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

[infection]

So now NY might make porzingis available... this offseason has no chill... pau gasol declines player option and likely takes a smaller deal... they clear space for George Hill who is in SA.

Guys this is going to be a wild few weeks... when it's over I hope DL comes out on top.

The Zinger doesn't get you past GSW. Pass.

I wish we had the resources to get Porz. But we don't or at least ones we will trade.

In a dream world we get both Porz and PG. A lineup of Hill/Exum, Hayward, PG, Porz and Gobert! That team beats GS.

If Boston gets porzingis I think Hayward is gone. FML!

Rumor is phoenix was willing to send the 4th pick for Love... our offer likely gets trumped here. WTH are they doing?

I don't know why either team does that.

I don't know why either team does that.

Only makes sense for the Cavs if they use that 4th pick to land Porzingis, George or Butler IMO.

Sorry... 4th pick would be routed to Chicago for Jimmy Butler.

Still makes no damn sense for the Suns... complete incompetence and impatience.

I think we do, but it has to take some faith from NY.

We trade:
Favors, Hood, Diaw, #24, #30, and the OKC 2018 pick.
for
Porzingis and Noah

But one thing to remember - KP said he probably will play out his contract and look at all options in a couple years. Big risk here...

Not only do they get a bunch of assets, but they also clear off a horrendous contract. Boston won't do that for NY. I bet we would even throw in Lyles.

If Utah is a legit contender than that speaks for itself on getting players to respond. It is only legit risk if you fail IMO.

I'd do all of that in a second... one damn second.

So is it tampering for SA to get their guys to decline player options and then re-sign for less... they are clearly doing so with Gasol and Lee who declined options today.

No, they are their guys. If they got another teams player to do so it is tampering.
