    Ibaka is going to get paid at the same level of George. Adding Ibaka has the same cost in terms of salary we need to dump.

    George, meanwhile, finds himself at an interesting crossroads here.

    Hell-bent as he is on signing with the Lakers, George - according to a person with knowledge of his situation - is also the kind of prudent professional who won’t close a window of opportunity prematurely. So if the Cavs can convince Pritchard to either take on four-time All-Star forward Kevin Love or send him to a third team in exchange for more suitable assets, then George will play his heart out alongside LeBron James and remain open to the idea of re-signing next summer if James were also to return (or, perhaps, George could leave for Los Angeles with James at his side).

    Ditto for the Celtics or the San Antonio Spurs, teams that could fulfill George’s desire for title contention and thus put themselves in the running. And should the Lakers come along and trade for him early to ensure he doesn’t fall in love with another team, then so be it. The person spoke with USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the situation.

    Don't know if the 790 guys are joking but paul george has been seen in houston yesterday. I hope they're not confusing him with boy george.
    Gordon or Ryan "I can't shoot at home because of depth perception is a real thing" Anderson + clint easily get this deal done.
    I don't see who can top it. Maybe boston if they offer their lotto pick.

    He was at IAH yesterday, most likely because he was heading to LA from Puerto Rico and had a holdover in Houston.

    Melo's not getting bought out. Don't have enough assets for both.

    Let's hope is Paul George - not sure if we are going to be able to withstand the defensive downgrade of Melo at the 3 however if he were to play the 4, that's a whole other level. BTW, with Phil out, who does Morey even call to trade with the Knicks? If Dolan is running things temporarily, I hope Morey gets into discussions with him for Kristpaps at the 4/5.

    They still have Steve Mills there who was the actual GM. Phil was just the President.

    Dolan isn't running anything and we're not getting KP.

    Get both??

    P.G. - Chris Paul
    S.G. - James Harden
    S.F. - Paul George
    P.F. - Carmelo Anthony
    ..C. - Nene

    Are the basketball God's this kind?? Seems like a major stretch, but hey, look at Golden State.

    Gotcha....you never know with the Knicks. I always assume the most dysfunction possible and mostly I'm right.

    Whatever....I'm a lifelong Rockets fan and I saw Draymond Green in Tulum, Mexico last week. Must mean he is leaving the Warriors to play in Mexico.

    I'll just say that whether or no we get PG, it's a rare and beautiful day to be a rockets fan. We are closer to contending than we were yesterday. Hats off to DM
