I wasn't that high on PG 1 until I realized how much of a offensive fire power he is, in this playoff series against the Cavs.

Yes, he was basically going toe to toe with Lebron, in his Miami days, but he somehow had a DPOY-Like Hibbert, a swiss army knife verison of Stephenson, and Granger by his side to be his mentor and emotional support.

This guy can really score.

Unfortunately he's still immature, and has shown time and time again that he just isn't built to be a vocal leader. But there's nothing wrong with that. Most people cannot lead their teams, which is why Boston alongside Isaiah Thomas, and Horford makes sense in terms of being able to be the leaders, and help PG13 shine.

I'm not even concerned about the Lakers part.

How many players have said that? LMA said that Lakers was one of his preference, until he blew them off. Howard was dead set on re-signing with the Lakers originally, then opted out.

I mean if you think about how many players were linked to signing with the Lakers, the Lakers would've had one of the most stacked lineups in NBA history.  :angel:

That being said, the trade I'm a little hesistant on... I would need a 100% handshake guarantee before I put any picks like the Nets on board...

George is better than AB and Crowder combined respectively in my opinion.

He said "stacked lineup," not "first-round fodder"

I remember one of my ex close friends was telling me the championship was set in stone when they got an aging Nash, and a malcontent Howard who forced his way out of a good situation, and I just rolled my eyes. (Especially after I saw what they gave up, and what their entire roster looked like.)  ;D ;D ;D

I mean, Paul George can go to the Lakers.

Then spend a few years with mediocre records.

Then even when they get good enough to make the playoffs, will get spanked by the likes of Golden State, San Antonio, Houston, etc.

West is much harder to navigate than the East, especially with Lebron aging. I mean, if PG13 joined one of TOR, WAS, BOS, I think they give Cleveland fits in a playoff series. That's how Lebron had trouble between 2008-2010 when BOS put together a great team.

You can say goodbye to the Paul George saga because he's going to the Lakers.

Do you really believe that?

Good, I wouldn't want him here anyway.  We need good character guys, no more Marcus Smarts/ Ron Artests.

Same thing was said about Derozan, Love, Aldridge, etc., until it didn't happen.

If he wanted to go to LA why not pick the Clippers instead?

That's a good point

Then again, he probably grew up hating Sterling and the team

Let's see... He flips off the fans, vandalizes rookies cars, bullies rookies on the team, starts fights with members of teams, etc etc
Does this not sound like Ron Artest?  Reminiscent of Carl Everett too....

For the life of me, I will never understand the love affair Celtics Nation has with this guy. I think he's a really bad apple.
The day Danny trades him away for peanuts is gonna be a good day for the Shamrock.
