AROUND the NBA:

On another topic, I am desperately hoping that Paul George lands somewhere other than the LAC this summer. I'm looking forward to that team being dead and buried.

I know it's tough to buy them as a threat, given they were never really healthy enough to succeed, but the way they were built around two long, athletic wings is STILL the standard for me, as demonstrated by how easily Boston just handled our Mavs in the Finals. I actually thought the Clippers series was the most difficult one prior to the finals, partly because that's when Luka's injury seemed to bother hm the most, but also because they're just a tough matchup for Dallas as currently constructed. It feels amazing to have finally gotten past them, but their best player was hurt. Even when he played, he wasn't nearly himself (more hampered than Luka, even). If Kawhi is healthy, I don't know if the Mavs get past the first round, and wouldn't this summer's outlook be different in those circumstances?

They'll probably never be healthy, and I get that, but Paul George in another uniform would still make me feel a ton better, personally.

There's already rumors of him either going to the Knicks or heck even the Warriors.

Anywhere but the West. I'm afraid if he does get traded to the Knicks, the Clippers will actually look a little better given they have playable guys. Still, it doesn't matter if Kawhi isn't healthy. If he can't play then a team with just Harden and JAG's is not very scary in this West.
