You don't think he'd attract another FA? I do. If we had PG13 right now, I think centers and Vonley would be lining up to join.
Players prefer sure things over the unknown. If we traded for George we'd have to give up the 2nd pick and probably both Randle and Clarkson (although he's a free agent so I don't know how that works). So you're left with George and Russell, maybe Clarkson. Way too many question marks for a potential free agent when there are already established playoff teams that would be closer to contenders. Youre not getting any of the top tier free agents probably could entice Whiteside and a small chance at Horford if he sees potential. But the West is a blood bath and the Lakers would need George and another all star in hand before difference makers could take us seriously.
