Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

IMO, Paul George would be an attempt at jumping the shark.  Unlike Fonzie, we'd crash, burn, and be eaten.

PG13 is too old and too injury prone.  How many miles are left on an oft-injured, 34yo player who relies on his athletic ability/availability?

I am right there with you.

My issue with George is that he is 34 yet looks quicker, more athletic than PJ right now.

How many years before there is a sharp drop off in defensive ability compared to PJ?  Based on my brief review of George last night...it would seem he would still be serviceable for a few more years only speaking of defense.   But Im not qualified.

Seems like giving up a bunch of youngins for him would be a questionable move.   If there is a hot timeline to win, like within next 2 years, I think you would have to think about it.   But I am not gutting my depth for a guy that could fall off soon.   I would have to have a strong team still intact after the George acquisition or its a no from me.
