Zach Lowe: Paul George would love to play with Gordon Hayward

[Elizah Huge]

I understand he said he wants to play for LAL. I'm merely stating that we might be the team who could convince him to re-sign.

If the Jazz approach Indy about PG, it will be with the assumption that it is a one year rental, and whatever they offer will reflect that.

It's a pipe dream regardless. We're not getting George.

Here's my conspiracy theory:

Hayward, George, and Hill have talked about playing together. Hayward and Hill, who have a strong relationship, have told George about the merits of playing under Snyder and with Gobert. They know the Jazz don't have the assets to acquire George outright, so George's camp leaks out the desire to go to Los Angeles in the summer of 2018, significantly lowering other teams' willingness to give up assets for him, as well as lowering the cost of entry for the Jazz.

Pipe dream, probably, and I'm not sure how it might work in terms of money and cap space. But I could see it happening.

My **** just got hard.

Why did it censor okra?

We are dumb to do that trade for one year of PG.

We would be dumb not to if we can do it without giving up a major piece, as in an important player. If Hood, #24 and a future unprotected first would do it, we have to do it IMO. With Hill, George, Hayward, Favors, Hood, Johnson, Burks, Exum and Ingles, we would very likely be the 2nd best team in the West and probably even in the league. It would put us in a position where a single injury to any of the 4 best GS-players gives us a fighting chance for a championship. I can`t see any other path that would put is in the same position for the next few years.

I like being aggressive. I do. I want to try everything.

We can't trade #24 and ours next year because they are both ours.

That's incorrect.

That's incorrect.

I feel like people should know this.

All you have to do is have 1 st rounder every two years right? It doesn't have to be yours.

That would be extremely nice for the Nets as that would make their infamous Boston-trade illegal.

Not true. It has to be able to convey... so an unprotected pick like the GSW one is fine. Can also exercise the pick and trade it on draft night to meet requirement.

They used pick swaps instead of trading in consecutive years.

You can trade #24 and next year after #24 has been selected - I'm pretty sure. Before that, you cant trade picks in back to back years unless you have swap options.

Trades right now can be agreed upon but don't go through until July 4th or close to that date. So if we did that we are agreeing to pick a player for them. We are trading the player we selected not the pick.

It's still not «their» pick.

We can trade this years pick and the next anytime as we have the gs pick this year.

Is that a new CBA thing?

Yet again, this is wrong. The trade deadline goes away after your team is eliminated. It is perfectly legal to make trades before the draft. But, you have to make these trades fit under your cap this year.

The Stepien rule only says that a team must have at least one first round pick every other year. It does not say that it needs to be your original pick. That would be a very strange rule as it would prohibit teams who traded last year's pick to trade up or down in the next draft.

That's why the rule changed!
