Ideally no, but we need an all-star player to attract the other big name free agents.

He is borderline top 15 and currently the best 2 way player in the league.

Verrrrry borderline....:patrice:

I just don’t want this team to be saddled with PG on a max contract. Save that for a max player.

I want PG because he would be a go to... I still think we need a big man for the pace of the game to slow it down... I’d keep IT if he wants to play 6th man... we need another 2 guard not interested in keeping KCP with his $$$ contract

Obviously I’m a homer but I think Ingram will be better than Paul George offensively within 2-3 years.
Me too. Honestly cousins is the only fa I would go after, other than that re up on randle and it. Pg never been that nikka like like that.

I hope the Lakers don't sign Cousins. Guys never recover fully from that achilles tear.

Well... I disagree there and I still want Paul George. We aren’t in a position to turn our noses up at all star talent. I just think really highly of Ingram. He gets better every month and if that pace continues he will have more versatility in his offense than PG.

They have more need for a center. And this ain't the east, you see how far that top 3 2 way player shyt is getting him now.

I don't think neither of them are max players though, but the center need is way bigger, unless nikkas rolling with zubacs. :manny:

PG is not at fault for how okc is performing though. PG is definitely a max player. he's arguably a top 15 player in the league. at his size and weight, there is a significant chance boogie will never be the same

Lets say both Lebron and PG13 signs with us. Would you guys be okay with attaching Kuzma and the Cavs pick to Deng to free up space to re-sign Randle?
