Lakers rumors: Should the team pursue superstar?

Paul George

The Pacers are one of the new-look teams that has been making bigger transitions over the past few seasons. Most notably, the team sent George Hill to Utah and acquired Jeff Teague.

While Indiana is still very much in the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference, there’s a chance they could part ways with Paul George.

George’s name carries the most weight of any of the stars named so far. He would fit rather snug at forward, giving rookie Brandon Ingram more room to go.

The way that the Lakers could get a blockbuster deal for someone like George is simple — they’d have to go all in.

You could argue they’d have to do the same with Cousins, but for George they’d probably have to give out draft picks. Not only that, but forward Nick Young would probably have to be in the conversation too.

Not ideal, but possible.

That’s all the Lakers need to hear right now.
