May be the reason PG stays in Indy? PG is signed through 2019!! He can't leave...
He's the reason that Paul George can play SF?? It's a coaches decision. They have other bigs.
Miles ahead defensively? How so? Show me the stats that back that up
You're stretching.
YEAH... BECAUSE PG was pissed & wasn't liking pf; he IS signed for a long time for a good contract then/today, THAT's just ONE reason why he'd b so awesome to have; of course, there r a lot of reasons why Indy wouldn't trade him (I never implied he was a FA, THAT should've been a given to u & any1 else).
Miles ahead defensively:

^ these r of course from before the draft BUT notice the "potential" for both these guys is the same? Today, CJ's good but there's not much more he can improve upon; the things that he can work on/those extras will make a big difference, BUT the ceiling on actual change isn't as high vs. Turner currently. Think of it like a runner trying to shave seconds off his time; CJ is trying is @ the point where he's trying to now shave a few seconds off his time, Turner on the other hand, is a fast runner who's trying to shave a minute + seconds off his time.

from the last ^: "Turner has been a revelation since joining the starting lineup at power forward, and
his emergence has allowed Paul George to transfer back to his more natural spot at small forward. In his six starts to date, the rookie is averaging 13.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, and 1.2 assists across 31.2 minutes.
He's been a huge upgrade over the likes of Lavoy Allen and C.J. Miles [Miles isn't a big BTW], who had been previously been splitting the starting role, so look for Turner to continue to occupy a prominent spot on coach Frank Vogel's top unit."
It's obvious you're talking out ur ass & u don't actually watch Indy games, "stretching..." my ass. Show me/us where CJ is better than Turner defensively (any stats show CJ currently
@ best an average defender, Turner ALREADY is better vs. average); u realize the 2 play different positions?
Here, I'll sorta give u 1:
^ @ best (stretching things), u could say that CJ is a better defender vs. Turner based on opponent's fg% while respective player is @ the rim (because they play different positions & the #'s for them r basically the same? Yeah, I said it was a stretch didn't I; I'm not going to buy that) HOWEVER... look @ how MANY more times Turner is around the basket (Turner around the rim while opponents r there
4X'S as much); put CJ @ the rim
4x's more AND then we'll c how much better CJ is vs. Turner.
