If we got PG for #20, #26, and Crabbe, what do we do after that?

Do we trade #15, a 2019, and Harkless for a good PF? Who would we target?

Maybe a sign and trade with Harkless, Leonard, Aminu, and a 2018 1st for Millsap?

Ibaka or Millsap would be perfect, but they're both free agents. :sigh:

Dame
CJ
George
Millsap
Nurk
 
I just don't really get why we wouldnt be in it to get PG. You've got unbiased national media saying our offers would be the best, make most sense. You've got Dame and CJ on multiple occasions saying they want PG. Why not roll the dice? by the time these draft picks are ready to really produce, you'll be worrying about whether to give a 31 year old lillard a 300M dollar contract

Exactly.
 
I'd try Crabbe, Aminu, Ezeli, #15, and #26 for PG + Young.
as well as
#20, Leonard, and Davis to NYK for Kyle O'Quinn, #45.

Then, you use the MLE to get a PF like Amir Johnson

Lillard / McCollum / Napier
McCollum / Turner
George / Harkless
Johnson / Young / Vonleh
Nurkic / O'Quinn /

At the trade deadline you could try to package Harkless, Vonleh, Johnson or Young, and a 2019 1st for a good PF. That might land Millsap or Ibaka depending upon their situations. Young, Harkless, and Vonleh could bring back $32M in salary.

FWIW Batum would be mentioned before Rolo. Also, you have to count the time before Wes was injured since only then were we contenders.
 
Even if that all-star won't stay the night, you still need to do it Olshey.
 
Just listened to the podcast and Lowe did not seem convinced at all that Portland would be able to convince George to re-sign. Arnovitz did, but he has a soft spot for the Blazers.

Haha. Of course, Batum. I was writing that then got interrupted and when I got back an hour later I just hit send. :cheers:
 
George would probably be a one-year rental. For that I might give up our draft picks, but none of our star players.

Don't expect national writers to understand how good Nurkic was for us. He's the X-Factor, but didn't have enough of a sample size for national guys to catch on to the transformation the team had with him in the middle.

If we got PG, it wouldn't be our last move. We'd move all-in to try to win and get him to stay. A sign-and-trade with Millsap or Ibaka would be very possible. A trade for Love would be possible. We'd put more around him.

Can't tell if it'd be enough to keep him or if we'd be able to add that PF to complete a studly starting lineup, but I wouldn't expect national writers to be confident in our chance to keep him because it's national writers..

You are setting yourself up to be dissapointed IMO.

I remember the excitement this time last year. Then....Evan Turner. Never again.
 
A reporter is saying that Paul George's camp are making it clear that George is just a rental. Well. Welcome to the Lamarcus Aldridge situation 2.0, Pacer fans.

The worst case scenario is 3 draft picks which is still better than the last 2 offseasons so the only way I'll be disappointed is if he trades those picks for shitty value.
