Already being discussed in the Official off season thread and DPG opened a thread downstairs, but you just can't resist the attention-whoring, no?
Deuce just merge or cancel this ..

Isn't this like last week's news ?

Not of this "source" is right. There have been a lot of rumors, but this says that George has told Pacers' management straight up that he plans to leave. Says he will play out this season in Indy, but if you're the Pacers that means you've got to try and get something for trading him now. And if he really said that he specifically wants to go to the Lakers, that makes him more difficult to trade anywhere else. That's a piss poor thing to do to teammates, if nothing else. I don't know about the other threads, but this is brand new news I think.

Another thought - why isn't it tampering for a player to do something like this? A team can't send a message to a player that way. Seems like a player shouldn't be able to send a message to a team.

And Nba.com says he commited to be a Pacer, I thought that was crazy, I´d rather be with the Lakers than the Pacers.

Was posted new today 1 hour 50 minutes before I posted

Spurs talk thinking right now,"I'd trade Fathead, Forbes, and our second this year. We can start Murray...." lol

They could actually offer a pretty good deal imo and shed salary.

[buttsR4rebounding]

So do you think Indiana can get a1st round pick for him?

[picnroll]

Cleveland pick would have to be pretty far out to have any value. Paul, Irving, Lebron and fillers would be pretty compe ive with GS. Might increase very slightly Spurs chances of getting CP3 if he ever wants to whiff a chance at a ring.

[BatManu20]

PG to the Cavs confirmed.

[Spurtacular]

I love the PG did a commercial with him throwing up a game winning shot and turning and walking away before it goes in. Given that he's like zero for seventeen in those scenarios in real NBA games

Spurs should get into the mix. Offer Aldridge and whatdver else is needed to get the attention of the Pacers. Goerge's is good budies with Kawhi too, that could also help.

Yeah I'd talk to George and gauge interest, and if there is any I'd immediately offer Aldridge.

[SURGE]

SPURS should trade Aldridge and Parker for PG n sign CP3

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Hope the Spurs are doing something about anything...

[Strategic]

He can't beat em, they won't let him join them. Might as well go for the party life then.

[cd98]

The answer is obvious. Trade for PG. Sign George Hill. And start all three with Bertans when we play the Pacers.

[DAF86]

Paul George would be a bigger get than Chris Paul, tbh.

[tholdren]

Send em lma and pau

[Spursfanfromafar]

Aldridge would be coveted by Nate McMillan but the Spurs would be left with no useful big man.
