 Tonight';s trade deadline rumor is that the Lakers and Magic Johnson are asking what they'd have to give the Pacers for Paul George....

Paul's from LA....family are Laker fans...makes sense..but I doubt Larry would consider it unless PG told him he wanted to be like LBJ and Dwayne Wade and go 'home'

 

....Can you imagine Magic Johnson picking up the phone and calling Larry Bird to ask about trading for his best player. Id love to hear the conversation....

 

I'd love to hear that conversation.  Bird and Magic are actually good buddies.  But they're both extremely competitive.  It'll be fun to see how Bird vs. Magic goes when they're battling in front offices instead of on the court.  If the Lakers give Kobe a call, we should give Reggie Miller a call

[oldunclemark]

ESPN says "Pacers not considering any trade involving Paul George"

 

...for what that's worth

[runthepost]

trade a second rounder and a future second rounder and stucky for  Okafor then trade our first rounder for will Barton in Denver.

I didn't think the 76ers want 2nd round picks..

....They need a vet ..Stuckey would be good for them ..salaries match....they might want Glenn Robinson, too.

 

Will Barton could help us, you're right

That would work. Teague Barton George Young (Turner) and Turner (Okafor) would be a nice lineup

[21isSuperman]

Paul George is saying he's completely focused on the Pacers and he's had great talks with management.  I still think money talks and he'll re-sign in Indy when his contract ends.

Agreed

I'd love to see what Detroit wants for KCP

  Big day.....I think we can add a couple of players...

Trade Deadline 2 CST?

[Colts1324]

I'm a little worried all this talk is getting us excited to get someone decent, but we will end up getting a 7th man for our first round pick. I don't see why we are targeting Okafor or Lopez when Bird has stated he believes Turner is a 5. Allen Crabbe would be a nice pickup to help space the floor. Brandon Knight, Ricky Rubio would both be good 6th man's who we may be able to get without giving up our 1st round pick.

I don't think we get anyone 

[Colts_Fan12]

I would seriously send PG to LA for D'Angelo Russell and Brandon Ingram and the Houston 1st 

[PrincetonTiger]

Trade News(Rumor)

The 76ers have made a move and traded Nerlens Noel for Andrew Bogut

Russell is probably not going to be traded and neither is George. 

[Bluefire4]

It sounds like we are in serious discussions with the Celtics over PG...

 

The Celtics have held preliminary talks with the Pacers about Paul George.

To be clear, the talks have stalled and won't go anywhere unless the Celtics include their 2017 first-round pick (via Brooklyn). George can hit the open market in 2018 and he does have a lot of reported interest in joining his hometown Lakers, so acquiring him would be a risk for Boston without some type of commitment.

 

The Celtics have improved their offer for Paul George, but still haven't met Indiana's asking price.

The Celtics are now willing to include their 2017 first-round pick (via Brooklyn) which will likely be a top-3 selection. It sounds like the two teams are in advanced discussions, but Indiana's asking price is understandably very high. We'll have an update shortly.

True but if LA wants him I would take no less then those 2 just one of Ingram or Russell is not enough imo plus that other first espn said to make it work they would have to send those 2 or Randel plus Calderone and the hou 1st just to make the money work

I'd take a Celtics trade too but like I said I'm extremely high on getting 2 young studs from LA

Just checked a few of my U.K. Sources and it is official

[BigQandTheManiac]

They are really about to trade PG Gentleman.

[aaron11]

what would boston have to give up for PG?

A lot

[PrincetonTiger]

Looks like the Nuggets could be involved

[aaron11]

if it were up to me, the #1 one pick this year would go a long ways towards getting him

 

im in the camp that thinks hes going to leave next year, or that its at least risky enough that i would be willing to trade

 

we need more than just that pick though, maybe another first or a decent player or two

 

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

If we trade PG, we need that Top Pick, Jae Crowder and Avery Bradley or no deal I say.

[PrincetonTiger]

Another 76er trade

 76ers trade Ersan Ilysova to the Hawks for Tiago Splitter

[RockThatBlue]

The Pacers turned down all offers for PG.

Doesn't shock me, I just couldn't see Larry trading him unless we had a deal that really favored us.

Agreed. The nuggets apparently made a big time offer and Bird still turned it down.

Roy Hibbert traded to the nuggets for a second.

[Colts_Fan12]

We will just lose him to FA when he opts out

Poor Roy, he is being passed around like a hot potato now days! So the Pacers didn't make 1 deal I guess? I thought Larry would add someone to help PG out, that is kind of disappointing. Celtics didn't make any moves either to improve which they needed too. They cant beat the Cavs with the Roster they have.

Not really, we can still trade him this summer or by next years Trade deadline. Cant predict what will happen.
