Brooklyn Nets Receive: F Paul George

LA Clippers Receive: G Kyrie Irving, 2022 First-Round Pick (PHI), 2028 First-Round Pick (BKN)

Paul George has had his own trouble staying on a basketball court. However, his ailments are purely physical. After making a successful comeback after enduring one of the most gruesome injuries in the history of the sport, nobody can question his desire to play.

That’s part of why the Clippers are receiving two first-round picks here. At the same time, if Irving is willing to play ball, he could help the Clippers in the short term as well.

Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are two of the most similar superstars in the NBA. As two-way wings with primary shot-creating abilities, they possess a skill set that’s valuable to double down on.

Still, Irving would diversify their attack with the best attacking guard Leonard has ever played alongside.

If Kyrie is in peak form, they could use him as well.
