Furthermore, Luke should tell FO to sign Paul George without losing any of our core youngs. Think green font.

I'll regret this statement later on if Russell / Randle or Clarkson become all stars...but I'd trade everyone not named Ingram/Zubac to make that trade.

I think Russell, Randle, and Mozgov could get that done. We'd just need to be able to convince PG that we could turn the franchise into contenders after losing those assets.... :banghead:

I like Paul George and I'd trade some of our younger players for him. It wouldn't bother me a bit if they became all stars either. Over the next 10 years a 80 different players will be all stars. Not all of them are difference makers however. In fact a lot of them aren't.

I'm sorry, but I see no scenario in which PG13 is traded. Bird will lose him in FA before trading him.

On topic, it's simple for Luke. Get through the rest of the season with no major injuries, continue to develop the youngsters and prioritize their minutes, and remain positive and cerebral in his approach.

The real pressure is on our front office. We cannot sit still at the deadline.

Green font used to mean someone is being sarcastic, trying to be funny.

I would love PG13 here, but I see no way of that happening until he's a FA.
