They are not getting either so why does it matter?

And unless something changes between now and around the draft, Paul George's camp is going to tell those teams, "don't trade for us, don't trade for George because when he's an unrestricted free agent in 2018, he's going to the Lakers, you are not re-signing him". So teams are going to be leery of giving up much of anything to trade for Paul George." |

I don't really read this as he wants to come to the lakers, but more like he wants to stay in Indiana and try for the all NBA team. His agent is basically squashing PG trade value, and telling the Lakers to wait. Remember his agent is either getting 4% of $135m or of $205m |
So if gets traded to us now and makes all NBA in 17-18 then does he get 205m from us or only his original team? |
Only with Pacers. That's why Cousin was so upset about being traded from the Kings. That trade cost him like $40m or something. So if i'm PG i don't want to be traded and will probably make lots of noise about walking come trade deadline. Best case scenario for PG is that he stays with Pacers and they dont trade him, he gets the super max in 2018 summer and get to sit down and decide to go for the money or go to his favorite team. Again, I am not entirely confident he choose the Lakers over $80m |

Yeah...I think I'm with Chase and Clutch on all these trade scenarios.

I want to go to a team... I let them know through intermediaries that I will come for sure so don't give up any assets that will make my future team weaker.
So why do people here keep suggesting packages giving up important assets when there is absolutely no need to do so?
The Warriors have KD... Cleveland has LeBron... The Spurs have Kawhi... Chicago has Jimmy Butler... Houston could use him... but who do they have to trade? And why would Paul want to live in Houston? Boston could use him but Crowder seems to be up and coming and then he'd have to live in racist Boston. Utah would be a good fit since Joe Johnson is getting old but again it's not the most exciting place to live. The Knicks could trade Melo for PG13 but he wouldn't go to Indiana and why would he want to go to a worse team than us? I don't think the Clippers can get him unless they get rid of Blake.
I really don't see a super attractive place for an L.A. kid to want to go to instead of us... Milwaukee has the Greek Freak already. What is the exact scenario that people see where we should give up two draft picks and two important subs... to get someone who we could get for free?
Am I missing something? |

Love it. |
So funny because all Indiana fans seem to think we have no leverage-- well there it is, Hoosiers.
PG's reps tell teams who are considering trading for him that he's leaving anyway and boom, no team offers much. Indiana is stuck taking a lesser package from us, another team, or hanging on for dear life and hoping something convinces him to stay. |
That something would be 3rd team all NBA. He will be trying hard for that and if he gets it, Pacer for life. |
Being chosen All NBA doesn't guarantee you get $207 million. It just means you're eligible. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of teams balk at paying that to most of the All NBA players. |
That is true, some teams could choose political suicide.

Maybe you are missing the idea that PG doesn't want to come here?

If he doesn't want to come here... then I'm much less excited to have him... PG minus those assets probably means fodder for GS, SA and LAC in the first round for the next three years. PG with the assets could mean a dark horse run. |

It could be up to $80M or as low as maybe $15M if he resigns a 35% deal after 2 years with us. He could even make up some of that 15 on the back end if his 10th year contract with the lakers has him at the max longer than his 13th year contract would with the Pacers. If he doesn't make all-NBA it's only a difference of $1.2M in raises each year, plus the fifth year of course. |

Eric Pincus:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2714001
Fyi this is not a report nor a rumor, just an opinion from both Emplay/Pincus and the NBA executive from another team that he spoke with.
| Quote: | One NBA executive told Bleacher Report that the current task for the Lakers in their pursuit of George is to acquire another player — the type of player who would make defecting more desirable for George.
Perhaps the answer is in the draft and player development, but the Lakers may need to accelerate the process by bringing in additional help through free agency and trades. And time is of the essence. |

Will be interesting to see if the Lakers try to get PG13 now or wait until next year, if they really want him they should make a run now, you can still convince him to play with a good player like Griffin if we end up signing him. |

Pincus talking with Doc Rivers again?
If the Clippers, sorry I mean if another NBA team is telling us what we need to do and that we need to make trades for Paul George, that means they're shaking in their boots that Lakers might get him here free with our young core intact in 2018.

3 ways to make that happen--
1) trade young pieces for someone like Jimmy Butler and wait for PG in FA
2) develop (and hope) the young guns + place holders make huge strides
3) clear cap space in 18 to be able to sign Cousins (for example) along with PG
Some combination of two or more of could happen. I would not be surprised in the least to find out that we've been making a serious push for Butler while also moving a contract out like Deng.
Whatever it is they end up doing, they better do it better Randle's extension due date is here. |

the only way we have 2 max slots next year is remove all 3: JC, Moz, Deng from the books.
i don't even know if that works.
if we couldn't trade all 1 of moz/deng, I would trade 1 of moz/deng for stretch 1 with buyout (like how Nets did with Williams)

If Indiana is smart, they will offer PG13 to cavs for kevin love, who will be the odd man out IMO after the cavs get waxed in the finals. Cavs will take the risk because PG13 is def an upgrade over love on that specific cavs style of play Vs. the Warriors. If the cavs then won the title, the chances of PG signing here would be polar opposites: either really want to play 4 the hometown team cause he got his ring or, eff this, I want more rings now with bron.
As for the Pacers, they would view that deal as better than any laker offer because they have a marquee name in Love, not jawun evans.

If we get PG, people need to temper their expectations.
He's a lower tier superstar. He's not in the realm of Westbrook, Lebron, Durant, Curry, etc.
I don't care how well he played in March/April. He's not on their level.
But he's a very good player.
Adding him to our roster probably gets us to the playoffs as a 6-8 seed and a first round exit.

I think this is plausible, unless the Pacers absolutely hate Kevin Love. Worst case scenario they could just include a 3rd team and get tons of picks.

Clarkson is easy to move
Deng just needs mins at PF to get his value back up then would be an attractive piece for a team like Washington who need a great vet at the 3/4.
Could stretch Mozzy |

Right, which is why you could include a 3rd team (i.e. if you're the Kings as a 3rd team, they'd probably happily take KLove and give up 5, 10, or even both).

NBA Executive thinks Aaron Mintz - the agent for Paul George, D'Angelo Russell, and Julius Randle - wants them all together playing for the Lakers
| Quote: | Aaron Mintz, Paul George's agent, is the kind of agent who will fight aggressively to get a client to his preferred destination.
George doesn't want to end up like 33-year-old Carmelo Anthony, who joined the New York Knicks in a 2011 trade from the Denver Nuggets.
New York gave up many quality players like Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, current Lakers center Timofey Mozgov and draft picks, depleting the team's talent pool.
George can afford to be patient. He's better off joining a team that doesn't have to dismantle its roster to make room. George's agent Mintz can work to diminish his client's value in trade by indicating to teams that he is dead-set on joining the Lakers.
That assumes George has hand-picked the Lakers. But even if that's not the case, the less any team gives up in a trade to acquire him, the better a chance George avoids Anthony's fate.
Per an NBA executive, some teams have been willing to take a risk and trade for a player who won't give an unofficial promise to stay long-term, like the Houston Rockets, but many would shy away.
The same executive noted the Pacers must get enough for George to make a trade worthwhile. It may not have to be players like Ingram or Russell, or the Lakers' No. 2 pick. Indiana might just let George leave to open up cap space if the return is too marginal.
Same executive also noted Mintz might prefer to keep his clients together in Los Angeles, as he represents both D'Angelo Russell and Julius Randle with the Lakers.

which makes sense because Indy would probably be most interested in BI |

Cavs will take the risk because PG13 is def an upgrade over love on that specific cavs style of play Vs. the Warriors. If the cavs then won the title, the chances of PG signing here would be polar opposites: either really want to play 4 the hometown team cause he got his ring or, eff this, I want more rings now with bron.
As for the Pacers, they would view that deal as better than any laker offer because they have a marquee name in Love, not jawun evans. |
I think this is plausible, unless the Pacers absolutely hate Kevin Love. Worst case scenario they could just include a 3rd team and get tons of picks. |
if they trade PG it's to build around Turner. They'd want young players and picks |
Right, which is why you could include a 3rd team (i.e. if you're the Kings as a 3rd team, they'd probably happily take KLove and give up 5, 10, or even both). |
Was more responding to the fellow above about Love being a marquee name.
That'd be an interesting situation: LeBron/PG/Kyrie |
