Everything Stevens said about Paul George is true. It does not mean that he is better than Brown.  More complementary is not the same as better.  They have to make up for that with the picks.  And maybe what they get if they trade George.

They suggestion that he is one of the most impactful players when it comes to winning isn't only not true, it's laughable. I don't care what analytics say, guys need to be on the court to impact winning.

I agree with you that guys need to be on the court to impact winning, however, the number of games needed is a subjective point....remember KP missed lots of games but had an impact on winning.  Also, a minor point, Brad did not say George is one of the most impactful players, he said said George is one of the more impactful players.  I believe if George can stay healthy, a big if, the Cs should have a good season and, who knows, maybe make it to the finals again.  I am approaching this season with a positive outlook...

What is the definition of "one of the more impactful" players?  What percentile?

The past two seasons George has *combined* for 3.5 win shares total.  That's less than Walsh or Scheierman gave last year alone.

It's just a stupid thing to say, and it's not true.
