Lakers Trade Two and They Might Trade More Before the Draft

They don't have many assets to work with when it comes to facilitating a trade for George, but they do have Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, both of whom are All-Stars who would fit in well with the team's up-and-coming center Myles Turner.

The Los Angeles Lakers are seemingly poised to get Paul George one way or another.

Paul George's time with Indiana Pacers appears over, but the question remains which team will trade for George. That could force the Pacers to push their asking price down after resisting significant offers from the Boston Celtics at the trade deadline in February.

Getting Paul George for Kevin Love would not be a bad thing due to the fact the type of player that George is. George could be the piece they need to overcome the Golden State Warriors (who have some major free agency decisions to make themselves). He's close friends with LeBron James, he's sick of losing to him in the playoffs and the Cavaliers can nearly guarantee him a trip to the NBA Finals next season. The Cavaliers only won one game in the Finals and by adding George it would help the team. The Warriors have Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green all as effective players for them. The Lakers are hoping to flip the No. 27 overall pick, the No. 28 overall pick, Julius Randle, and Jordan Clarkson for George.

The difference between Love and George is the X's and O's on how LeBron would play with them. In return, not only do they get two really good players, but they are all of a sudden much deeper. "I am under contract and I intend to play", said George at a charity softball game. The Pacers are reportedly discussing trade scenarios with several teams after George said that he plans to leave the Pacers when he becomes a free agent in July 2018. It's also possible another team enters the conversation in the coming months.
