Paul George on Rockets: Personally, I wouldn’t pursue James Harden
While talking with Rockets guard Jalen Green, NBA star Paul George explained why it’s best for them to roll with Green now instead of adding Harden to the team on “Podcast P with Paul George.” “Personally, I wouldn’t (pursue Harden),” George told Green. “At this point, that’s your [team]. Like, you’re the King of Houston. They made their decision…on who the future is…When you pick a guy with the fourth pick, he’s our guy. They full-on committed to who the future is. Like you got to go through this. You got to go through being double-teamed, triple-teamed, being a target every time. You gotta go through that.”

The West officially goes through the Denver Nuggets.
And since Kawhi Leonard and Paul George teamed up in 2019, no team has beaten the Clippers more in the regular season than Denver (10-4 vs LAC, including 4-0 this season).
That does not include the 2020 3-1 bubble semis. – 11:48 PM

The James Harden to Houston rumors are getting louder and louder. I wrote about how Philly can pick up the pieces if he leaves. I found four viable paths:
1. Try to trade Maxey+Harris for a star?
2. 2023 cap space?
3. 2024 cap space?
4. Process 2.0!

Shams Charania: Alabama’s Brandon Miller, set to be among top 2023 NBA picks, sits down with @Stadium: “I feel like I’m No. 1, but you can’t beat 7-5, 8-foot wingspan.” On becoming a defensive force after taking his first charge foul in college, modeling after Pacers Paul George, and much more. pic.twitter.com/kswkBbeDWk -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / May 24, 2023
“You bring on someone like James who’s such a ball-dominant player like that’s gonna hinder your growth a little bit. You know what I mean? Regardless of how it can elevate you on another level of him teaching you and you learning off of him, I feel like for you, you’ve already been through the fire. So, let you continue to learn.” -via Heavy.com / May 24, 2023
In a world where Boston decides to move on, sending him, Horford, and Payton Pritchard to the Clippers for Paul George and a first-round pick makes some sense for both sides. (Boston would be wise to ask about Leonard first.) A similar package to the Blazers for Damian Lillard seems less likely for a variety of reasons, but is something Boston should explore. -via The Ringer / May 23, 2023
