    It's really crazy to me how people think mid range will solve our problems XD

    If George is coming here it's probably an opt-in and trade scenario which means he'd playing under a $20 million contract next season. Then the following season he'd be up for the big max again.

    I am sorry but at the end of the day who can beat the GSW? Lebron or PG???

    I will take Lebron anyway over PG

    PG does interest me at times, but I'm somewhat reluctant to have him as a Rocket. Now if TA re-signs to come off the bench to relieve PG, I'm okay with that. I too realize that it's unrealistic.

    I'm pretty sure no-one here actually believes PG is better than Lebron.

    George is 10 times driver and slasher Ariza is. And it is well known we are unbeatable when Arizas slashing game is on.

    It would be Absolute Gold if OKC only agreed to an opt-n-trade if we picked up Fat Melo and his 20+ million.

    Why would PG ok with this? You know he can get way more on an open market

    Yes our system will create the best midrange shots he'll see in his whole NBA career. Teams have will have to focus all their attention on Harden & CP. The defense will be space around the perimeter leaving the lane wide open. Paul George is a catch & shoot player, which means a simple pump fake will get him the best look you can ask for. Basketball is beautiful game to learn

    I still think money and LA are more important to him. Let's hope CP and Harden can convince him otherwise.

    This reads like an Ancient Aliens headline: "Could The Dream actually be an extra terrestrial, not needing food and water to play NBA basketball at the highest level?!?"

    Could the Rockets aggressively pursue Paul George. Well, yes, maybe.

    Sounds like click bait to me...

    The haters go to point this summer. I've seen this at least 10 times in just one FB sports group alone in the last few days.

    Melo was not a free agent. Lebron and PG are. One thing is not like the other.

    Clutchfans theorists say “yes” and further proof can be found 500 miles away in OKC.
