00:00Now, you were critical of the trade when it happened.
00:02So I was live on the air when it happened.
00:03I was very critical of it.
00:05Do you feel differently about that here on November 11th?
00:08Yeah, you have to.
00:10How can you not with how good Paul George has looked?
00:12And that's the thing.
00:13They saw something clearly, especially having played in that series against him,
00:18that he could be a great compliment for Tatum.
00:21Now, this trade is not going to get decided over 10, 11 games.
00:25It's going to take years for this thing to play out.
00:27And there's plenty more matchups to go between the two.
00:30But so far, when you look at the developments between George,
00:33who said in training camp that he was going to start doing things he did
00:36three years ago before the injuries,
00:39and the Clippers basically sinking as a franchise,
00:43and obviously the Celtics are going to own their pick in 2028,
00:48there's just been nothing but good developments on that front.
00:50Now, I think Philadelphia is happy too, right?
00:52They have a loaded roster, and they're going to have a chance to compete in the East.
00:55And they're in the early stages of trying to figure everything out.
00:58But I think if you're the Celtics, you're starting to see the vision early.
01:02And I think for all the people who always say believe in Brad,
01:07he has earned that benefit of the doubt to some degree with most of his moves.
01:10And even though it was hard to understand this one at the time,
01:14you're seeing that in particular,
01:16George is looking to set up Tatum more than Jalen ever did.
01:20And so obviously you wish George was three years younger,
01:23but it's still Paul George,
01:24and you're going to get performances that throw it back to the Indiana,
01:28Oklahoma City days like last night.
01:30Yeah, I agree with you.
