Zach Lowe: Paul George would love to play with Gordon Hayward

With Gobert, Hayward and George, Utah can have an outside shot at GS.

With Gobert, Hayward and Love, Utah is really good but would have the same result as this year, i.e. getting swept by GS every year.

PG gives Utah a shot at pushing GS.

Give me a shot at greatness.

I see it the same way. With Love we'd be fighting with SA/Hou/GS for the next 2 (or 3) years. Ultimately I feel like SA and certainly GS will be better than us.

With PG then only GS is better. We're the second best team in the West and probably NBA. I'd like that even if it was only for a year.

Again, hopefully lady luck smiles over the Jazz in that PG scenario.

Honestly, I think I'm on this mindset as well. Though I don't think it should or would take Favors, Hood and MULTIPLE firsts. Is that what people are saying? I skipped to the end.

Indy is asking for a starter and two firsts.

You'd like it for taht year, but then would be pissed when Hayward and George leave the next year and the Jazz blew future picks to get George.
 
Let's say Utah has two options: 1 is get Love for two years (maybe three) or 2 is get PG for one year, maybe more.

Love gets Utah to a top 3-4, maybe 2 team in the West. Not bad. But, we will be destroyed by GS. The matchups sucks too much.

PG helps Utah matchup. If you get Hill back and/or Exum gets his defense back, look at the matchups:

Steph vs Hill
Durrant vs Hayward
Thompson vs George
Green vs Gobert

We could shut down Green and possibly Thompson. Then it boils down to Hayward and George vs Durrant and Curry. Now, Durrant and Curry are better, but we'd be the second best team in the West.

So, we meet up with GS in the WCF's. We push them to 6 games, maybe 7.

We can pay George more than anyone. We'd be the clear #2 in the West, maybe the NBA. PLUS, GS would be on the verge of losing Thompson.

If you are George, you can stay with Utah, make more money, have more wins, play with Gobert (who doesn't steal your shots) and Hayward, and you are a sprained ankle away from a trip to the finals. Oh, and you are only 90 mins away from LA.

OR

You go to LA, and be in the same situation as Indy, but in LA (which is better).

I'd take that risk if I was Utah. Winning does things to people. Go win.

You're right, that would really suck.

But it would be the best opportunity to get a ring outside of Stockton/Malone.

Can't say the same thing with Love.

It's worth it, IMO.

I loved the Deron years. That is what Love would give us. Like you, I want more. Even if for one year.

And guess what? If Hayward and George leave, then you are in the same spot as right now, you can either try to build around Gobert or blow it up and start over.

But, at least we would have had one great year. That is what I want.
 
It's only 3 if love sucks or is hurt... ifnot he opts out may get less per year but will surely lock in a longer deal.

Stitches is correctly reading tea leaves... no crystal ball needed.

You realize if the Jazz add Love or George they are still an underdog to the Warriors, right?
