With the 3rd pick in the 2017 NBA Draft the Boston Celtics select........ Paul George
Something like that, and i'm a happy man. He's not leaving aa team that wins 60+ games and has the coach and FO that we have. That's a [dang] safe bet. Not to mention we can still improve our team around him.
It doesn't matter how many different threads you post that, there's nothing close to a guarantee he'd stay nor is there even a suggestion that he'd be open to negotiating an extension with the right team. he's been very vocal about using his free agency in 2018 to get to the Lakers.
He certainly hasn't been vocal on the record. We have heard no such thing from his own lips, what we have heard him say is that he is committed to winning. We can offer him that and a culture that he has admitted to being jealous of. These are things that are on the record.
I'm trying to will it into being lol. He's the absolute best player we can add right now imo, i'm gonna hold out hope. The goal is to add as much talent as we can, in order to compete with the other 2 teams that we still standing after we were defeated.
A lot of you here and around the NBA world might fear GS and even Lebron's stranglehold on the East, but i don't. The right collection of talent mixed with good coaching could beat them both. I think we have the assets to build that team. Why would i want to watch a youth movement when i know we can add 2 stars this summer and compete with 2 great teams?
I don't want to win a title when GS decline, i want to beat them. With that said, George covering KD in next years Finals, get it done Danny!
