Like McNamara has said...Sure George has "made comments" about wanting the Lakers but they are still years away...have him come to NOLA with AD & Boogie and win and build chemistry and camaraderie and make him see the potential for a championship.
But at what cost do we take this risk? Do we mortgage our future like Brooklyn did for a guy that could easily not resign next year? Because that's probably the only way we out-bid other teams.
Also, if we signed Jrue and traded for George, There's no way we could afford to resign Boogie and George assuming they both wanted to resign right? So does going after George mean we let Jrue walk

I'd say so, that's why I'd want to still S&T Jrue for a Rubio who would be half the cost and half the commitment.
You also stretch Asik to open up room for the future.
If the George experiment fails and he and Boogie bolt you still have the ultimate reset button in AD. You move him for a ton of picks and you kick start your next rebuild.

AD and Boogie and Solo need to be flying out to where ever PG is and having a long friendly chat.
Demps can drive. But don't get out the Ford Explorer. Demps seems like a Ford Explorer guy.

Yes. What Paul George really costs you is the assets you'd need to move contracts and create cap space for when Jimmy Butler is a FA in a few years. So would you rather make a sales pitch to Paul George for an entire year, or have the ability to hope Jimmy Butler will choose you in FA?
