Why Houston Rockets Make Sense As Opt-In Trade Partner For Paul George & LA Clippers
Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) discusses whether or not the Houston Rockets should pursue a trade for LA Clippers star Paul George this offseason, why PG13 could be available in the first place by leveraging his ability to opt-in to the final year of his contract and be traded to a team of his choosing, what the deal could like from the Rockets perspective, how PG’s role would be different in Houston than LA playing off of Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun and more.

COMMENT: Would you want the Rockets trade for Paul George?
They should trade Jock and a far off top 4 protected first and two seconds for Alex Caruso. Let the Clippers sit and spin.
No. It would be way too expensive for a guy who, in his age 35 season, isn't on even close to our timeline. They're going to be asking for at least like four 1st round picks. For one or two good years? That's nuts.
It would be a very very bad idea. He is often injured and guess what it's not going to get better but worse. If you're going to make a deal like that make it count. Find someone that is younger and a much better on the injury history.
Pass on PG. But I wanna see a video of you talking about Devin Booker.
All we have to do is start eason over brooks
PG13 would be great but I would rather target Brandon Ingram
Hellllll no
NOOOOO
No he's washed. The best aging star available is KD.
Hell no. It would be stupid to give up our young asset's for him at that age
No trade for PG. To me, he is a bad egg. He doesn't have the desire to win.
@Chris-uq7in I said the same thing. Brandon Ingram will be a better fit
All these players that wouldn’t even make us contenders. PG like many have said is always hurt. All his time in LAc has had injuries. And giving a lot of picks and players wouldn’t make sense. If it’s just Tate and Dillon maybe.
Anyway PG is happy in LAC I doubt he will leave LA
No.
NO, HE CHOKES IN THE PLAYOFFS JUST LIKE HARDEN!!!!
We will make the play offs for sure with him so I’m good with it.
Let’s see how the 6 marinate a year and who shakes out on top. We aren’t championship bound on a PG13 timeline anyways. Eason may be the guy at the 3.
1 Fred
2 Jalen
3 Tari
4 Bari
5 Sengun
Let it go a year. If anyone doesn’t improve, consolidate and make a splash next year.
I would do the trade.
We don't want PG in HOUSTON let him go destroy another team culture leave us alone we good
I like PG13 and I love the idea of adding a high end 3 and D wing that can be a star. However his age alone is enough to make me say no thanks. I want someone with that same Star or superstar potential that is closer to our age range like upper 20s right around 30. Booker is ideal. But the PG13 idea is on the right track
