The Pursuit of Paul George

It must be fun for Kevin Love getting peddled to every team in the NBA just to make this PG three-teamer thing happen.

If we somehow land 2 of Griffin/PG/Hayward (Hayward is already a lock) then it's fine... but if we don't and PG goes to Cleveland i'll be so pissed.

That's a big if. I'm preparing for a big zero in the fireworks front.

We'll know pretty quick here. But we don't need George for this summer to be another big step up.

If he would have signed in BOS instead of being third fiddle to LBJ and Kyrie then he wouldn't be in the situation.

And what kinda blanket you feeling on Hayward?

If the Pacers don't take our offer and it's the best offer available, I'm starting to think teams legitimately hate us.

Hayward is a lock. Maybe we could go after Griffin?

Players get a lot of hate for no reason. Durant and Lebron leave their teams and get a tonne of hate, yet management trades away players like nothing, seems like the expectation of loyalty is a one way street.

Throw in a couple of firsts. Does Indy do that? They probably ask for Hernangomez and Murray, Nuggets say no.

Is that better or worse than Crowder/Zeller/Rozier/LAC 1st/BOS 1st?

I can't believe Denver is actually willing to trade that much for Love... like that's a lot of their core.

This really is true. A player decides to leave your team and possibly make more or form a better team and fans are emotional. If a team wants to trade a player to improve the team, that is just good business.

Love is still a star. They won't contend but that's an easy sell to fans. Mudiay hasn't done anything up to this point. If they've given up on him, that package doesn't hurt much.

They still have Murray-Beasley-Jokic-Hernangomez-Plumlee-Chandler-Lyles and whoever they drafted recently. If Gallo re-signs, they can compete for the 6th-8th spots lol.

It's an old dug-up rumor. No new meat to it. Cavs beat writer even said there's nothing serious going on at the moment. We probably don't hear anything juicy until 1st week of July.

Wait what happened?

Can someone tell me LBF's credential? Is he an insider?

Is the George thing really dead now? Wtf why?

I do find it funny you're essentially killing it on a Sunday night if you are infact reporting. Does the Marc Stein report about the 3-way have legs after all? Is it gonna be basically announced Monday morning or something?
