Does anyone still want to trade for George/Butler

[MVPPierceNoJoke]

The more I think about it, the more I think Danny is going to pull the trigger on something. If Chris Paul leaves, Boston can surely make a run for Blake. Say he signs Blake.
It is a toss up for me between George and Butler. Talent wise I will take George all day, but the contract situation is very risky. For George, sign and trade Kelly, give up Jaylen Brown, and future first. Brooklyn 18? Maybe Ainge could get George to commit with the talent around
Our line up would look like
IT(for 1 season)/Fultz
Bradley/Smart
George/Crowder
Blake/Mickey
Horford/Zizic
Very skilled offensive team. Potentially a great defensive team. Thoughts?

Geroge brings us closer to,the prize.   When Warriors loose Thompson , maybe , or if Durrants body has more issues ......i don't see KD lasting like LeBron

[BostonClamCrowdah]

Y'all are crazy

Hold on to those kids, because it's gonna be a while

[Chris22]

I would sign George as a free agent, if we could.
I think the new CBA agreement will break up the super teams.

[BostonClamCrowdah]

I enjoy the superteams

It sucks not being one obviously but watching Cleveland and GS go at it until LBJ got tired was great t

I think the problem with this is in order to sign Griffin you need to renounce KO, therefore can't subsequently use him in a S&T for George.

[Onslaught]

Griffin can't stay healthy.

George and Buttler can't get us past Cavs probably.

Warriors will be top team until they can't keep it together.

I was unsure of that. What about this instead? On draft night or before 7-2-17 send Zellar ( non guaranteed ), AB, and the 2018 BROOK pick for George.
Then they could renounce Kelly and sign Griffin.

Do you guys think a healthy Spurs team could beat the Warriors?

If so, we could create a similar system here using Paul George in the Kahwi Leonard role with Brad Stevens' system elevating the talent level on our team.

2018 Nets pick Avery Bradley and fillers is fair for PG in this situation.

Isaiah Thomas
Jae Crowder
Paul George
Jamychal Green
Al Horford

Might be even better than the Spurs especially if we maintain a good bench and Brad Stevens is as good as we think he is.

Crowder can't play SG at all. One of his weaknesses as SF is the lack of first step/speed, so...

So true, TP.

And he can't play PF because he can't rebound worth a [dang].  I like Crowder as a bench player.  He is the perfect guy to come off the bench and lead a 2nd unit and form an identity.  He can play down the stretch because he isn't a defensive liability and he can hit 3's.  He just not a starter IMO.

[mctyson]

After watching these finals?

Not even sure George/Butler gets us to 6 or 7 against Cleveland, and Cleveland can't even hang with GoldenState

You'd be nutty to still want to trade the picks/brown for anyone older than 24 or so.

No.  I would take a flier on George at the deadline next year if they have the contracts to dump/match and Indy is desperate.  Maybe you can surprise Cleveland in the ECF and George decides to stick around, maybe he doesn't.

Defensively he should be fine though and Paul George could operate more like the SG on offense anyways + HE can definitely defend 2s in this league.

I think Jae would be fine in that starting unit.  Hopefully Jaylen Brown leap frogs Jae this year. Jaylen was awesome as a starting shooting guard this year.

Celtics have no chance to be better than Cleveland or GS in the next 5 years so trading away picks for guys like George or butler would be devastating
