Clips definitely need a third max player on the bench.

But that's how it works. Do you think we're going to get a superstar who's got no potential issues and is at the top of their game for Paul freaking George? We're not getting Giannis, or Jokic or even Booker (who was laughed at by Trapp as being a 'superstar like Paul George). That's the point. Of course there's a risk. The question is - would you do it? I sure as hell would in a heartbeat. And you know what? Anyone on this board who says they wouldn't -- I can assure you, that as soon as that potential move was made, they'd be cheering their asses off and dreaming of Kawhi and Zion on the same team. And that actually would be a nightmare for the rest of the league.

I'll need more time to contemplate this insight.)

I'll need more time to contemplate this insight.) your irrational extreme hated for PG has clouded your mind. NO, I would not take on Zion at a max contract. The guy has been overweight and injured his entire career. PLUS, from everything I have read, he is NOT a team player and not well liked. No thank you. I'd rather take my chances on running it back with 85% of the same team and just hope for no major prolonged injuries to our impact players. We had a winning record with our main guys basically out all year and the "complimentary" players running the show.

Zion is not going to age well. His only basketball skill is his freak athleticism. But injuries will just continue to pile on because persons that big aren't meant to jump that high. Dude will be lucky to have a Blake Griffin type career.

Dude will be lucky to have a Blake Griffin type career. Not sure I would be worried about Zion's 'aging'. He'll be 22 in July. The concern is can he get is weight where it needs to be? I think it's a decent bet that with the right team (personal chef, training team) and most importantly, the motivation of being in LA and on the Clips, he'll be able to do it. And a 'Blake Griffin' career for years 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of his/Blake's career would be a massive jump from what PG will give us in years 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 in his career. To use Mistwell's new favorite measurement - Blake's PER in those years was 4-5 points higher than PG's was this past year - his 12th in the league. Plus Zion is much better than Blake. Zion's PER last year - his second, at age 20 - was 27. We're not going to get a talent capable of that in free agency - we'll always be over the cap. I'm not sure I see a downside. If there's one thing we learned from the season - and again during our little two-game post-season - is that we are no different without Paul George than we are with him.

And it's not due to 'extreme hated for PG'. I think it's a 'risk' well worth taking.

I'll need more time to contemplate this insight.) If any thread defines Dane, it's this one. First he mocks the idea of trading Paul George for Zion Williamson. Then he says that if that trade were to be made, he'd be cheering the trade. Then he mocks me with sarcasm for somehow knowing that he's a simple stupid hypocrite who'll always support a move the team makes even if it's one that he's mocking.

The idea of PG for Zion is deeply mockworthy. Not surprising, since CAM is no longer a serious mind concerning basketball. But it's a ludicrous idea.
Dane is right - some fans would support whatever happens. And Dane would call it like he sees it - he'd mock the trade if it were to happen.
Anyone who pays attention at all around here can predict all of that easily. Except CAM. Because he's no longer a serious mind concerning basketball and has become a clown.
