NBA Trade Rumors: If Paul George is indeed available on the trade block, there are more than a few teams that should be willing to go all-in with offers.
The next few days in the NBA should be quite exciting. The 2023 NBA Draft is nearly here and it is set to arrive with plenty of other action behind it. The NBA transaction machine and rumor mill are working overtime as the stage is set for there to be several potentially league-shifting trades over the course of the next few days.
Whether or not any of them come to fruition remains to be seen. But the smoke is out there. And more often than not in the NBA, where there’s smoke there’s a fire.
The next big NBA star that could be on the move
While the likes of Damian Lillard, Karl-Anthony Towns, Kristaps Porzingis, Chris Paul, and Malcolm Brogdon are names to monitor heading into the NBA Draft as potential trade candidates, there is one other, somewhat surprising, entrance to the trade watch extravaganza – Paul George.
According to Marc Stein, there is a belief around the league that the LA Clippers are gauging his trade value. Leading to the possibility that he could be traded at some point this offseason. If that is in fact the case, we explore six teams that should be willing to make godfather all-in offers for PG.
Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets are reportedly looking to add another star next to Mikal Bridges. If that is in fact the case, Paul George would be an intriguing potential target. The Nets have a plethora of future first-round picks that they could offer and some intriguing young players and/or expiring contracts.
Over the next few months, the Nets are one of those teams that are going to be in the conversation for any star player that hits the trade block. PG would not be any different.
