[Senator Clay Davis]

Swapping George for DeRozan the last two years might actually have the Raps in the 5-8 seed range, so the "he brings it better in the playoffs" argument ignores that unless he's playing at a Jordan level, he can't get his team out of the first round because his teams get bad seeding. George and DeRozan are not any different in that you need a "Big 3" type team around them. Neither of them are at the level of a LeBron or Harden or Durant or Kawhi, the true elite level type players. If you want to win a title with either of them, you'd prefer they are the #2 option on your team.
