No.

If they included DC or Hill, probably. It would be close, But I would probably pull the trigger on that.

i'd jump on collison/george for gordon and laugh my way to the fricking bank

but everyone knows i'm gay for paul george

he's 6-10 with the movement of a 6-6 guy and has a good shot and handle. his defense in the heat series was amazing, too

but, gordon is a 2 and 2s are more rare than 3s right now in the NBA. he's also a bigger scorer, which we desperately need

Yeh, I'm a huge fan of George as well. If you did make a trade involving EG10 for DC & PG then you can set yourself up really well for the draft.

BPA with the first pick (IMO that is Beal not Robinson) then comeback with Perry Jones, Zeller, Sullinger. Or draft TRob with the first pick and come back with Lamb or Rivers or Walters who has been flying up the charts recently

DC
Beal
George
Jones III

Or

DC
Lamb/Rivers/Walters
George
TRob.

Some pretty good, talented young nucleus.

lamb/jj
george/ariza
trob/smith
okafor/smith

or

DC
ariza

trob
okafor

with rivers/JJ to spark off the bench

just so everyone knows, there is like a 1 in 100 chance we even have a shot at george. he's basically untouchable

indy really wants gordon, but they want george more. they'd probably deal george for 10 or fewer current players

I've loved George for awhile now too but I keep waiting for him to put it all together and I don't think he has yet. He's good. But I he has the potential to be great and I haven't seen where he can reach that other gear yet.

I'd have a hard time pulling the trigger just because I know how good EG can be, and we need a scorer like him desperately.

Still, a nucleus of DC, Beal, PG, PJ3 would be talented as hell, and we would almost certainly be in the lottery for at least one more year to add another elite talent.

i think he just needs PT. i don't think that he'll magically become a superstar like tmac did when he became "the guy," but give him a year of solid minutes to get cocky and learn what he can do. it is theoretically possible, though, that he pulls a tmac

yeah i dunno if george will match EGs scoring. he does basically everything else except MAYBE set up teammates better, though

You take George over EG any day of the week. George is 6'10 and can guard 4 positions. EG is 6'4 and injury prone.

George has superstar potential IMHO. Already ELITE on defense.

Maybe before this season, but he just got beasted in the Miami series and was a total no show. You can only bang the potential drum for so long. Gordon is only a year older and way more advanced. Gordon for George is a trade rape for Indy. NO would have to get alot more than just George. It would take some draft picks along with him.

6'10"? I am not sure he will ever develop as well as he was projected/expected. He is good, but not sure he ever becomes a star.

IMO a trade Gordon for George isn't fair. George+2013 and 14 first rounders maybe.

yeah but if everyone is 1.5-2" off then listed height is fine to use to compare players
