    Bottom line, he’s playing well... and we needed that from him for his price tag. I almost would like to see him get more looks in the post with our second unit, but that’s arm chair coaching.

    He gets a lot of those looks already.

    Also, it depends on how tall his opponent is. He's deadly in the post when they make the mistake of putting a shorter guy on him.

    We have no way of getting Paul George, because he doesn't have the ability to opt-in and be traded, and OKC aint gonna sign-and-trade him to a divisional rival.

    I believe we are about 1,830 miles away from the NBA elite, as the crow flies.

    While I agree we aren't getting George, he does actually have a player option for next year. The problem is that it is for $10 million less than he can get on a max deal if he opts out.

    I would probably accept a Melo trade if it was for Turner and Leonard. Melo's contract ends a year sooner.
