5. Revisiting PG-13

LeBron James really wanted Paul George last season, why not make another run at him this season?

To bring George into the mix, he’d have to tell the Thunder he’s not returning. Oklahoma City would then try and work out a sign-and-trade because getting something George is better than nothing.

James and George would then have to agree to play in Cleveland, in what would be a behind the scenes move.

The eighth pick would be the motivator for the Thunder in this scenario.

It was hard to watch the playoffs this season and not see anyone on the roster besides James who could be counted on to score.

That changes instantly with the addition of George to the roster.
