Sources: Indiana's Kevin Pritchard engaging teams on trading Paul George, but so far, not Lakers. There's a rental market, but how robust?

 

All-Star forward Paul George has informed the Indiana Pacers that he plans to become a free agent in the summer of 2018 and will leave the franchise – preferably for the Los Angeles Lakers, league sources told The Vertical.

 

George hasn’t requested a trade before he can opt out of his 2018-19 contract, but did have his agent, Aaron Mintz, tell new Indiana president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard that he wanted to be forthright on his plans and spare the franchise any confusion about his intentions, league sources told The Vertical.

 

In the past 24 hours, Pritchard has become more aggressive in pursuing trades for George, league sources told The Vertical. Pritchard has yet to show an inclination to engage the Lakers, but has discussed deals with several teams – including Cleveland – in which the expectation of teams would be that George is a “one-year rental.” It is unclear how robust those offers to Indiana will ultimately be, given that teams believe he will sign with the Lakers next summer. So far, Indiana is asking for a substantial package of talent and draft picks for George, league sources said. Discussions could extend until Thursday’s NBA draft – or beyond.

 

George can sign a four-year deal worth as much as $130 million with Los Angeles next year. George is a Southern California native and playing for the Lakers would represent a homecoming for him.

 

George plans to play out the 2017-18 season with Indiana, but wants to give the organization the chance to plan appropriately for its future – which George told the team won’t include him, league sources said.

 

George’s desire to join the Lakers has massive repercussions on the free-agent market in 2018. Under president Magic Johnson and general manager Rob Pelinka, George would represent the first NBA star in years to choose the Lakers in free agency. As Los Angeles’ management reshapes its roster, George could be a lure to recruit other top available players to the Lakers.

 

Between then and now, the pressure will mount for the Pacers to formulate a trade with the Lakers in the near future, because the risk of losing a star of George’s stature for nothing next summer is potentially devastating. If management takes George at his word about wanting to join the Lakers in 2018, it may be cornered into making the best possible trade it can with Los Angeles now, squeezing whatever value out of the Lakers that Indiana can acquire in a deal for George.

 

The Pacers could bring back young players – such as forward Julius Randle, for example – and future draft assets to make a deal for George now, if the two teams are so inclined.

 

Nevertheless, the Lakers can create the necessary salary-cap space to sign George next summer and won’t be compelled to make a dramatic offer to Indiana now.

 

Indiana’s ability to find a trade for George elsewhere has become increasingly limited, if not crippled, because NBA teams believe that it’s George’s intention to eventually sign with the Lakers as a free agent in 2018.

 

Because George wasn’t named to an All-NBA team this spring, Indiana lost out on the chance to offer him a five-year, $207 million Designated Player Veteran Exception. Indiana can offer George a five-year, $177 million extension.

 

George, 27, averaged 23.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 2016-17, leading Indiana to the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Pacers lost a first-round series to the Cleveland Cavaliers in four games. George is a four-time All-Star and one of the best two-way players in the world. He was part of the 2016 USA Olympic gold medal team, just two years after suffering a broken leg.

 

The Pacers’ inability to maintain a contending roster has played a part in George’s belief that he has a better chance for championship contention by joining the Lakers, league sources said. After reaching the Eastern Conference finals in consecutive years – 2013 and 2014 – the Pacers have slowly had a talent drain that included the decline and loss of Roy Hibbert and the departures of David West and George Hill. George had a close relationship with the architect of those Pacers teams, Larry Bird, who recently stepped down as team president to become a franchise consultant.

The Cavaliers, per league sources, have been working today on assembling multi-team trade scenarios to try to acquire Chicago's Jimmy Butler

 

wtf

Suns are another team to watch, per source.K.C. Johnson

Butler nos Cavs seria o fim da macacada e vai contra tudo o que a NBA deveria ser. Mas esses tempos tb já lá vão, hoje msm na NBA os melhores só querem jogar com os melhores...os jogadores dos anos 90 e para trás até devem dar cabeçadas na parede.

 

Que vá para Minnesota que lá tem um treinador....

 

O mais importante para o Butler é que saia da porcaria que está instalada nos Bulls, que pense nele e no melhor para ele, porque merece mais do que estar no meio de tanta gente incompetente.

 

Obivamente, seja que negócio se realizar, toda a gente sabe que os Bulls vão ficar a perder. Isso é certinho, serão comidos bastante facilmente.

[OntheRadio]

Os Wolves provavelmente devem oferecer a 7th pick + LaVine. Mas não excluo a hipótese do Wiggins ser atirado lá para o meio. Não está a ter a evolução esperada e o Zach está com um hype desgraçado.

Que seja Lavine + pick em vez de metermos o Wiggins ao barulho.

But it nonetheless leaves the franchise in limbo at the worst possible time: w LeBron a free agent in ’18 & team needing roster upgrade now.

Griffin was elbow deep today, as late as an hour ago, working to put together a monster deal to get Jimmy Butler from Chicago.

Dan Gilbert didn't consult with LeBron James prior to parting with David Griffin, sources said. James had advocated for Griffin extension

Ao que parece, a comitiva do Paul George já avisou que todos os franchises que tentarem a troca por ele estão basicamente a "alugá-lo" por um ano. A intenção dele é em 2018 ir mesmo para os Lakers.

[Taka]

Por isso é que não nos compensa ir já buscar o PG e perder alguns jovens que temos na equipa. Mais vale deixar-nos estar quietos e esperarmos um ano para ficarmos com um núcleo duro assim:

 

D'Angelo

Clarkson

Ingram

Ball

Paul George

Randle

[pedrituh_9]

Já se fala que estão a acenar com o D'Angelo para ter outra top-12 pick.

Sources: Pau Gasol will decline his $16.2M option for 2017-18, but intends to work with Spurs on a longer term deal to remain with team.

 

For the Spurs, this is a way to get salary cap relief on the 2017-18 roster. Gasol will return on a smaller annual salary.

During David Griffin's final hours as general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers, he found a team in the lottery willing to trade for Kevin Love in exchange for their lottery pick.

 

Griffin was shopping that lottery pick in hopes of trading for either Jimmy Butler or Paul George.

 

According to sources, that team was the Phoenix Suns at No. 4.

 

wtf Suns.

Adrian Wojnarowski‏ @WojVerticalNBA

Sources: As teams become aware Phil Jackson isn't ruling out possibility of trading Kristaps Porzingis, frenzy of interest is growing today.

Love pela 4ª pick, trocava de olhos fechados se fosse os Suns.

[MylittlePony]

Love pela 4ª pick, trocava de olhos fechados se fosse os Suns.

Porque?

[Hugo Jr.]

Tendo em conta as poucas probabilidades de sacar um jogador com a qualidade do Love com a 4ª pick, se fosse os Suns nem pensava duas vezes. Pode não encaixar bem na timeline do core mais jovem mas assentava que nem uma luva na equipa.

Já era esperado. Vai fazer opt-out e re-sign por um valor mais baixo e permitir a continuidade do Iguodala.

Lakers are trading Tim Mozgov and D'Angelo Russell to Nets for Brook Lopez and 27th pick Thursday, sources say.

[Carson Wentz]

Vinha agora aqui pôr isso.

[Carmelo Anthony]

Os Lakers estão a abrir espaço para 2018 mas desistiram demasiado cedo do DLo para tal. Bom para os Nets!

[Taka]

Também já tinha postado no tópico do draft. Não faz sentido nenhum ver-nos livres do Russell assim. Ainda vai mais do que a tempo de dar jogador.

 

No entanto, se dúvidas havia, vamos pickar o Ball. E vamos atrás do Lebron e do Paul George

 

Adrian Wojnarowski‏Conta @WojVerticalNBA 28 seg

 

For the Lakers, this is longer-term play to clear space for Paul George and LeBron James pursuit. Lonzo Ball on way at No.2
