The “what if the Cavs traded for Paul George?” rumor mill has been churning at all hours over the past few days, to the extent that Cleveland sages Brian Windhorst and Dave McMenamin felt compelled to address the scuttlebutt in their most recent piece on ESPN.com.
The whole thing is ridiculous on the face of it. Why don’t they just trade for Kawhi Leonard while they’re at it? However, George just so happens to alleviate most of Cleveland’s weaknesses, and he’s been surrounded in trade rumors for years now, so I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised this is happening.
