Paul George's Latest Career Moves: From 76ers to Celtics

There's another guy, John, that has kind of bounced around now. He went to the Philadelphia 76ers. He said, ah, the Clippers aren't giving me my money. I want what Kawhi got. Well, he got a max deal. He got a max deal from the Sixers. And then the Sixers traded him for Jalen Brown. Now he's on the Celtics. And he had his introductory press conference on Tuesday. Now, before you play any of this, I want people to know, Paul George is notorious for saying really dumb stuff he can't do. He doesn't do his podcasts anymore, by the way. Paul George just ended that. But Paul George made a comment to where he, you know, somebody asked him, like, who's the superstar on this team? Like, what is the hierarchy? You know, I'm paraphrasing. But he said, it's Jason Tatum's team. Like, I'm here to help JT. I'm here to, I'm not supposed to be the superstar that they brought in. That's just not me anymore. Jason Tatum is a superstar. I'm trying to help him. So, John, do you still believe that Paul, like, how much does he have left in him? Because he actually was pretty decent for Philadelphia after he got back from that suspension. He was. I got to admit, he was. Remind me, what was he suspended for again? I don't, nobody knows. It was a drug. Steroids! I don't know what it was. So he was better after the steroids? Is that what you're saying? Allegedly. But that doesn't make any sense. We ain't got them kind of lawyers. Steroids, allegedly. Now, let me say this. If you could take a month and a half, two months off in the middle of the season, and you come back and you don't look good, you're done. You're done. Whatever Paul George's identity is now on this roster, if Paul George is not a seat to me at this point in his career, Paul George would be sixth man of the year if I ran this stuff. Oh. I would make Paul George my sixth man. You come in, if you hot, you cooking. Stay. Stay hot. But if you ain't, go sit down. We'll see you tomorrow. Because he doesn't have it night to night. As a starter, as a second option, he's not replacing Jason. He's not replacing Jalen Brown. That's not his role. I'm going to say that falls to Derek White. I honestly, I don't know where they go. If they didn't have Jason Tatum, who, by the way, has a lot to prove from a leadership standpoint this year, what Jalen Brown did with that team, Jason Tatum has to do better than that to make, to justify moving Jalen Brown, period. And I don't think Paul George is going to be able to give you that secondary star that you need alongside Jason Tatum. Because I don't think Derek White is that guy. I think Derek White is a great role player who you saw when you needed him to be your second best player last year, was one of his worst statistical years shooting. So, I don't know. Cato's great, but I'm not depending on Cato to give me anything. Mitchell Robinson? What he gives me, correct. I'm not depending on Anthony Simons if he's even still on the roster. He's on the Sixers now. Mike Conley, newest Celtic, John. Conley, he said he's ready for his. For what? Bench. His retirement check? No, he's ready to go, man. He's healthy. Paul George, get your money with a Shiesty on, big fella. It's cool. Sometimes it happens. Get your money, dawg. Back up. They backed up the Brings truck. The least you can do is pick the money up, man. Yeah, because like, listen, from Celtics fans, the criticism has been loud. I mean, my goodness. And this should be. Do you think that's fair to him, though? Like, it's not his fault that they traded for him. Somebody got to pay. They ain't going to be mad at Bradley. They'll be mad at the front office. They traded Jalen Brown for Paul George. Well, I honestly believe this is going to blow up in their face. Oh, absolutely. I think this is a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. I think you're going to watch Jalen Brown playing the NBA finals. And you're going to watch the Celtics get bounced in the playing game. And then their fans are going to be like, wait a minute. We threw away a championship duo because of a stream. Yeah, because of bad feelings. It's kind of like A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts. They're like the same situation, honestly. That's off to a great start.
