Normally I'd say aw heck about the '18 Lakers pick if PG goes to the Lakers but that would mean, like euphronius said, that Ball would be gone at #2 and Josh Jackson, son of Phil Jackson, would be available at #3 and therefore Kristaps Porzingis.

I'd rather trade #2 than Russell, but I'm completely fine trading Russel and #28 for PG

If that trade is real it's a fantastic return on nothing but the ability to pay Paul George more money. Jeff Teague sucks and I heard he hit a gas main with a shovel, and dropped a lantern that ignited the trapped gas, he was sent to an early grave. I wonder if they'll trade his dead bones, it's macabre, but this is business.

You're thinking backwards, fitbit bought out its competitors

Also Disney is sponsoring the Orlando Magic, to make them cornier and stupider than they already are. Jersey sponsorship is a gateway to Hades

That's what I'm hoping for, but this Pacers franchise can't have nice things.

Now I'm seeing this

Rotoworld posted:

Reports around the league indicate that the Lakers are unwilling to part ways with the No. 2 pick in the 2017 NBA draft for PG-13, but they are reportedly willing to offer a package that would include the likes of Jordan Clarkson, Julius Randle and the No. 28 pick. The Lakers will likely be coming in with low-ball offers given that George has made it known that his desire would be to sign with Los Angeles as an unrestricted free agent in 2018, but there is reportedly some fear amongst the Laker execs that his attitude towards Los Angeles could shift if he's traded to a winning team this summer.

In lieu of a patch Orlando should just get Disney to design their jerseys, a-la the Anaheim Ducks back in the day

Also if there is any truth to that rumor that Suns were willing to give up #4 for Love, if I was Indiana I'd much rather have that than D'Angelo Russell. Theres at least a chance of a franchise type player with the #4 while I don't see Russell becoming that sort of player

Trading any core piece for PG seems like a bad idea for LA when you have a fair shot at grabbing him for free in a year and you aren't expecting to win now

Yeah but waiting until next year to sign him would be the Lakers just begging to become the butt of a 'life comes at you fast' meme.

It's gonna be funny watching the lakers just be a mediocre team with Paul George + some dudes for x years. Guess they'd attract some FAs but still
Good for the west too, we could use more fringe playoff teams

He can't be a free agent for three years and that includes the unlikely event where he accepts the QO after the second yeear.

its a bad reason because in 2 years he is a restricted free agent. Unless he want's to sabotage his earning potential he is stuck in New York for a long time

They'd know if he's open to an extension next year.

His trade value is *likely* highest before he becomes a rfa. So the decision is not years away no

They have like 6 years of control over him right now. Trading him because he might not sign a contract AFTER his RFA one seems really dumb. Unless he takes a QO instead of a max contract but literally no one has ever done that. I don't think his value is dropping because I doubt teams are planning on clearing cap for 2023 already.
