    All this aging veteran talk makes me want to puke. For the love of god, please don’t give up assets for injury guys in the twilight of their careers.

    No ****.

    This would have been a big deal 5 years ago ….Harden, Paul, Gordon, Arica… and Paul George? That will beat the Warriors…

    Now? Zero interest in a 33 year old Paul George. Maybe we can coax Nash and Kobe out of retirement and get something done.

    So what you're all telling me is that Paul George has fresh legs.

    I don't doubt that the Rockets are interested. I think people forget that Rafael is on the clock. It's in his best interest to accelerate the rebuild. You guys are thinking as fans, he's probably thinking as someone who wants to save his job.

    Clippers is asking the Blazers and us because they are in need of a point guard, they want either Scoot or Amen. Not the 4th pick, but I would give up Martin, Tate, KPJ and two 2 FRP. I think he is better than Harden. PG can still play defense, provide leadership and hit game winning shots.

    Clippers are trying to get rid of the contract….he is a Star?….it’s only for two years. We were thinking about giving Harden that type of money for two years.

    PG, Green and Sengun would mean playoff. If we can get Brook Lopez for 20 million?

    LET STONE DO HIS THING

    Stone should pretend he's interested just to see who West wants.

    As @Caesar mentioned West really has an amazing eye at spotting talent and anyone he wants on his team is someone you should consider keeping.

    I see similar value as Beal... largely a contract dump...

    KPJ, 20, and Tate seems fair to me...

    Sure, he's got a year or 2 left, but he may make our young guys better in that time... would want another piece with him though...

    Not my favorite option but I could buy into it if nothing better out there.

    Since the COVID year, 30+ years old PG has played 141 out of 246 possible regular season games with the Clips. That's about 57% of the time he's in uniform.

    And he missed all 5 playoff games this year.

    Seriously, I'd rather do that Zion deal. At least his injuries aren't age-related and guaranteed to get worse with time.

    It’s never a good idea to mortgage our future on an ageing star, unless you already have a competitive squad.

    But what if West knows this and asks for someone else knowing the Rockets will decline and offer the guy he really wants?
