Somehow I think Swaggy P is going to be involved in a PG trade with Indiana. Magic is after Paul George and it appears to be not dying down as of this hour. We shall see what happens by 3pm tomorrow.

If PG doesn't get traded by Thursday, this could very well happen next year.

Something tells me Paul George or Jimmy Butler will be a Celtic by the end of the day but Boston would def have to give up that #1 pick

I don't think they should. They need to extend this window as long as possible.

Plus, might get another shot at durant since GS doesn't have bird rights.

I'd do it honestly. You have a young super star with this trade. No guarantee with that high pick that you're going to land a super star. Go with the sure thing. If either player ends up a Celtic, it will be hilarious. It would blow out that whole "Pacers are going to take over the East once Lebron retires". And with Wade, he'd be on a team worst than the Heat if they give up Butler.

Durant's not going to Boston.

I just don't see it happening right now. They will have to give up a lot to get PG. I think if they can't get the right deal they will just wait

Yep. Despite what Magic would like to do, he doesn't have the assets to make a deal for PG especially when it is abundantly clear, he is not moving any of the young players. I think his approach is like everyone else. Moving contracts that are getting old with older players while trying to improve his team. Looks like the focus now is to move Nick Young for a second rounder.

Isn't it unlikely because they need to keep their pick this year?
Wouldn't Paul George win them a few games on his own?
Or would they just shut him down?

If LA loses their top-3 protected pick this year to PHI, then they also lose their 2019 pick to ORL.

Magic knows this, right? Right???!!!

As a Sixers fan, I'm ok with a coin flip scenario this year, but LAL cannot afford to lose two picks over the next three years, especially with those Mozgov/Deng signings. Brutal.
