Paul George

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.

Firstly I like Butler a whole lot better than George. I could see making a play for Butler but it wouldn't be cheap and it wouldn't be risk free. AND, it might not send the right message to Hayward with Boston now hot on his trail. Paul George is overrated in my book, too much iso ball and tovs. Neither one is worth the inherent risk in my book.
 
What if jimmy is being a malcontent and forcing a trade so Chicago wants to trade him more than you or I know.

Yes, they want to trade him partly due to friction between himself and the FO. It isnt to the point where anyone is forcing a trade.
 
If the Jazz can get him without parting with Gobert, Hayward, Hill or Hood. . . then you absolutely pull that trigger.

A 26 year old All Star player who is strong on both ends of the court is EXACTLY what this team needs. A lineup of Rudy Gobert, Paul George, Gordon Hayward and George Hill can compete right now regardless of who the 5th guy in the lineup is.

I can totally see Indiana trying to move him if they can get a deal they like. As long as a top 5 pick isn't in play, I'm confident that the Jazz can put together a package comparable or better than any other team out there.

The bigger question is if they'll use the deadline to gauge interest in him, play out the season and then move him during the draft like they did with Hill last year.
 
You dont deal for Paul George unless you are convinced he will sign here. Too big of a risk just to get a rental for all those assets.

Yeah, you dont want to trade for PG.

Translation of that tweet: I want that super max money or I want to go home and be a Laker.
