George was a former teammate of Turner during the 2013-14 season, and didn’t seem to expect any help from the star player, thinking he’s bound to help the Cleveland Cavaliers on their quest for another title.
The Blazers forward later clarified that he was saying it rather out of feel than having factual insider information.
Idk if pg is really going to cleveland. I'm just talkin soooooo don't gas it. Thanksssss 😗

Sometimes players just know other players better than we think.
