Rockets Continue To Pursue Trade For Paul George 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Jun 22, 2017 10:54 pm

The Houston Rockets are in pursuit of a trade for Paul George.


The Indiana Pacers would like to trade George as he enters the final season of his contract.


George would prefer a trade to the Los Angeles Lakers, but the Rockets could attempt to convince him to re-sign with their team or flip him before the trade deadline.

Looks like the Lakers will have to give up 2nd or Ingram. Rockets roster pieces are so much more valuable then anything the lakers can put together. Not good news for magic

A Harden/George combo in a D'Antoni offense could be absolutely amazing.

Jeanie Buss would love for Rockets to trade for Paul George so they can poach him in the summer like Morey did with Dwight 4 years ago.
