DL is also much smarter than King
Which is why he isn't going to mortgage our future for a one year rental.

Cool, ignore the other points.Which is why he isn't going to mortgage our future for a one year rental.
Trading away a ton of assets for one year of Paul George is the type of short-sighted thinking that landed the Brooklyn Nets in the mess they're currently in.
You know you dont jump blind into these things right? You can request permission to talk with the player and his agent to see if they would have any interest under any scenario to sign long-term with the team. If he flat out says no to Utah, then you dont trade for him.
If he says "Yeah, I would sign in Utah if we proved we can compete with GSW" then yeah, you try and get a trade done. I doubt PG is giving that kind of assurance to anyone though, even one as vague as that.
Pretty terrible comparison... they gave away multiple unprotected picks for guys way past their prime... many teams have benefitted from trading future assets for win now pieces. GSW being one of them... Cleveland another.

In neither of those cases were those one-year rentals. Talk about a terrible comparison.
I ignored your other points because they were irrelevant. Us having more assets after a hypothetical trade than what Brooklyn had is irrelevant; it's short-sighted thinking that will screw us for every year after 2018. All for a one-year window against possibly the greatest team of all time.
Words to the public are different than agents speaking candidly. He said he was a Pacer because he was at a charity event in Indy.He said two weeks ago he's a pacer and not going anywhere... unless he absolutely did not want to be here for a year he'd give us the assurance if we were a championship team he'd stay. It's just words. Not guaranteeing anything.
Love hadn't signed... Iggy didn't clearly put that team over the top. We are talking about late first rounders and favs or Hood... guys that can't stay healthy. Cleveland traded two firsts to rent mozgov... this is nowhere near the same amount of risk as trading five unprotected 1sts which BKN did over 2-3 years.
How does 2018 and beyond look when Hayward leaves?
He literally said he is going to LA, its more than a link.He's linked with LAL obviously but stars like PG are rare. IMO he's the 2nd best player in the EC. GH-Gobert-PG is a championship caliber team.
You have a crystal ball?
PG just said he plans on opting out to join Lakers...Then PG13 has 2 years on his contract, because you don't have a crystal ball and his second year is the same as Love's third year - player option.
The point is you have control for just 1 year more. You can still choose 2 years of Love instead of 1 year of PG13, but come on... lets have at least some honesty here.
