If the Lakers are actually dumb enough to trade away assets than you do it. If I'm the Lakers I just wait.

George should have just kept his mouth shut and walked as a free agent. It's what Durant would have done.

His trade value just went way up.

Celtics should flip penis head Smart or something for a Paul George rental instead of trading what I'm sure the Bulls would demand be a big haul for Jimmy Butler. At some point if you're Boston you can't keep holding the picks though. There are only so many spaces on a roster and developing multiple lottery picks and trying to compete just isn't realistic. I just hope Hayward stays in Utah.

Man, has a player at PG's level ever had a lower trade value? How many teams will even be willing to pay for a one year rental at this point?

His low value has more to do with the modern day emo athlete's tendency to spill their guts to the world than what PGs actual level is as a player. But since we're on the subject, the people that are trying to say PG is a top ten player are morons. If I'm the Lakers I'm trying to find a better way to spend 32 mil a year. The Pacers won like four less games without him the year he snapped his leg. Not a difference maker.

I wouldn't want PG on my team. He's not a top 10 player but he's acting like one. I hope he ends up in LA....with the Clippers.

I think whoever gets Fox (Phoenix, probably?) is getting a steal and an underrated player. His shooting could use some work but he's underrated, I believe.

I agree. He owned Ball in both games they played against each other.

If he can't shoot threes he's useless. A team needs to at least feel like the potential to develop a shot is there. Nobody wants Elfried Peyton or Michael Carter Williams.

They probably think because he's from Springfield he will take a home town discount.

Since he only plays well about one out of every three games maybe he will take a contract that reflects that.

Sure, but they won't be paying him much. His playmaking ability will age well. I wouldn't pay him more than what he is currently making, that is for sure.

He's going to full on suck very soon. Money doesn't matter to the Wbillionors but a wasted roster spot should. Sign Livingston back up too he regressed this year. Keep the band together, man.
