NBA analyst Bill Simmons has never lacked creativity, and a recent trade idea from the podcaster is one of the latest examples of that.
During a recent episode of his show, Simmons cooked up a scenario where LeBron James would land with the Los Angeles Clippers while Paul George would join the Los Angeles Lakers.
Here’s the solution for all of us with Paul George: a double sign-and-trade with the Lakers,” Simmons said. “LeBron gets to stay in L.A. but he goes to the Clippers to open the new stadium and finish his career there. Paul George gets to finally play with the Lakers after it was blocked by Adam Silver a couple years ago, and finally he gets to be a Laker. And it gets to be him and A.D. (Anthony Davis) and J.J. Redick and we’re off. It’s a new era for the Lakers. Kind of fun.”
