May be the best we can do if we trade PG. That lineup is a huge hypothetical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockThatBlue Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 If the Pacers didn't re sign Teague, I would be pumped if they drafted Fox. He has very similar skills to John Wall, hes a little smaller but he can play. Very very fast. Hes arguably a better shooter than Wall even was coming out.

If we went that way, we'd also have cap space....to, well. If we don't resign Teague and trade Paul.... we'd' have enough cap space to buy some 'Big Baller' shoes from Lavar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luck is Good Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 But the key thing about PG to the Lakers is would Magic trade for him knowing he could easily get him in FA next summer? But Magic wants to make a huge splash so trading for him on draft night would be quite the splash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luck is Good Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 And the East finals clearly show that the Celtics need a superstar just to compete with the Cavs. Now whether that's PG, I'm not sure.

oldunclemark Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 There are other scenarios. Paul George doesn't have to sign for 5 years. He could sign for 3 and still go 'home' to LA when he's 30, Paul could also simply play 2017-2018 and accept his player option for 2018-2019 and then walk if we aren't good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like last night with the Warriors/Spurs. I will check on it about every 20-30 minutes just to see if any injuries have taken place because at this point that is really the only thing of significance that can derail the Cavs or Warriors moving forward.
