George intends to leave the Pacers, prefers Lakers. But I think he may be persuaded by Danny.

Right on **** schedule.

Just listened to Jonathan Givony on the radio. He didn't understand why Boston would do the deal this early and generally felt Philly "won the deal". He also think Lonzo to LA is all but done and thinks the Celtics will decide between Tatum and Jackson but is currently leaning Tatum.

Dummies should've traded him at the Trade Deadline for the Nets picks.

Too far off to say at this point

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.

Report goes on to say he thinks he has a better shot at a title with the Lakers, so if we can score him for a lowball fee (Indy isn't going to get squat for him) and put together a strong playoff run and the Lakers suck again, there's a very strong chance we can retain his services.

The trading price will be so low now, it's worth the risk. Thank you PG-13 and you're agent!! You guys rock!

Nah, this doesn't feel like the rumors that Westbrook and Love liked LA. This sounds different. I'd be very cautious about trading for George. And if Butler is really off the market, we're either going to overpay for him, cue Ainge, "It's hard to get stars in this league", or we're going to do something else. If we max Hayward or Griffin and add Jackson or Tatum, and Zizic, to the mix, it's not a home run given what the potential scenarios are, but it's a bases-clearing double.

There's also a possibility we trade down again, or trade in with different assets to get another pick. But we're still going to be trending upward.

You should be thankful the sixers were dumb enough to give us the extra pick.

Why you ask?

Danny was 100% ready to choose a player at #1 who wasn't fultz, regardless of this deal.

Let that sink in, if you want to complain and bitch and moan.

Any info of who the guy is? JJ or Tatum?

I assume its JJ. Rumour about LA leaning towards JJ a couple of days ago was probably just a Magic tactic to try and break up the BOS-PHI deal...

Now that the deal is done LA seems to be leaning towards Ball again ( who was their pick all along)...

It's Tatum.

-There's no guarantee either Ball or Jackson will be available at 3. Ainge isn't taking that risk.
-A few months ago, Chad Ford reported that 'Some GMs have told them Fultz is #1 on their board.' Ainge has historically leaked info to Ford.
-The smoke screen right now about Jackson is very reminiscent of last year with Dunn. Expect these reports to continue. Then expect us to take Tatum.
-Jackson blew off a workout with us. Historically, Ainge hasn't responded favorably to this. (See: Randle, Julius).
-The two guys Ryan McDonough has brought in twice are Tatum and Isaac. He was raised in the church of Ainge and can be seen as a good proxy for Danny.
-Our workout with Tatum flew under the radar for a reason.

There's a small chance Isaac is our guy, but I've got a strong hunch it's Tatum.

If we keep the 3rd pick I want Tatum, so I can get behind this...

Westbrook will leave OKC next year too and both with George will head to LA.

The DraftExpress guys *love* Fultz. So they obviously think Philly won.

Don't do it, man. I refuse to let myself be all in on anyone anymore. First Durant, then Fultz. Worried about our Hayward aspirations too.

This.

I may not even follow college ball too tough next year. Time for us to just follow the "What happens happens" mantra as Celtics fans :lol:

Hard to believe we went from Fultz to (possibly) Tatum just like that...nice going Danny :banghead:

The beautiful thing about this development is that the Lakers will not be able to sign decent vet free agents to multi-year deals because they need to clear cap to sign PG13. We really do want the Lakers to be lousy again.

Yeah, unless the Lakers get LBJ, there's no way they have a better title shot than the Pacers since their core will take a long time to develop.

Danny getting him now for 30 cents on the dollar would be good IMO

Exactly this. His twitter was filled with tweets about Fultz and late 1st, 2nd rounders. Basically nothing about any other lotto prospects.
