Jul 10, 2019 — Lawrence Frank

The decision this board surrounds ultimately brought in Paul George. Later outcomes never rewrite the board.

LAC on 2019-07-10: the governed pre-decision team-need layer did not support a target-fit conclusion. 1 player(s) were publicly on the market, but none had a source linking this team to them. 0 open-market candidate(s) matched at least one listed need. Market access, basketball fit, price, salary route, and legality remain separate.

Why is he here?

Paul George: Paul George was on the public trade market, but no source linked LAC to him. The team-need comparison was not supported. The minimum outgoing-salary screen was available for a $33,005,556 incoming charge. Exact transaction legality remains withheld without a complete package and exception ledger.

Historical decision board. A public-market player is not presented as a team target without a named team link. Minimum outgoing salary is not exact legality. Missing asking price is not a zero price. Later outcomes do not alter the decision-date board.
