So, I guess Paul George just went off on his team again when Minny came to town and beat them.
He is as good as traded this summer, right? That locker room is toxic right now. We might be able to legitimately get him for not much more than the Brooklyn pick at this point.
why would you trade the Brooklyn pick for George?
No guarantee that the pick is ever as good as George, and you're not getting him without including it. Obviously he'd have to give a "handshake agreement" about resigning, like Love did with Cleveland. But it's not crazy to suggest trading the pick for him. He's a perfect fit in Brad's system.
That being said, I'm not sure that I'd do that trade if we have a shot at Fultz. I think that kid will be elite. He has Lillard-like offensive potential, while also having all of the tools to be an elite defensive player, too.
