    How good is Paul George? I think he could change any team into a defense team with his presence. He hasn't been shooting well but even with that he's been one of the most game changing player in the PO so far. Maybe he could team Harden to improve and make up for some of his defense woe's if we were able to get him on the Rockets.

    We have a better chance at getting 98% of the current NBA.

    He's their franchise player. You can't just "get him".

    That guy is outstanding.

    Curry
    Harden
    Durant
    George

    That is the future of the NBA IMO.

    Paul George is where Parsons can be in a few years (in terms of defense and shooting)

    He is a gun and has gone under the radar because of his small market team

    I'd add Kyrie and Lillard to that as well

    Parsons is already a better shooter, George is better at everything else.

    George is Harden's offseason training partner, so if we were ever in a position to afford him, he'd probably be quite willing, but he's not going to be a free agent until at least 2018 (maybe 19)

    Pacertom, would the Pacers trade Paul George for Harden? Should they, if the opportunity arose?

    At this point I don't think they'd do that trade, George got the whole package. World class defense, tall for his position, strong, improves his shooting, extremely athletic, can make plays. One of the best players going into the future.

    I agree, I don't think they do it (or should do it) for the same reasons.

    Pairing him up with Harden is impossible.

    Well, its implied that he's the greatest of all time. That's why he's not on the list.

    Hell yeah he would be, and next to Harden, he would be perfect. That said, there is not a chance he is leaving the Pacers any time soon.
