Paul George

[Isaiah 1:13]

Because they could only get 1. If they could get Paul George or Jimmy Butler they would. You work with the cards you are dealt. If the cards you are dealt can get you Butler/George, then go for it (though I wouldn't go for it on George because it's too risky he wouldnt sign here).

Not worth decimating our roster for. Let the Lakers and Celtics do that. The Celts have the assets in draft picks and it gets the former college coach off our back trying to pry Hayward away. The Lakers would only destroy their young roster for some star quality.

Chicago is in no rush to trade him. Do you not get that? He is only available if someone can offer a top draft pick ,like Boston can. IDK why it's hard for you to understand that 1 five star asset >>>> a bunch of ok assets.

The Bulls arent looking to trade Jimmy for anything less than a top 3 pick.

What if jimmy is being a malcontent and forcing a trade so Chicago wants to trade him more than you or I know.

 

[fishonjazz]

Disagree there. There is a lot of pressure on Boston to make this trade. Look at Cleveland w/ Love having injury issues this year. There is a window to take advantage of Cleveland this year, getting home-court advantage and beating them in the playoffs.

But their pg is 5 foot 9 doe. Which means that they can't win anything anyway right?

 

[fishonjazz]

I really don't understand all this interest in small forwards (George, Butler). We have a pretty good one in Gordon Hayward, remember him? Are we assuming he's going to leave, already? Let Boston get Butler and forget about Hayward. Let the Lakers take George and decimate their assets in doing so. I don't want the guy that helped run Hill out of town.

Well, hayward can play the 2, 3, or even 4. Butler can play the 2 or 3. George can play the 3 or 4.

Just cause you get George or jimmy doesn't mean you have to lose hayward.

George can also play the 2.

I'd rather have Hayward. There was some mention in the preseason of PG playing some 4. That experiment must not have gone so well. I don't know if Hayward could guard quicker 2's now that he's irradiated himself with gamma rays.

Correct, but that was last season. They moved him to the 4 spot in the pre-season and into the early season, and he bitched and moaned endlessly about it, with some justification as it just didn't work. They moved him back to the 3 fairly early in the season.

And you have pointed out the elephant in the room - you can't play George and Hayward at the same time because they can only play the 3. Which basically means you can't have them on the same team.
