Paul George is the best player we could acquire over the next few years. Take the risk if you dont loose much

? Seems weird to me, given that I don't see any clear evidence he's the best player we could acquire this summer:
Player WS OBPM DBPM BPM VORP PER Cost
Paul George 7.1 3.1 -0.3 2.8 3.2 20.2 Assets
Jimmy Butler 13.8 5.8 1.1 6.9 6.3 25.1 Assets
Gordon Hayward 10.4 4.2 0.0 4.2 4.0 22.2 Cash
Blake Griffin 7.7 3.2 1.3 4.4 3.4 22.6 Cash
The next several years? Who knows who or what shakes out. I personally think we should look to the high lottery for most of our premier talent though.
I'll say this though: Paul George *looks* phenomenal playing basketball. Like the idea basketball player. But I don't see any reason to get hung up on feeling we need to acquire him.

Im talking talent. He is better than Hayward, Griffin, and Butler.
We don't need him. But this is too good an opportunity to test out. At least make an offer.

I promise you I love rhetorical flare and the contemplation of the mysteries of the cosmos, but Paul George is like the least clutch guy out there and repeatedly threw his teammates under the bus in the playoffs. He's cold as ICE in that Gatorade commercial though! 31to6 wrote:Jaqua92 wrote:31to6 wrote:

Well I learned something: formatting a table works for beans on RealGM. Sorry about that! George more talented than Griffin? Healthier, sure. Talent, fit, and potential cost of acquisition? All lean towards Blake for me.
But sure if we could get PG without touching a lottery pick or Jaylen, I'm all for it, and I have no doubt Danny's already put in 6 or 7 bids

Blake is injured every year, I dont trust him
I just hope we can acquire more than 1 star lol
Could also be that Ainge is just scared off by this LA stuff, particularly if Bradley isn't dealt this off-season. Because what we'd give to match in salary, Bradley and Crowder, will essentially be making what George will on a max deal by next off-season when Bradley goes up to the $20M range.CrowderKeg wrote:If we're not in on PG, just shows ownership wants no part of that tax bill (or there's a different target?).
