I felt equal parts uncomfortable and enthusiastic reading those. On the one hand, I think it's time for us to move forward as an organization and start thinking more about what happens to us after Paul George than attempting to get him to stay. On the other, I love that Lance will just come out and say what others won't.

I've loved Lance from Day 1, he's passionate, outspoken, driven and doesn't back down; he's got a little Westbrook in him.

If PG had a fifth of Lance's attitude, he might be the superstar we all believed he should be at this point. Unfortunately, PG will be no better than a sidekick wherever he lands next. He's too happy-go-lucky to be a killer like Reggie or Jordan was. I'm not piling on because he wants to leave, I've just never thought he had that "IT" factor to become a true star in today's NBA.

I've always tied my cart to players that straddle the line between passionate and insane, and Lance plays with an edge like no one else since Granger, and Artest before him.

PG was a superstar for us. Like every player, he has flaws. Not every superstar looks like Michael Jordan. Some look like Tracy McGrady or Clyde Drexler. Doesn't mean they aren't superstars. He's a top-15 player, arguably top-10. What more do you need to be a superstar? Where is the line?

Lebron
KD
Curry
Harden
Westbrook
Kawhi
AD
Boogie
CP3
Lillard
Isaiah
Kyrie
Giannis
Butler

At what point do you draw the line for "superstar?"

I do agree some stank and an edge helps on a team, but Tim Duncan did just fine letting Stephen Jackson, Bruce Bowen, and others handle that. Attitude doesn't affect performance, only perception. Just because PG doesn't FEEL like a superstar doesn't mean that he isn't a superstar.

A superstar should be able to carry a team past the first round of the playoffs, at the very least avoid getting swept. He's a Robin type of player, really good number two but will never be the best player on an NBA champion. No shame in that, but I was never convinced he would deliver a championship to Indiana.

Did you consider Tracy McGrady not a superstar?
