Spurs Emerge as Suiters for Paul George

[buttsR4rebounding]

According to StevenKylerNBA

Sorry, I am not very good at embedding links.

[TheGreatYacht]

:lmao at those losers Mike Monroe and Jeff McDonald saying the Spurs won't do try to do big moves according to their "sources"

[Chinook]

Thanks for making this thread. I was wondering how long we were going to go as we were.

[eDizzle20]

Do it

[tonight...you]

:lmao at those losers Mike Monroe and Jeff McDonald saying the Spurs won't do try to do big moves according to their "sources"
Lol... they're so keyed in. Damn. If I was their editor...

[DAF86]

Pretty please let this happen. This is my biggest wet dream of the offseason.

A Kawhi-George duo would be deadly. Our biggest chance vs a Kevin Durant led Warriors.

[Joseph Kony]

:lmao at those losers Mike Monroe and Jeff McDonald saying the Spurs won't do try to do big moves according to their "sources"
DMC was also saying Spurs don't go after big name players and would likely return the same team next year :lol

[DAF86]

Seriously, Spurs should throw the kitchen sink at trying to get George. Everybody but Kawhi (and maybe Bertans and Murray) should be available for the Pacers.

Paul George is worth the farm, imo. Him and Kawhi would be special.

[TimDunkem]

:lmao Hollywood Paul George playing in San Antonio :lmaoWould have the choice that first year. Aldridge doesn't want to be here so screw it.

[rastaspur]

I would swap 1 year rentals. Why not. If the spur's can beat the warriors he might stick around and resign.

George coming out and saying he won't resign with pacers and only wants to go to l.a. has made this a possibility. Thanks , p.g.

[DAF86]

:lmao Hollywood Paul George playing in San Antonio :lmao

He wants to be Kawhi's Pippen, imho. Let the man fulfill his dream, I say.

[sasaint]

Seriously, Spurs should throw the kitchen sink at trying to get George. Everybody but Kawhi (and maybe Bertans and Murray) should be available for the Pacers.

No. Send Indy our disgruntled, one-year rental for their disgruntled, one-year rental. They would have a better chance of re-signing LMA than we would have of re-signing PG.

But ST would get really silly if we did trade for Paul George and brought in George Hill to team with Kawhi and Bertans.

:wow

[TheGreatYacht]

DMC was also saying Spurs don't go after big name players and would likely return the same team next year :lol
:lmao....

[Seventyniner]

:lmao Hollywood Paul George playing in San Antonio :lmao

If he's traded here he wouldn't have a choice, at least for the first year. But yeah, him re-signing in SA isn't likely at all. The Spurs getting CP3 and winning a title is probably what it would take.

[DAF86]

Aldridge, a pick and cash. That's a decent package for a guy that you would lose for free, imho.

[HarlemHeat37]

Would have the choice that first year. Aldridge doesn't want to be here so screw it.

I'd take him, but there's no way he's staying in SA..he's extremely arrogant, selfish and flashy, perfect for the Lakers..his idol was Kobe:lol

How is this not in here yet?

[HarlemHeat37]

Paul George would never accept being a sidekick, tbh..not sure if you've followed him, but he's definitely looking to be the main guy on a team..

[TimDunkem]

I'd take him, but there's no way he's staying in SA..he's extremely arrogant, selfish and flashy, perfect for the Lakers..his idol was Kobe:lol
So then you end up with loads of cap space. There are worse fates, tbh.

No. Send Indy our disgruntled, one-year rental for their disgruntled, one-year rental. They would have a better chance of re-signing LMA than we would have of re-signing PG.

:wow

Geroge Hill, Kawhi, Bertans and Paul George all with the Spurs. :lmao

It's already in the Off-season thread.

[NickiRasgo]

Geroge Hill, Kawhi, Bertans and Paul George all with the Spurs. :lmao

Plus Hanga. :lol

[DAF86]

Paul George would never accept being a sidekick, tbh..not sure if you've followed him, but he's definitely looking to be the main guy on a team..

I was obviously kidding, tbh. But apparently he did say he's interested in the Spurs. He has a pretty good relationship with Kawhi. We are the second best team in the league. Let me dream son.

[Joseph Kony]

PG is only a realistic shot because most teams won't trade for him knowing he's leaving...for us it's a win/win if we can land him either way. Worst case we get rid of LMA and free up tons of space next season, best case we get PG long term. cant go wrong tbh :tu

[Captivus]

Paul George would never accept being a sidekick, tbh..not sure if you've followed him, but he's definitely looking to be the main guy on a team..

Isnt he already?

[NASpurs]

Spurs are in a win-now mode, even if it's for a one year rental. Fuck it I say. If he leaves, he also leaves behind cap space.

[Dex]

Paul George would never accept being a sidekick, tbh..not sure if you've followed him, but he's definitely looking to be the main guy on a team..

He could be one of the "main guys"...the new Wade/Lebron.

If George really thinks he is gonna win a title as the lead alpha, he apparently hasn't been paying attention the past 5 years.

[SpurPadre]

Kevin Durant: "George would give the Spurs that star player they've been lacking since TD, Manu, and TP passed their primes and help improve system player Kawhi"

[HarlemHeat37]

I'd take him 100%, Spurs don't have anything to lose, unless some other stupid team is willing to trade a top 5-7 pick for Aldridge..just saying, only way he would ever consider staying is if the Spurs seriously challenge GS in year 1 IMO..

[spurs10]

Spurs are in a win-now mode, even if it's for a one year rental. Fuck it I say. If he leaves, he also leaves behind cap space. Troof!

[DPG21920]

I agree with HH about PG and his desires, but if SA lands PG and CP3 this off season, I think PG *could* stay. Very unlikely, but its possible when you see KD make a name/brand in OKC, Bron make a brand in CLE, etc..

It's possible and PG got big in IND, but none are LA when it comes to THAT side of the business.

[gospursgojas]

What'd be funny if we got g hill and Paul George and keep Bertans. Would be a spurs rape of the pacers. Traded hill for Kawhi and Bertans ended up with hill again AND Paul George.

RC > the ghost of Bird

[Seventyniner]

Plus Hanga. :lol

Wrong guy, Lorbek was the third piece in the Hill/Kawhi trade.

Bringing over Lorbek just for the SAS @ IND game and starting Hill/George/Leonard/Bertans/Lorbek would be the ultimate middle finger.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Kevin Durant: "George would give the Spurs that star player they've been lacking since TD, Manu, and TP passed their primes and help improve system player Kawhi"

lol. Fuck Kevin Durant

[buttsR4rebounding]

Geroge Hill, Kawhi, Bertans and Paul George all with the Spurs. :lmao

When we play in Indy bring in Lorbek for a 10 day and start the 5 of them. Hell, hire Bird as and assistant coach and have him sit on the bench.

[Mr. Body]

He and Leonard could be brutal together.

[DAF86]

PG is only a realistic shot because most teams won't trade for him knowing he's leaving...for us it's a win/win if we can land him either way. Worst case we get rid of LMA and free up tons of space next season, best case we get PG long term. cant go wrong tbh :tu

This, Spurs need to pursue PG13 as hard as they can. Should be the number one priority. Please RC.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The other thing is, Kawhi isn't much of a limelight guy. George could come in and have all the publicity he wants, Leonard wouldn't care.

[NASpurs]

BTW I don't believe any of this. I've gone around and read about the credibility of the guy who originally tweeted this and it's shady as fuck as well as Amico's credibility who later confirmed it.

[sammy]

[rastaspur]

Bringing over Lorbek just for the SAS @ IND game and starting Hill/George/Leonard/Bertans/Lorbek would be the ultimate middle finger.

Not really. The pacers would laugh at us for signing that old p.o.s. lorbek.

That would be like cutting off your middle finger to get to a full starting 5 just to prove no real point at all.

[gospursgojas]

The other thing is, Kawhi isn't much of a limelight guy. George could come in and have all the publicity he wants, Leonard wouldn't care.

Yeah no more fights about who gets to make SACU autograph appearences.

[sammy]

lol. Fuck Kevin Durant

Fuck that ring chaser bitch Durant! He's a system player himself, the jackass!

[buttsR4rebounding]

The other thing is, Kawhi isn't much of a limelight guy. George could come in and have all the publicity he wants, Leonard wouldn't care.

Don't forget the HEB commercials. Can't get those in LA.

[lebomb]

Sounds like a dream come true, but it wont happen.

[rastaspur]

Swap these 1 year rentals and get this done before the draft. All this talk has me wanting to see something get accomplished prior to the draft.

[Mr. Body]

A player of Leonard's size and abilities brutalized the Warriors. Imagine having two of them?

[sasaint]

PG is only a realistic shot because most teams won't trade for him knowing he's leaving...for us it's a win/win if we can land him either way. Worst case we get rid of LMA and free up tons of space next season, best case we get PG long term. cant go wrong tbh :tu

BINGO! :tu

[cd98]

A player of Leonard's size and abilities brutalized the Warriors. Imagine having two of them?

Both can guard Durant or Curry.

[dabom]

Do I owe my boy, MaNu4Tres 50 bucks? :lol

[DAF86]

Both can guard Durant or Curry.

Durant. Curry, Thompson, Draymond, Iguodala. They can both defend any of the Warriors players that can hurt you.

[sasaint]

The other thing is, Kawhi isn't much of a limelight guy. George could come in and have all the publicity he wants, Leonard wouldn't care.

Heck, Kawhi might even be relieved. With Manu and Patty both possibly gone, who else will get and give a good interview?

[baseline bum]

Man if the Spurs could land George how would Chris Paul say no? Though I'm making the assumption they'd only trade for George if he'll sign a max extension here.

[sasaint]

Swap these 1 year rentals and get this done before the draft. All this talk has me wanting to see something get accomplished prior to the draft.

:lol Me, too!

[Mr. Body]

Both can guard Durant or Curry.

I was thinking a much on offense. Kawhi is such a load for them inside the paint.

[Keepin' it real]

He and Leonard could be brutal together.

Yeah, both their ankles could brutally snap in the same game. :wakeup

[sasaint]

Man if the Spurs could land George how would Chris Paul say no? Though I'm making the assumption they'd only trade for George if he'll sign a max extension here.

Might attract more than Paul - nobody in mind, just sayin'.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Pls RC, pls.

[DAF86]

Man if the Spurs could land George how would Chris Paul say no? Though I'm making the assumption they'd only trade for George if he'll sign a max extension here.

Worry about getting him first, then you work on him wanting to stay, imho.

[Mr. Body]

Yeah, both their ankles could brutally snap in the same game. :wakeup

Attractive.

[mudyez]

I know PG13s value isn't that high because of him maybe not resigning. But wouldn't Lakers offer more than us giving them LMA and maybe a lot pick?

I'd take two of Clarkson, Randle, #3 rather than LMA. Hell, I'd probably do it for one of these assets.

[TimDunkem]

I don't think anybody really thinks George will be a Spur next season. It's just a no-brainer to try.

[TimDunkem]

I doubt Lakers are offering their pick. Otherwise they have trash.

[tmtcsc]

If the Spurs could land CP3 & PAul George this summer? Holy shit, that's a lot of talent. So what if George goes after 1 year? Set up an appointment with Lebron James.

[absoloot66]

Spurs are in a win-now mode, even if it's for a one year rental. Fuck it I say. If he leaves, he also leaves behind cap space.

?For Lebron?:wow:wow:wow

[tonight...you]

It would be SO worth it, right? I'd probably match it, just because...

I'm not clear on how Paul comes without dumping LMA's salary. Parker won't be traded or waived.

They're not trading their pick, and the other two guys aren't assets. Clarkson is a dime a dozen and getting paid $12/yr for the next three and Randle will be a restricted FA in a year (read: could get overpaid).

Aldridge is much more valuable either of the two, and both combined.

[DAF86]

Thing is: Why would the Lakers give all that knowing thay they can have him for free the next offseason?

And who knows? Maybe the Pacers would rather have an established All-star than a couple players with mediocre potential.

[dabom]

It would be SO worth it, right? I'd probably match it, just because...

I would be happy. :lol

[baseline bum]

Worry about getting him first, then you work on him wanting to stay, imho.

I don't follow NCAA ball at all so I can't say who I'd like, but if the Spurs can get pick #10 from Sacramento and RC has someone he really wants still available, I will easily take that over a rental of Paul George with no extension agreed to. Obviously I'd take George with an extension over anything available tonight though. Same for pick #9 from Dallas or pick #13 from Denver.

[MultiTroll]

BTW I don't believe any of this. I've gone around and read about the credibility of the guy who originally tweeted this and it's shady as fuck as well as Amico's credibility who later confirmed it.
Seems like a lot of these media types just spout.
And/or they are working for a team to drive up trade return. (like oh oh oh Lakers and AIDs you better up your offer for George.)

[DAF86]

I don't think anybody really thinks George will be a Spur next season. It's just a no-brainer to try.

Pretty much this. It is a very long shot. But you have to go at it with all you got.

[$pursDynasty]

The other thing is, Kawhi isn't much of a limelight guy. George could come in and have all the publicity he wants, Leonard wouldn't care.
Yeah KingSlayer can play the Timmay role, while PG can be MVParker during the Eva years, get all the media spotlight/interviews.

[DAF86]

CP3-Kawhi-PG13-Bertans-Dedmon

What a beatiful pipe-dream, tbh. :lol

[sasaint]

I'm not clear on how Paul comes without dumping LMA's salary. Parker won't be traded or waived.

Would the arrival of PG make Tony expendable if we could also add CP3 to the team?

[sasaint]

Agreed. The only player the Lakers have that is mildly interesting is Nance.

[Mr. Body]

Would the arrival of PG make Tony expendable if we could also add CP3 to the team?

No. We're never trading Parker.

[DAF86]

Would the arrival of PG make Tony expendable if we could also add CP3 to the team?

Tony is expendable even without those players coming but he's still not going anywhere, tbh.

[buttsR4rebounding]

Supposedly PG has interest in coming to the Spurs.

Dijon and maybe DRose on a minimum. Although I wouldn't mind having Beverley on his contract.

[baseline bum]

I would really like to keep Danny if we get PG.

For what? George would play 2, Kawhi 3, and the Spurs would need to move Green to try to get a big.

[picnroll]

I'm betting. Pacers want Murray thrown in with Aldridge for a swap.

[Joseph Kony]

For what? George would play 2, Kawhi 3, and the Spurs would need to move Green to try to get a big.
Spurs could get away with playing Kawhi/PG at the 3/4 spot imo...

[cd98]

If LAL don't give them the 2nd pick, he comes to SA. Book it.

[tholdren]

Dijon and maybe DRose on a minimum. Although I wouldn't mind having Beverley on his contract.

Lol there are literally 2 pgs in the league now. Are you asking who is going to dribble up the court?

[Mr. Body]

Dijon and maybe DRose on a minimum. Although I wouldn't mind having Beverley on his contract.

You don't want Murray starting. You need someone ready.

We can disagree. I do want Dijon starting, with an adequate safety net - just like they did with Tony.

I haven't looked at the salaries. You could be right; perhaps the Spurs would need to move Danny to get a replacement big. I just think a 3-man wing rotation (and at times all 3 on the floor) of Kawhi/PG/Danny would be awesome.

[cd98]

Would you want LMA or the 27 and 28th picks and Clarkson? I know, I know. But that package is eh for LMA. It's also eh for PG. LAL either gives the number 2, or Pacers do the smart thing and get an all-star caliber player with a name to sell to the fans and more time to either convince him to stay or trade him under better circumstances (just feed him the ball and let him pile up empty stats in the eastern conference and then trade him for better picks, etc.).

[LkrFan]

If he's traded here he wouldn't have a choice, at least for the first year. But yeah, him re-signing in SA isn't likely at all. The Spurs getting CP3 and winning a title is probably what it would take.

What's the bet Hunter? That PG comes to SA over LA? I don't think it's likely - I think what this is, is use SA's name as a threat to get you to cough up that #2 pick.

Not happening. Like mid said, Magic LOVES Lonzo (for better or worse). He'll be a Laker unless Philly surprises and takes him #1.

Using the Spurs name means nothing. Outside of Leonard (untouchable), what other assets you have that makes the Spurs a credible threat? LMA? :lmao

No Pierce, the Doc we know would trade for LMA and then re-sign his son, and then throw money at below average free agents so he could lose in the 1st round.

Seems too good to be true, even for a one year rental. The Lakers surely can and would offer more than anything we can.
Why would they do that? They know they'll have a great shot at getting him anyway after this year. It's not like they're ready to win now. Best suitors for PG this year are contenders

[Ron Swanson]

Larmarsha is tainting his reputation.

Yep. It's a bad look for him. Tanking the shit out his trade value too.

[buttsR4rebounding]

If the Pacers squeeze the #2 pick out of the Lakers they do it, but if it is anything close you know they would rather trade him elsewhere.

[sasaint]

Why would they do that? They know they'll have a great shot at getting him anyway after this year. It's not like they're ready to win now. Best suitors for PG this year are contenders

The only reason is if they are concerned that a year on the Spurs playing with Kawhi and ? and making a legitimate run at a title could change Paul's mind.

[Dex]

Yep. It's a bad look for him. Tanking the shit out his trade value too.

Same problem he had coming into San Antonio with his feud with Lillard.

Dude is a diva. He said a lot of the right things to the media while he was here, but if these current reports are true...he wasn't really buying into any of it.

[eDizzle20]

I'm sure Indy is requesting a young player like Murray along with Aldridge. There's no incentive for Indiana to simply trade George for Aldridge 1 for 1 without a commitment from Aldridge.

[$pursDynasty]

Now that the draft is over, I get the feeling that LMA might be the best thing the Pacers can get for PG13, so it might be time to make it happen. Hell if they want a Brynn Forbes or this year's #1 (not impressed by what I have seen of him) as a sweetner then so be it.

[Ice009]

I want Paul George. He's my number 1 target right now (even over Chris Paul).

If the Spurs can somehow get him with a straight swap with Indiana, go for that, but otherwise, try a three way deal between Spurs, Cavs and Indiana. The framework of the trade would be - Green and Aldridge to Cleveland, Love to Indiana and Paul George to the Spurs. Cleveland would come out ahead in this, but if that is the case, Lebron would push for this trade to happen. He wants Green and if you throw in Aldridge as an extra, I think Lebron would push for it. Green and Aldridge also don't have long contracts so if Lebron bolts, they'll be off the books relatively quickly. Love would be a good piece for Indiana to add and try and built around/with.

[Mr. Body]

I think this is true. I don't think the Spurs have any incentive to give up Murray, although the Pacers may be reading the recent news about LMA's disaffection as leading to Spurs desperation. But it looks like Boston may not be ready to move on anything and I don't know what else is out there for PG.

Seems like that proposal is tilted in the Cavs' favor. I don't know why Danny didn't get moved last night, but I suspect it was not for lack of interest. I believe that there may well have been interest in both Danny and LMA, but the Spurs and Cavs and possibly a third team were hammering out the specifics of a trade for which they had a general framework in place.

Every team in the league overvalues their draft picks, then two years later wonder why they didn't trade away from whatever crap player they had selected that year.

Well, if Indiana don't want Love, then that screws that up. I don't want him either, but the Spurs are trying to play for Championships, Indiana isn't. If the Spurs were a lottery team like Indiana is going to be, I'd take Love. I think he could at least help them win more games and make more money rather than being a cellar dweller.

Edit : Just remembered, didn't both Jimmy Butler and Paul George not want to play for the Cavs after all with the uncertainty surrounding Lebron leaving after next season?

CGD tbh, why would Indy prefer Love to Aldridge? I think that this needlessly complicates things imo Aldridge > Love so why would Indy want to get the Cavs involved? Why would the Spurs for that matter? LMA might be the best thing that Indy will get for a Paul George rental. I would rather have an all star to build around than just draft picks (Boston). It is a win win for the Spurs and Pacers to do it straight up, that way the Spurs can hang on to Verde and even Fathead if they like.
On the Celtics tip, Ainge will remain a genius for as long as he has picks, the second he cashes those picks in for a player (s) the genius tab goes away and the reality of just how good a gm he is will start to be known. I think he likes the mystery of the potential of options so I wouldn't be surprised to see the Celtics keep kicking the can down the road for 5 more years.

I love Aldridge for George straight up. I doubt he will stay in SA. But if he bolts, we are no worse off than we would have been with LMA opting out. But I don't think the Pacers are ready for that swap. I think they still hold out hope that the Lakers will pony up a better offer.

I completely agree that swapping misfits is the cleanest approach, and what makes most sense.

I'm just going off rumors that CLE was interested in LMA and Green, which I understand can be complete BS. Also hoping to kill two birds with one stone to open up space for CP3 should Spurs land PG.

Agree, I think they're using Spurs to force Laker's hand since it's one of the few places that may have a 50/50 of keeping him.

[Mnky]

Not a big one, but one none the less is getting a Max player at least lets you save some face over losing him for nothing. It would definitely take assets too, which is why that deal is tough.paul wont commit.

[Ice009]

Doesn't Love have a longer contract compared to Aldridge? That's one reason I'm thinking Indiana might prefer him to Aldridge because Aldridge would only be a 1 year rental there too.

And our hope can be the Flamers have nothing better to offer, right?
I mean for all his faults Aldridge is 17 and 9 and was advancing in the playoffs as long as Kawhi was holding his hand.

The Lakers (Flamers? Because of Magic's arrival?) don't have anything as good that they would offer. But they do have younger pieces and a higher draft pick (probably) next year.

i think LA is content to just save as much for next summer as they can with the intention of building the next "super team" by going after both james and george.
