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.

Top picks are worth more than players in this new, short contract CBA.  Just too much risk the player walks.

The NBA needs a franchise tag.

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.

and that is why you do not trade the BKN pick for George.

The nice thing about the idea of trading the 17 Brooklyn pick is that it's now impossible to do it without knowing what pick it is  :)

Pretty sure those handshake agreements are no better now than when Carlos Boozer made one with Cleveland.

Sign the extension or not worth giving up much at all, meaning you get what Sac got for Cousins:  crap.

Can't chase him anymore once he bolts...handshake agreement or not.
All you do is tarnish his reputation but at the end of the day you still end up with nothing.

I will not touch PG13 unless he actually signs a contract extension.

There's the star that Indiana has coveted to pair with PG13  :laugh:

In all seriousness, IF Indiana match up with CLE first round, I actually think that would be interesting, especially if PG13 goes off like he has before.

Still think CLE wins but could take it to 6, maybe 7 games.

Cleveland is an awful matchup for the Pacers.  I really can't see that going more than 5 games.

I may be wrong, but I don't think so. He was on the Twolves after the deadline to cut players in time to be playoff eligible.
