    That would be incredibly stupid to mortgage your future for PG13

    This is the type of rumor that scares the crap out of me. The move to short circuit our organic rebuild in favor of.....SUPERFRIENDS. My biggest fear...

    NO NO NO

    Would be way better than Harden that's for sure

    My preference is still to trade for Scoot and/or build around Green/Smith (maybe Sengun) as if they're going to be stars. Get the most out of them. But, I don't think getting George stops us from that.

    Whichever one of our young players Jerry West is trying to get. Dont do it. The logo is the goat. If he wants someone, that someone is special.

    Not if we have to trade our assets and young prospects to get him

    I kind of like the idea of getting PG because he has a PO that he probably exercises after next year.

    I just wouldn't mortgage the future.

    #4, KPJ, Tate, other pieces in a three-team deal? That's the most I'd offer.

    Aren't harden and pg boys from la? It's probably a move to pair them or pg with kyrie. I just dont see how LAC do this without also trading kawhi and rebuilding. Makes no sense.

    Yeah, I revised my original post after I sent it. I don't want to give up Green/Smith... or really Sengun/Tari for that matter

    If Sengun feels like he has a better shot at a title with George beside him then so be it.... But thy only get one young star, preferably Tari or KMJ....

    Paul George wants to stay in Rockets? It makes no sense.

    George and Green already have a great relationship and Smith could learn a ton from George on how much he developed over the years. You're talking about a guy who wasn't a top 5 pick, who worked his way to be the best player on his team (Indiana teams were fairly good), but has been humbled a bit. Ended up having what could've been a career-ending injury but stayed professional and worked his ass off to stay a top 20 player in the league.

    Dudes 33 and injury prone

    To me he isn’t worth more than 2-3 Brooklyn picks + KMJ

    I want him more than Cam now though
