Lakers Rumors: Paul George was vocal in Indiana about playing in LA

The latest Lakers rumors suggest that Paul George isn’t holding back on wanting to play elsewhere.

As we now know, the Cleveland Cavaliers weren’t having as many problems with the Pacers as we thought. It seemed like Indiana had a chance to win three of the four games in the series, but it never came full circle.

Consequently, rumors about Paul George’s reported interest in the Lakers are coming back.

If he were to come to the Lakers, it would be a major shakeup from recent years. Other than Kobe Bryant, the slate of true superstars has been thin.

Dwight Howard, Steve Nash, and others made their way through Los Angeles. In their cases, despite all of the hype, they didn’t pan out to anything special.

Paul George hopes to change that, apparently.

A report from Sporting News admits that getting a guy like Paul George is special.

"Johnson knows it’s rare when a player of George’s talents can be obtained, via a trade or through free agency. It’s not as if he’ll be able to get LeBron, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard or anyone else who’s rated ahead of George."

Knowing that, the next question would be about his fit in Los Angeles. There’s been no real developments in the potential move to LA, but the Pacers’ best player doesn’t seem happy.

One way to know that is by his constant criticism of teammates in the postseason. Instead of trying to rally around the guys he plays with, the blame game comes out.

His talent is undeniable. There’s no questioning his ability to play the game or anything like that, but whether or not he’s the best player for the Lakers in the future is up for debate.
