Talk:Paul George

Trade to the Los Angeles Clippers

After 2018-2019 Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard signed with the Clippers, George requested a trade from the OKC Thunder, which was then accepted. In the trade, the Thunder received point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, small forward Danilo Gallinari, the Miami Heat's 2021 first round pick (Owned by the Clippers), the Clippers 2022, 2024, and 2026 first round picks all unprotected, a lottery protected 2023 pick, and 2023 and 2025 pick swaps. The Clippers on the other hand, only received George. --2kKainDark (talk) 09:16, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

@2kKainDark: The trade is based off of anonymous sources. Please wait until the trade is completed and a team or league source announces it on the record. You can refer to WP:SPORTSTRANS for more details. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 09:56, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

--Why is there absolutely nothing in the profile regarding this trade, though? Couldn't there be a simple sentence in his bio that says something like, "According to numerous sources, Paul George has been traded to the Los Angeles Clippers"? These aren't just rumors -- this trade is likely happening and no mention of it at all is needlessly protective. --Lasalleexplorer (talk) 19:48, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

@Lasalleexplorer: Most editors just do the simple infobox and lead changes, and not the slightly more complex prose with citiation. Be bold and do it.—Bagumba (talk) 20:10, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Paul George actually led the league in minutes along with Bradley Beal in the 2018-19 season. Should have an * with the background blue. Breadmachines (talk) 23:40, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi Asilvering. Sorry. I don't think so. Lots of personal upheaval in my life. Bit off more than I could chew. — GhostRiver 18:27, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Personal life

• As mentioned below, Sportskeeda is not a reliable source. Please just use the People magazine reference to talk about his wife
• Rather than the link to the Apple Podcasts page, I'd use a third-party source (like this Athletic article to discuss his podcast
• Link Nike to Nike, Inc.
• George signed with Nike in his rookie season and had his first signature shoe debut in 2017 with the line ending in 2022. In January 2024, George stated the Nike would retro release his earlier models in the future. → George signed with Nike as a rookie and had a signature footwear and apparel line from 2017 to 2022. In 2024, George announced that Nike would re-release his earlier sneaker models.

Removed unreliable source and included the athletic article about his podcast. Hyperlinked Nike and fixed sentence cohesion about his shoeline. Thanks for the feedback! - fiveXdollars

References

• The link to George's NBA.com profile is broken, please use this one
• The reference formatting is a mess and needs to be standardized. For instance, ESPN references are at times listed as "ESPN," ESPN.com", and "espn.go.com"
• Many references are incomplete, including a stretch from 64 to 72.
• Per MOS:ALLCAPS, any references listed in all caps should be changed to title case
• SBNation and Sportskeeda are not reliable sources. Neither are Twitter or Bleacher Report.
• You absolutely cannot use a caption from a Wikimedia Commons article as a source.

Links are standardized, live/archived and no longer incomplete. Unreliable sources have been replaced. Confused about ALLCAPS, can you provide an example of a title that needs to be changed? Thanks in advanced! - fiveXdollars

Other comments

• As failed GAN is over ten years old, I will not be measuring this one against that one
• Earwig copyvio score looks good, mostly picking up proper nouns
• No major stability concerns, only general updates
• Photos are properly licensed and relevant to the article
