2 major players on my roster with undetermined injury rehabs dictates an early move towards acquiring assets for the future. Paul George’s contract is large and a hindrance towards building for the future. Hachimura is a rising young player whose production will get better as his minutes increase. 2 1st round picks and a 2nd are building blocks for future acquisitions. Thanks New Orleans for the good negotiations.

New Orleans accepts.

I've been holding on to some cap space to make a move towards the trade deadline, but Paul George fits the bill in terms of the categories I need to hopefully push me over the top. I do have some nervousness around his injury history, and I may need some further trades before 2022 to manage within my cap next year, but it feels worth the risk.

[Walker (Newark GM)]

I think Hachimura will be good. Nice move for NO going for it this year. Win/win
