Would you give up picks and Moore for a half season rental of Paul George?

I can't imagine any scenario in which OKC takes Asik but just Ajinca/Moore puts you into the tax. However
Rondo/Nelson
Holiday/Clark
Paul George/Hill/Miller
AD/Dante
DC
There's a huge amount of AD/DC derailing risk in this kind of trade, but if George stays and Benson pays the tax, that's a contender that gets the top shelf vet min FAs.

OKC stays terrible. George is definitely going to LA. We send AA, Ajinca, and more pick(s) to get him and then try to sell him in summer to stay
What???!!!!!

At this point I'd settle for a competent back-up big so AD and Boogie aren't playing a million minutes.
But that's intriguing for sure.

not your scenario, i know, but i'll ask:
why would OKC want extra salary for a corpse and a rotation player? what pick(s) are the Pels sending?
i dont really see why the Pels do that if the chance of George staying is minimal. so he comes on, maybe you win a couple of playoff games, even a series depending on matchup. if he leaves, Cousins and Davis both look at the roster/barren asset cupboard and say "that was as good as it will be here" then what?

I guess you have to at least consider it. He would be a on a roster that has two legit superstars in their prime in addition to him. He's literally a perfect piece for this team.

George would go from probably the worst possible scenario for him (Westbrook the ball dominant guard and Melo the offensive black hole) to quite possibly getting to be the Point Forward in this offense.
This will never happen. George would 100% leave in free agency, which might actually hurt our chances of Cousins staying. But what a pipe dream.

I agree. I think he meant Asik instead of AA or Ajinca, but I don't see why OKC would take Asik. Maybe one of the 1sts and Asik goes to Phoenix for Dudley who goes to OKC?

I think that's really underselling the impact George could have.
Holiday
Hill
George
AD
DC
I'm not sure if Golden State has ever seen anything close to that defending them. But with Holiday going off the rails on offense and Hill being Hill, AD/DC might have to score 45 each to win.

I would jizz all over my keyboard... but it also seems like a pipe dream that has probably absolutely no chance of happening. I don't really know enough of how these things work to say definitively though.

And obviously, if you have any chance of pulling off the deal, you have to talk to PG's agent and gauge just how committed they are to him being a Laker next year. If they 100% straight shoot you that he's never, under any circumstances going to re-sign, and you believe its not a bluff, obviously you don't make any kind of deal unless it is dirt cheap.

on paper that's a potential headache for the Warriors.
not too sure it would come together so quickly that they become a title contender or beat the Warriors. but, for the sake of argument, let's say they give Golden State a tough 6 game series.
is that really enough to convince George, who has been rumored to want to go to LA for over a year, to stay? especially if LeBron is thinking LA too?
i'm not against just going for something like this, but there has to be some accounting for what happens if George does finally get to LA.

Oh man that is a dream but for it to be feasible
OKC stays bad via injury/chemistry
Pels are in a battle for top 4 seed
Moore shoots low 40s from 3
Alexis comes back and plays the best he's ever played.
But even then I'd rather stay put because if those guys played well it'd eliminate the need to make the trade in the first place.

There's also the Jrue makes too much money problem. If AD signs his extension and George gets a max then 2 years from now you're looking at AD making about $36 , Cousins and George making about $32 and Holiday making $26. That's $126 million so you're probably over the tax already with just those 4 players. You'd need to dump Hill and fill out the roster with a bunch of minimum and near minimum players. This definitely seems like a pipe dream scenario on so many levels.

Would be cool, although I wouldn't like PG attempting to recruit the likes of Boogie Cousins to Los Angeles

I do not understand trading away any draft picks. They are by far the greatest bargain in the league. Plus there is always the possibility of finding gem or a late bloomer. This team should have 6-8 guys on rookie deals. It only has 2 and neither are contibutors. We should be looking at ways to add cheap young talent, not pick up overvalued vets..

For the sake of this exercise, Paul George is not an overvalued vet. Paul George is exactly what we need; an elite defender, very good scorer, and good playmaker at the wing position who fits in with the ages of Boogie and Davis.
I don't see any way that this is possible, but you absolutely trade a 15-25 pick for Paul Gorge.

Yeah, the Warriors won their first championship with 3 stars all drafted by them. Same with the Spurs. What contender are you talking about?
Posted on 11/9/17 at 1:58 pm to TigerinATL
If you get the chance, you MUST. Even if he is gone. So what - you dump some salaries and have changed your culture and the way you are viewed around the league in all likelihood.
They could get to the 2nd round, and even the WCF if things break right. Then, you dare him to leave to go play with an aging Lebron with 50,000 miles on his tires and that scrub Lonzo. Meanwhile, Pels get to tell AD and Boogie they will always be all in on winning
