario and all we need is our Draymond...

    If New Orleans has Cousins, we need to get better to stay in the playoff picture.
    Of these 4 players I would take Milsap, maybe George, the other two are not as good.

    I like hearing this. We have a center now, that people actually want to keep....

    You like Milsap more than Whiteside and Butler? At this point in his career?

    With 3 picks in a strong draft I sure as hell do!

    +3 picks? really? I'd say we're giving up to much. Monta is hot garbage and we'd be doing them a favor.

    I actually think it is reasonable if Indiana's goal was to get young, rebuild and dump Monta.
    The 3 draft picks being the key.
    Vonleh and Harkless are decent young assets. Leonard is really the only obstacle.

    Hmm... I don't see that for Indiana. I mean, rebuild, yeah... but I would think they would get someone who at least could lead them in the rebuild a little bit, and none of those would do it... it would be a clusterfuck IMO

    Forgot they had him! He's bounced around. He's better now!
    Okay fine. Offer Crabbe.
    Okay fine. We're not getting him, are we? Sigh.
    I bet the Lakers could get him if they wanted.

    All right, fine. We're prepared to include Jake "the next Bird" Layman in our Paul George trade. That should clinch it.
