Paul George told teammates he has dreamed of playing for Lakers
Often playing out of double teams, George did a good job at hitting threes, making 18 in the series. George who was involved in multiple trade talks might be heading his way out of Indiana.
Getting over the hump means defeating LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love in the playoffs while James is on a realistic mission to be the best player of all-time.
Carmelo Anthony’s saga in New York Knicks is far from over.
Recently, he drove an Indy auto in NY with stickers placed on the vehicle to officially announce an All-Star bid in the same state he was born in. Does George beat out Davis?
The column does give reason as to why the Lakers should avoid George as the centerpiece of the current rebuild and cites his treatment of teammates along with other variables, so perhaps it’s with that context those teammates felt comfortable offering up this information. The franchise has 46.9 percentage of chances of retaining their draft picks and will have to wait to see if the balls rebound their way on May 16th when the big annual lottery event takes place. This is also after the 2017 NBA Draft.
If George were to qualify for an All-NBA team, he is eligible for the “Designated Veteran Extension” and the Pacers could offer him a six-year, $US223 million (AU$294 million) contract.
Leonard last season made his debut on the All-NBA first team, while LaMarcus Aldridge was a third-team selection. “You all know me, born and raised, tattoos on my arm”. However, when looking at Paul George’s future, it seems a lot like he’s alluding to leaving the Indiana Pacers in free agency.
So now we get to this offseason.
Bird, an IN native and now the Pacers president, had driven an IndyCar only once before, during his practice for his drive Monday. George has been linked to a lot of trade rumors and he could be on his way out of IN this offseason. With that said, the multiple All-Star might be going home to the Lakers and have a brand new start.
George can opt out of his contract following the 2017-18 season, and the native of Palmdale, California, has always been rumored to have interest in heading to L.A.
Clearly, the Pacers want to get some distance between the emotions of being swept before talking about the future, but a glance at the Pacers roster going forward does not look promising. Among free agents this summer, the best options that could potentially (maybe) be available to IN are Patrick Patterson, Patty Mills, Jonas Jerebko, Nenê and Ersan Ilyasova.
