    PG13 is a clear upgrade over Brooks. I actually think he would be a solid vet “star” to bring over if the organization is that hell bent on a big name

    FVV, PG13, Adam’s is a really strong vet group and I bet George would willingly come off the bench in 2 years

    I don’t trust Tilman after the whole Russ trade. Dude is impulsive in the worse way.

    I hope they do. They will be screwed after they sign Maxey to the max and be the next LAC.

    Could a team still acquire PG via S&T? Asking for a friend NOT named Hilman Fratatta

    I wouldn't want to pay him half of that.

    I can't believe PG13 is only 34. I thought he was around the same age of Durant.

    that Brett Siegel guy is calling PG the best player on the open market when he wasn’t even better than James Harden last year

    not sure PG could survive Philly fans if they turn on him because he’s struggling

    Now that he has opted out, the point is moot for the Rockets.

    I like him a lot and doesn't seem to be on decline. We would win at least 10-15 more games with him. Makes us a playoff team instantly. Brooks and couple picks would be enough to get him here i guess.

    It wouldn't, because he opted out so there's no sign and trade scenarios that get him here at all now.

    How does this really matter at all? Don’t the rockets get to swap the Thunder pick they would have with the Suns pick regardless??

    Slight change. Formula remains the same.

    Instead of saying Paul George I could have said Player X

    _________

    Udoka wants a star player.

    Clutchfans only want 19 y/o.

    Most players that are a happy median are 27 which means player is reaching peak.
    Teams don't want to let go of their prime peak player.
    ____________
    So it's either too young or too old player

    Player X, Y, or Z. Player X (Paul George) just opted out. Insert Player Y or Z

    [ All I'm saying was Paul George was the best option for Rockets]
