Merged: Who would you give up for Paul George?

Middle Class Man's Kyle Korver with Slightly Better Defense isn't a bad chip to put in the pot.

 

I'm assuming we get PG's bird right if we trade for him...

 

right? DMC anyone?

 

I absolutely get what you are saying but that makes me wonder about the Warriors. People talk about a 4-5 year run of dominance but Steph is going to get a $25 million RAISE to a salary of $36 million and then Durant is a free agent after next year. They are soooooo lucky that their other All-NBA players make less than Allen Crabbe because of great timing on old style contracts. But seriously if the salary cap was $94 million this year and they were at $107 million then how are they going to do it next year much less the year after with Durant?

 

I know you take wins when you can but this is the reason I think it makes sense for us to wait to go all-in for two years from now. At that point GS is going to have to most likely break up their team because of financial reasons. Of course I wouldn't turn down PG or JB for scraps before then but we do need to do the best we can to keep our salaries in check. Especially with rumors that the cap could actually go down in two years. It is also hard to stay patient though. I understand that.

 

gotta get on the bandwagon early!

 

There's no rules-based reason why the Warriors will have to break up the core. Of course, the cost is going to become explosively large, once repeater taxes are factored in, but their ownership seems committed to spending whatever it takes to win. You probably can't keep up $200M payrolls forever, but if there was ever a time to do it, a core that could produce one of the great dynasties in NBA history is probably the time.

 

Agreed. And if he does walk? So what, we gave it a shot and it'll be a fun year. I'm getting too old to bake cakes.

 

Now I know why Larry Legend stepped down.

"You give us Paul George now"

 

Yeah, baby. I could like this post all night long.

 

Whenever I see trade ideas like that I always wonder: what in the heck is the other team going to do with 5 (4) new players? Then again, the Blazers sent out 5 for 1 once upon a time, so who knows.

There is a fundamental flaw with this tweet....

 

Reading is fundamental!

 

It sure is, though that isnt the fundamental skill required to tweet correctly in this instance. Its knowledge of the Blazer's roster, of which does not have one said Paul George on the team. Pretty sure he meant Pacers. Not Blazers...
Do they not have an edit on Twitter? Dude didn't fix that?????

Uggh. So hard to find quality sports journalists anymore....

And I will say this and probably get some hate, but so far this year, I have really liked Quick. I think he has been fair and balanced for the most part and I think.. .as much as we can expect from any journalist, he cares about the teams success and wants the team to do well.
I do not know him from years past and maybe that is the best, but I like that he is a slow talker who seems to think about what he is saying and values choosing the right words/statements.

 

Sounds like Pritch plans on building around him still, not trading him. Take it with a grain of salt, he's not likely going to come out and say "we are done with this guy, we just want what we can get at this point."
