Update on Boston, Indy: Boston hasn't met Indiana's asking price on Paul George, but Nets pick has entered conversation now, sources say.
Wish we could do it for the 18 but if there's not too much on top of it - say Bradley and some lesser stuff - I'd get behind it. George could be a game-changer, and he's won (some) in the playoffs.
I think you need to pull the trigger. If you're signing up players like Horford for big money, you're in win now mode. PG is 26, and will be a stud for at least 5-6 more years. Go for it..
I agree. I'm reluctant to give it up for Butler (though I know he's been better than George this year) but you pull the trigger on the 17 for George, unless they're talking like 3 more good players/picks with it. He could be a game-changer like I said. Can go toe-to-toe with LeBron in the playoffs and sometimes even outplay him. All-Star caliber guys at PG, wing and big, talented role players around them, solid depth. Gotta go for it.
Would love to see 17 BRK/Bradley/a 2nd/salary filler. But I feel like they'd push for one more nice piece like Brown/Crowder/Smart, or to dump a contract on us too.
