Rumor I hear Paul George's name being thrown around

[BigGameDamian]

He might become available, He's a big fan of Damian Lillard this & that.

If the Blazers ever landed this guy I would just be thilled! I think everyone would be thrilled!!
Just want Neil Olshey & Paul Allen to know this guy would be more the welcomed into the city of Portland!

Now, What do you think it would take to get Paul George in a Blazers uniform?

A pickup truck bed filled with anti-psychotic medication?

I'd love PG13 here but I don't think we have the realistic assets to pull off a trade. They'd probably want Leonard/Vonleh+CJ+Draft picks (that we don't have really)

Where exactly do you "hear" his name being thrown around? This is usually where you cite a source or give an example of where you heard it. I highly doubt many GM's or agents are calling you to let you in on the latest goings on.

After reading hundreds of your posts over the years I kinda figured that the George name you hear being thrown around would have been Boy's.

 

[HailBlazers]

Strangely enough my buddy brought this up at the Meet and Greet on Sunday. Think PG13 would be an excellent fit. The scoring wing we've never had.

You're just confusing hearing people say that PG13 movies are about the most SlyPokerDog can understand.




*edited tho we all know what I meant*

Well he's made it clear that he's not comfortable playing the 4 spot and thats what he's being asked to do.

I saw a rumor on the official Blazer forum that Paul George was available, this totally checks out.

this is so damn funny, on so many levels. @SlyPokerDog could you give santeesioux about 300 likes for me?

If we landed him he and Dame would basically be a better version of Porter/Drexler

Oh, well then, why are we questioning you? This makes all the sense in the world.

For $5 I will.

Comcast has honed you to be a nickle and dimer, too, it seems.

For $2 I will answer that.

I guess they told you about the art of the "free trial".

Jackass.

Just do it and put it on mags tab...then claim it as a Trump donation..he'll never know the difference

Bad news, your free trial to post here is now over.

Unless you bundle.

Connaughton/pick/Davis and I'll do the deal. CJ and Meyers aren't being traded. They're Neil's boys.

Thats just dumb!

 

[KingSpeed]

CJ is an All Star caliber talent. (I'd take him over Klay). I guess I could part with Meyers for PG13. Maybe give them Cliff Alexander and Hendo?

 

[HailBlazers]

I don't know but Indy should be blowing it up at this point.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

BGD = Dwight Jaynes.

Goddammit, I knew it!

 

[KingSpeed]

They want PG13 to be PF13 and he's not interested so let's give them a real PF, and we'll take PG13 off of them.

 

[THE HCP]

BGB or whatever his name is, "HEARD" this huh? 26 comments on a topic this guys secret unicorn friend told him in his mom's basement? Denny what has happened to this place? God it's good to be back!

 

[Strenuus]

Thats just dumb!

and if bgd is saying that... woosh

 

[42N8Bounce]

No way this is going to happen, but I guess we can always dream. With Paul George only being 25 years old, he'd be a perfect fit next to Lillard.

What would Indy want? Probably more than the Blazers could offer. They'll want a few draft picks. We don't have a first rounder to give away for a few years with ours being tied up with Denver (thanks Afflalo!). Indy is light on Bigs, so they'll want at least one of our young Bigs. They would also probably be looking for additional young wing help considering they're sending out George.

With this trade the Blazers would also be absorbing $7M of salary. Not that Indy needs much CAP room. They're only $2M over the CAP.

I'd hate to see some of these guys go, but betting on George over potential is a safe bet.

Here's a discussion from August 26th, 2015 where a Suns site discusses potential trade options for George:

And here's a responding article from a Pacers site, essentially laughing off the idea of trading George:
