There is also a close relationship between Bird and George. Bird may know that the best move for the franchise is trading PG13, and simply does not want to be the person to make that move.I guess he knows George is good as gone and he doesn't have the motivation for it anymore, especially for a incoming tank. Bird was probably hoping for those Nets picks...
Pacers are at the end of mediocre street.
LeBron owns that franchise.
When they peaked, the Pacers were damn good and built that team in an unconventional way without top lottery picks or huge FA signings.
Hibbert(when he was good), David West, George Hill, George, Stephenson.
Just the unfortunate outcome of being in LeBron's world.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Lakers offer Ingram, a future first, one of Clarkson or Nance, and salary filler.So...... what's the going rate for a Paul George these days?
