If I'm the Warriors, I would be offering up Klay/Iggy & offer to swap them for PG/Monta.
PG can do everything BOTH Klay/Iggy bring to the table & Monta would give them a version of Barbosa on steroids. They could probably get Levoy Allen to help shore up the frontline.
Warriors worked hard enough to dump Monta Ellis. He's the last thing they need. Also, Paul isn't nearly the shooter Klay is, and they have enough ball dominant players already.If I'm the Warriors, I would be offering up Klay/Iggy & offer to swap them for PG/Monta.

That would do nothing to improve either team tbh.If I'm the Warriors, I would be offering up Klay/Iggy & offer to swap them for PG/Monta.

I'm not a fan of his soft, cuckold style of basketball, but can't blame him here, tbh..
An NBA team hiring Nate McMillan in 2016 is ing pathetic, as I said during the off-season..it's worse than hiring Byron Scott, considering the Lakers weren't actually trying to win games..these coaches belong in the 90s/2000s..
The real blame goes to Larry Bird, but as I've been saying for years, nobody will dare blame him, despite being one of the worst GMs in basketball..the great white hope, the Peyton Manning of the NBA..
Have you seen Iggy lately?
You mean the same team that's flirting with starting Javale?
Paul George is shooting 43% from 3 & he isn't getting practice 3s like Klay.Also, Paul isn't nearly the shooter Klay
I'm pretty sure they would prefer a one dimensional player like Klay & PG can't shoot better than Iggy:they have enough ball dominant players already.
Iggy has fallen off, but adding a cancer in Monta Eliis (whom they already jettisoned) would be subtraction by addition, and PG would be redundant with Curry/KD already there. As for the Pacers, there's no way Klay Thompson would be an offensive force on that roster without someone to take all the pressure off him/create open looks for him.Have you seen Iggy lately?
Turner is the center, Aldridge would be the PF. Aldridge is an all-star on his prime, I don't know what else could the Pacers get from a discouraged George.Make no sense for them to trade for Softridge when they have a better version of him in Turner.
Would love Paul on the Spurs......
Aldridge is a SOFT center who prefers to play the 4. Dude can't swim w/ the shark on the perimeter. Besides, Turner is 10 years younger so their timeline is way off unlike Klay. Softridge only makes sense for a team that's trying to contend such as the Celtics & Raptors.
They traded Monta b/c they had Curry/Klay & needed a center which is how they acquired Bogut.
Monta in 2011 would have had an issue coming off the bench but Monta in 2016 is coming off the bench for a ty team like the Pacers.
Let me get this straight. You diss my Aldridge trade but propose this abortion of a trade in which the Pacers would get an infinitely lesser version of PG in Klay?If I'm the Warriors, I would be offering up Klay/Iggy & offer to swap them for PG/Monta.

At least Aldridge plays a different position, offers them a style change to shake thing up and has proven himself as a number one option on a playoffs team, which is where the Pacers want to get.
And now they wouldn't reacquire him because he plays the exact opposite style that they do while not filling any sort of position of need. Now if the Dubs were getting Myles Turner or some other athletic big that'd be a different story, but I don't think the Dubs would be willing to part with Raymond to acquire him.
I think they are resigned to the fact that they are not which is why he's trying to get out.
Their goal is to beat Cleveland & considering how Iggy is looking they really have no one to guard him besides Dominos who would risking getting worn out or picking up fouls. Paul George has as much experience as anyone guarding LeBron in the playoffs so they could just have him play the Iggy role while Dominos/Wardell do most of the heavylifting on offense. Paul George is also a very good rebounder so he would help them out in that department.
Monta should be fine on defense since Livingston can take on the bigger guard, they also have McCaw who can do some things in the open court like Iggy.
On the other end, JR Smith would have to guard PG. Klay got cucked by JR in back-to-back Gm 7s but I don't see that happening to PG.
this fkn clown is so overrated man, fkn dribbles down the court and pulls up for a jumpshot for most of the pacers possession...yeh makes highlight plays, but all are empty stats....
has this clown ever won any meaningful h2h games or have any h2h records against other elite players? playing in the pathetic easts with no challenge to lebron, the pr machine markets scrubs as elite players, what a fkn joke the league has become
They have to worry about getting by the Clippers and maybe the Spurs first. Paul George doesn't help them protect the rim or improve their rebounding with the subtraction of Thompson. Both PG and Ellis would take away shots from Curry/Dominos more than Thompson does as well, and in Ellis' case he contributes nothing on the other end. That doesn't even go into hiw much of a downgrade that'd be for the Pacers as well; I just don't see a case where an Iggy/Klay swap for PG/Ellis helps either team.Their goal is to beat Cleveland & considering how Iggy is looking they really have no one to guard him besides Dominos who would risking getting worn out or picking up fouls.

Klay is the second coming of Reggie Miller, they would love him in Indiana.
Besides, last I checked Barbosa was their best bench player in the Finals while essentially playing a poor-man's Monta Ellis role.
PG mad that his shots, points are down when he was hoping for MVP stats. Never mind that his FG% is at an all-time high.
Kawhi and PG could be gorgeous together, hahahaha
If PG was as good as he thinks he is he'd be in the ecf every season.

This nig is as salty as it gets...meltdown!!
He.Is.Gone
I am packaging his ass to Boston for the two Nets picks/Jaylen Brown before the deadline if I were the Pacers..
