Paul George to Pistons?

KCP, SJ + a few picks?

He stayed with RJ this offseason and just blasted his team in the press.

That's not going to happen. Not only is it terrible value for the Pacers but they wouldn't trade him in their division.

We'd have to give up a lot more than that for George. George can change a franchise alone so you're looking at KCP, SJ, Ellenson, and probably Harris and a first round pick cuz why not? Pacers can get a lot more value than what we can give them.

You're definitely looking at adding Harris too because the money doesn't work otherwise.

I would give Harris, SJ, and KCP up + a few picks. Hopefully hold on to Henry.

I disagree PG13 can change a franchise on his own.

I believe he's faded after the break 2 or 3 times now. One can argue that's cause he shoulders so much of the load but isn't that what franchise players do?

Maybe my version of a franchise player is different to most but I don't view PG in the same realm as Curry, Durant, Lebron, Westbrook, Harden.

George is a difficult guy to build around as he wants the ball in his hands so you need a quasi-SG at PG...and you need bigs to space the floor for his drives but defensively they gotta protect the paint too

IF he was to be traded it's not to a division rival anyway IMO.

Poor form blowing up so early in the season too: new coach, 3 new starters (1 of them the point guard), new bench big...

I believe I stated it wasn't a slam dunk simply due to all the new pieces

I like Harris but no, PG is a great defender to go along with being a better offensive player.

Can be. I'll give you the defensive side, and even the offense right now. But I'd personally rather hold onto the still developing 23 year old SF, AND KCP if that's what it takes to get PG13. Just my humble opinion.
