The NBA trade rumor mills this season are becoming unexpected and surprising, which only promises a more interesting gameplay. For those who want to know the recent updates, according to reports, Los Angeles Lakers are willing to give up D'Angelo Russell and Julius Randle to acquire Indiana Pacers small forward Paul George.
Paul George is slowly dominating the NBA trade rumors. According to reports, the player could be joining another team in the next season. The player will be hitting the free agency soon, so Indiana Pacers are looking for ways to trade Paul George instead of losing him in the free agency market.
Per Sports Rageous, Los Angeles Lakers are trying to improve their roster and the team is eyeing for Indiana Pacers' Paul George. The reports have it that George will add the on-court defensive skills that Lakers need to put up high scores.
However, acquiring Paul George will not be easy for LA Lakers as it could mean losing key players. Per the report, Lakers could offer D'Angelo Russell, Julius Randle and their first future round pick to convince Larry Bird to pursue the trade.
The report suggests another way to acquire Paul George and have him play immediately for Los Angeles Lakers and that is to send Brandon Ingram to Indiana Pacers. Will this trade convince Pacers?
Meanwhile, other sources claim that Indiana Pacers is in no way trading Paul George unless it is for Golden State Warriors' small forward Kevin Durant. Pacers can't afford to lose George unless it is a far better player than George.
However, if Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry's tandem work well, both superstars might remain in the Warriors. If not, Durant might reconsider to join another team in the NBA league.
On a side note, there are rumors that Indiana Pacers will not get rid of Paul George but will acquire Kevin Durant to play alongside with him. If Pacers will be successful in getting Kevin Durant play with George then this might strengthen their grip on their next NBA title.
Will Indiana Pacers trade Paul George to Philadelphia 76ers for D'Angelo Russell and Julius Randle or they want to have Brandon Ingram instead? Will Pacers be able to sign Kevin Durant and have him play with George? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
