    Lebron or Paul George?

    Looks like we will need to sacrifice Ryan Anderson.

    I always thought PG is the most overated superstar. Anyone have the same thought?

    That's because you think of him as a superstar. He is not.

    He is the perfect 3rd star to keep things tidy on offense and defense.

    For us he is gold. High % 3 point shooter and one of the best perimeter defenders who can switch on screens and still hold his own.

    That's the recipe to beat the Warriors and he is as good as it gets as an ingredient for the system we run.

    If they'd be able to include Ryno in the deal, that would probably be most ideal. It would almost guarantee that EG would have to be included too.

    On paper, it looks like a terrible trade for OKC, but it would allow Melo to move back to the 3, you can start EG in place of Roberson or even have EG play the 6th man role there. This gives more freedom back to Russ, but also gives him couple more shooters in Ryno and EG who dont need the ball in their hands to be productive.

    The big plus for OKC in this trade... they'd be getting ROAD RYNO for at least 80 games!

    Orlando hasn't won with AG as focal point. And he is not a true number 1 option plus he plays same position as Jonathan Isaac, the next Durant.

    Not sure Orlando is willing to pay big $$ for 2 guys who naturally play the 4. They have shopped him recently.

    Paul George at one point was top 5 player in the league

    He's definitely top 10 for sure

    The Cavs traded Kyrie to the Celtics, to the Celtics! Stranger things... The only hope is that they would prefer getting back assets to just letting him walk to any team he prefers for free. A long shot for both George and LeBron I understand, but I much prefer George. So we get LeBron next season, win the title, now the narrative is that Harden and CP3 couldn't do it without one of the best players in history? Is that what you really want!? Not me. I'd go ringless before I won rings like the Warriors did with Durant, that's no BS. That's also why no one likes them or Durant, it's about integrity at some point folks. Ask Ray Allen how the old Celtics players feel about him if you don't believe me...

    I agree Gordon’s the ideal player to move from the thunders stand point but for the rockets it would be Ryno. How does Ryno to the Nets for Crabbe plus picks look? He’s not exactly Gordon but does provide 3 and D. Nets have a glut of guards and forwards and Harris is a free agent. I could see the thunder saying no as Crabbes eto next year is ~ 19 mil.

    Lol OP is the biggest LeBron hater on the board. I wonder why he would rather have Paul George?

    Lebron will be the ultimate prize but if we cannot get him, then Paul George will be the consolation prize. He is really good but he is not Lebron. Only thing that he has an advantage over Lebron is "AGE"

    Paul George was never a top 5 player in the NBA, he’s also not top 10 right now

    It’s too bad Paul George past his prime after the injury.

    i remember thinking, before his leg injury, during the olympics(?) there was a clip of pg and beard going 1-on-1 in practice and thinking that pg is better than harden. maybe because harden was still in okc and he was a 6th man, whereas pg was a star in indiana.

    good times.
