Paul George Trade? Knicks Rumors per Brian Windhorst & ESPN

Paul George Trade? Knicks Rumors per Brian Windhorst & ESPN

could the Los Angeles Clippers be looking to trade Paul George we’re going to break that down on today’s show as Brian Windor of espan is reporting that Paul George and the Clippers are not on the same page when it comes to a potential contract extension before I give you my thoughts and ideas on PG being a New York Nick I want to hear from you in the comments section do you want Paul George on the New York Knicks if it you got to keep Randall keep that in mind type y for yes Type n for [Music] no welcome in to Nick Now by chat sports I am Marshall Green Let’s talk about it first off Paul George is always going to be a trade Target for the New York Knicks because he is blooded in he is a part of the CAA Mafia and if you’re represented by CAA you are going to be a player of interest for Leon Rose worldwide West in the New York Knicks first and foremost when it comes to Paul George I think when you strictly talk on the hardwood the fit what the product would look like if you had a starting lineup of Brunson Paul George ogan and Obie Julius Randall and Isaiah hartenstein Paul George is almost an ideal fit when it comes to roster constructionwise and just flow and being able to mesh with his teammates he’s 6′ n he can defend ones twos threes and some fours he will take a step back and let other players be the star of the show we saw that when he was a part of the Oklahoma City Thunder playing alongside Russell Westbrook we’ve seen that with the Los Angeles Clippers playing alongside Kawaii Leonard even James Harden and two somewhat of a degree of Russell Westbrook and the guy last year had one of his better seasons of his career he played in 74 games he missed just eight regular season games so has he shook that injury rattled bug that a lot of people connect with his name gave you over 22 points last year giving you five rebounds he could dish it almost like a point guard at times at three and a half assists and he was efficient man for 7 plus% from the deck and north of 41% from threes and when you go even deeper into the numbers you see things that stand out that I think would be major additions to this roster when you talk about what the Knicks need it’s another guy that can spot up on the perimeter and knock down catch and shoot threes with Brunson and Randle demanding double teams Paul George does that at one of the better Clips in the NBA he knocks down catch and shoot three at 45.4% on 4 and 1 half attempts per game and then when the shot clock’s going down or coming off a pick and roll he can get to a spot and rise up and create a quality look from distance on pullup threes he’s knocking it down almost 36% he could still get downhill and operate in that mid-range game he’s got that nice smooth step back he’s knocking his pullup twos down at 45% he’s still really good at attack in the rim converting at almost a 58% clip on less than 10 ft from the basket and he is still one of the better defenders in this league he has he averaged this year three deflections per game that was tied for six across all the players in the NBA and I truly do believe that if injuries are off and that if everybody is healthy and your top seven players include Jaylen Brunson Paul George ogene and Obi Julius Randall Isaiah hartenstein with Don T venzo and Josh Hart coming off the bench if that is your top seven you are contenders to win not one but maybe a couple of NBA finals and we know the New York Knicks have at least had somewhat of of a little bit of interest in Paul George remember last year the New York Knicks made offers for Paul George remember this quote from Allen Han what he said on get up on ESPN last year this quote is from last year they had a chance to get Paul George they said it was too expensive they don’t want to do it they’ve already backed out of that they talked to the Clippers the Clippers gave what it would cost then Paul George said but I want an extension and then they said we’re not doing that and they walked away so Paul George as far as now goes it’s off the table and that’s why I just want to get it out there I’m not sure how realistic that it is now for the New York Knicks to trade for Paul George and there are multiple reasons why Fred Katz of the Athletics says this the Nicks have kicked George’s name around before according to League sources but they never seriously pursued him in a deal why because a Paul George trade has some major risk all the things I said before make him an attractive trade Target for me he could defend he can handle he can score and he’s one of the better catch and shoot players in this league and he’s still Dam good but on the opposite side of the spectrum he’s looking for a Max extension he wants to get paid one more time before he hangs up to sneaks and he’s 34 years old like Father time at some point is going to win and there was a little bit there’s been a little bit of decrease of athleticism and things of that nature I still think he’s a good player and I still think he has a couple good years in front of him but he’s going to continue to be an all World Defender at 3 6 at 37 on top of that outside of this year he hasn’t been able to stay healthy he averaged just 47 games played from the 2019 season to the 2022 season so from 2019 2020 2021 2022 in those Four Seasons prior to this year when he played 74 games he averaged just 47 games played and the thing that upsets me the most with him this felt like the postseason where he could put all that playoff nonsense to bed where he could have stepped up to the plate and hit a Dinger like my guy Mike G but he didn’t kawh lard was hurt the Clippers looked at him and said yo Paul George we need you and he said all right I got you 19 points per game on 41% from the field not good enough what does that tell me he can’t be a 1A option anymore but what if he’s your third best player or what if he’s your fourth best player could that make some sense I think it does but overall it is just not feasible really for the New York Knicks to trade for Paul George Fred Kats of the athletic did a great job of breaking it down saying because the Clippers are so expensive and above the second apron new rules prevent them from signing and trading him New York’s only Avenue to acquiring George would be for him to opt in to his $ 48.8 million player option for 2024 and 2025 then have the Clippers work out a trade look if the Knicks can trade for Paul George without giving up any of the core six they would win an NBA championship I truly do believe that if you could find a way to not include Brunson or Randall or hardenstein or OG or Dante or uh Josh Hart you got a legit shot to do it but at the end of the day it’s got to be possible and it’s got to be realistic and I just don’t see how that’s possible for the multiple reasons that we brought up and I think that this I hope I hope that this puts a bow and just an answer for you out there of how detrimental being a second apron team is when it comes to long-term team building I hope this puts that on your radar I the Nick if everybody’s could win a championship with Paul George I don’t see the trade happening so there’s that on that because you always ask me everyone watching always ask me Marsh what about PG what about PG well that’s what windhorse said and that’s what I had to say make sure you are following me on social media we could talk more about it hit me up at marshall greenore [Music]

Fred Katz (The Athletic):
Because the Clippers are so expensive, above the second apron, new rules prevent them from signing and trading him. New York’s only avenue to acquire George would be for him to opt into his $48.8 million player option for 2024-25, then have LA work out a trade.

Marshall’s Take On Paul George To The Knicks:
If the Knicks can trade for PG without giving up any of the core 7 they could win a championship, but it just isn’t all that realistic
