The Pros & Cons Of A Paul George Trade To The Knicks

The Pros & Cons Of A Paul George Trade To The Knicks

Nicks Philly Clippers Wing Market let’s start with Paul George Stein Mark Stein came out with his newsletter over the weekend um that feels and and in his newsletter he stated that the Knicks could be an option here for Paul George given that he’s had a contract impass with the Clippers seems like he wants that four-year deal at 221 the Clippers seem to be bulking at the extra year maybe they they’re around the three-year I believe it was like 150 between 150 and one one um 160 the kawhai deal the KA the kawhai deal now steinline saying the Knicks could be interested if he chooses to opt in which is his date is June 29th what did you think about when when you when you heard that news as it relates to the Knicks so I’ll just add to itar I’m just looking and and shout out to New York basketball great Twitter account um that he they they just retweeted um a windhorse clip from this morning on get up saying Windor saying that the me Paul George situation could come to a head in the next day or two according to him in terms of an optin and trade because you know I don’t know how much you’ve been getting into the the cap part of the George thing but like if he want yes he could walk in he could become a free agent and walk into you know Philly’s cap space or Orlando’s cap space but if he wants to come to the Knicks without getting boring everybody to sleep with the with the cap stuff it would need to be an optin and then get traded so he like on his 4 roughly 9 million number for next year look I I love Paul George as a player I think he is again if we’re bringing it back to Boston what do you want to have if you want to try to beat Boston you want to have a guy who is not going to present any weak spots on either end of the floor meaning could defend a multitude of positions when he’s on defense and then on the other end can create his own shot yes which Paul George could obviously do but he’s also he can play easily a second fiddle I mean he’s one of the best spot-up Shooters in the league and he’s a willing uh shooter as well the guy has only increased his three-point percentage in terms of volume over the years I I love the idea of like lining up Paul George and ogan and Obi I like the idea of lining up Paul George and Julius Randle I think there are benefits to both unfortunately the way the cap Works you’re not getting all three of those guys just there’s no way it’s there’s no way that it’s going to work so if you’re the Knicks and you’re looking at a George situation you’re saying all right do we go with what we have here already which we kind of know what that is we saw it in January or do we upset the apple cart and if you upset the apple cart to bring in George obviously there’s the Age part making a ton of money um you’re gonna have to give him three years on top of next year um the the easiest way to go would seem to be to include Randall in some type of deal again that’s just the way the math Works under the cap I’m not going to bore everybody with why is that a tradeoff you want to make like a lot of people would say no some people would say yes I’m not doing it you’re not doing it okay look I for all the reasons you just said I love Paul George if you want to pick the like the one of the most perfect profiles to go with this team right now it’s him that’s it I liked him when they were after him last year when those rumors started to percolate and I like the type of play now but it’s just like you said I put it out there on Sunday on Twitter like am I trying to see them trade a 29y old Randall for PG right now is it is it that drastic of a change are they really ready to to go that route then not even to trade the asset but then you got to sign him you got to pay him a guy northwards of 35 I don’t I don’t I just don’t like it man I just don’t like it maybe it’s the trauma the the PTSD of of being an ncks fan and and you know of of yester year when when they gave those guys those type of deals and it never worked out he had a great year last year I just don’t trust him man I don’t trust him um I and when it’s funny you say you don’t trust him because you’re talking about the health yeah you could very easily be talking about the playoff performance where you want to talk about night and day I mean if you went and watched I forget what game was it against Dallas this year where he went out and scored like 25 points in the first half he looks like he looked like the greatest player on the face of the Earth and then you turn on the TV a few days later it’s like did Paul George play in this game like you know one two for 10 or whatever the heck he he went in like one either game five or game six against the Mavs I don’t think either game was particularly good um so but but again the thing there is that’s him as the first option I think we know enough to know yeah like you don’t want Paul George as your first option even though he he did an admirable job when quiet went out a few years ago and he he helped take them to the Conference Finals but but as a second guy specifically with Brunson as the head of the snake for me it really does come down to how do you think this guy is going to age what kind of shape does he keep himself in is he going to be committed to you know an offseason training regiment like you know basically you’re asking him to be LeBron not LeBron in terms of a player type but like LeBron in terms of being able to keep himself longevity exactly longevity thank you that’s that’s the word I was looking for if you have doubts about that then you probably can’t make the move because you are taking what right now is it’s not a wideopen Runway because again the cap stuff is is coming it’s it’s here but when you when you make your move for a guy that that’s this age it’s like all right we we think it we’re going to be able to do this in the next two to three years which look they it’s not that they can’t but but you’re are you cutting yourself off at that point as opposed to if you stick with Randall but then is it like oh you know we’re trying to have our cake and eat it too and then we end up with nothing it I I think it’s a really interesting discussion I’ll just say that yeah and I I could I could see both sides having a point salute to everybody in the chat once again hit that thumbs up button for you boys we got a $10 Super Chat from David Crockett Dave Crockett in the chat man says if anyone is still mad about National media type still doing the LOL Nicks thing we got CP Macker the Strickland and others doing the holy work for us thanks for everything y are doing all love and respect man yeah salute to David Crockett definitely appreciate the support and if you guys are in the chat man on your lunchtime grind go ahead and leave a hashtag grind in the chat and we will shout you guys out let me let’s let’s play The Wind Horse clip I do have it pulled up here sure and then I want to look at this Paul George thing from another angle as well this is Brian wior courtesy of get up this morning and to NBA New York for for pulling up okay here we go it’s Paul George the guy though is this the most important domino in free agency well let’s remember that Paul George has three options one is to reassign with the Clippers two is to enter free agency and go somewhere else like Philly or Orlando three he can opt into his contract and get traded by this weekend that is something that is going to come to a head in the next day or two if he wants to go with that option because obviously you’d have to negotiate a trade and then the team wouldn’t necessarily need salary cap space so the Paul George sweep Stakes is going to come to ahead at least that aspect of it faster than those other players who are going to be free agents like Klay Thompson or demard de Rosen so Paul George has a different menu of options and we’re going to see some action in that probably coming up you know very quickly after the draft well whatever it is we know that Paul George is a championship caliber player who hasn’t show all right so we’ll pause that so that was get up now do you know that Paul George Championship Cali player yeah right I I like Paul George a lot I’m a I’m a bigger fan of the potential move than you but that was interesting to you yeah that was very interesting now what about the reports that you had the Shams report last week that Phillies cooled off on him I find that hard to believe what do you think about that they need him they need a guy like that they have the cap space for him I think Philly is trying very hard to make it seem like they have the situation under control uh you know this is not Philly film school so we’re not going to spend a lot of time on them but like they there’s no more desperate team in the league this summer they have they have to do something with that money and that’s part of the reason why I am going to like a lot of people are like yeah don’t worry about oen and Obi he’s going to come back Leon’s not going to let him get away I I buy all of that and I think ultimately OG is going to sign on the dotted line our our mutual friend Ian Begley when Ian comes on with you know with me last week and he says until I see OG fire CA as his agency I’m not going to be worried I’m gonna take that to the bank all that being said if you’re Philly and you’re like okay well GE Paul George we don’t think he wants to come here so he’s not an option for us and then you start looking at it’s like all right well you know Jimmy Butler we can’t get him for what we have to offer Like Pat Riley’s not going to do that and and he’s not going to let Jimmy Force his way here and like we’re not getting LeBron and Brandon Ingram doesn’t really do anything for us like pretty soon you get close to okay well why don’t we just screw over the Knicks offer OG the Max and worse comes to worse you leave them in a tougher salary cap situation because they either let him walk for nothing or we got him so that’s why I’m kind of I do I am worried about Philly um I I don’t know if you’re Paul George do you want to go play in that environment I I’m not sure I do yeah ask ask Tobias Harris right so and then once once mbid goes down because you know he’s gonna go down at some point with you know some sprain knee ligament some type of thing you know not wishing it on him but it’s his history then hey now it’s a lot more on you to to deliver in Philly yeah I don’t you know the thing like yes there’s a lot of attention in LA but like he gets to play for the Clippers yeah yeah it’s not the Lakers you know yeah um and I feel like but I don’t know maybe George doesn’t care about that stuff maybe he does and then oh and and then on top of that I’m sure you guys have talked about this the comments he made on his podcast recently about implying very strongly that maybe D Mory is not a guy that he wants to get into business with because of the lack of ability to trust him now money goes a long way so I you know maybe that doesn’t matter but it’s a very interesting situation and and really for as much as the George Domino is the first Domino on the player side the like Philly what they do is going to dictate a lot of other stuff so you know it they bear watching for sure
