The reports have it that Chicago Bulls could overhaul their lineup by acquiring Indiana Pacers' Paul George. However, Bulls have to let go three of their players to have Pacers' three-time NBA All-Star.
If Bulls is desperate to have Paul George, they can send Doug McDermott, Denzel Valentine, Jimmy Butler and a first-rounder draft next year to Pacers. Per the report, this trade is an even deal.
Jimmy Butler will be a great addition to the already strong roster of Indiana Pacers. Butler could provide Pacers its leadership skills. Meanwhile, Denzel Valentine and Doug McDermott can add versatility to the team.
As for Chicago Bulls, Inquisitr suggested that they could have a starting lineup of Rajon Rondo, Dwayne Wade, Taj Gibson, Robin Lopez and Paul George. George can provide the team a reliable defense on the court.
However, it is still unconfirmed if Chicago Bulls and Indiana Pacer are really into this trade. For Pacers, it can't be denied that Paul George did well for the team. He averaged 23.1 points, 4.1 assists and 7 rebounds in the last NBA season.
