6+ min ago (263+ words) After the now-infamous Paul George trade between the Thunder and Clippers showed the perils of giving away the farm for a singular player, the price of Giannis Antetokounmpo has dropped far below market value. Sam Quinn of CBS Sports wrote an excellent feature on how the Paul George trade has come back to bite the Milwaukee Bucks (in multiple ways). After the trade, the Clippers never came close to the NBA Finals, and the era would end in infamy. "Playoff P" turned to "Pandemic P."

Moore made his comments during debate on a Senate resolution last year honoring Ralston by allowing a building on the University of North Georgia's campus to be named for the late lawmaker. In late November, Greene stunned the…...
