Silver Screen and Roll on the Lakers and Paul George:
Nabbing a premium player like Paul George would make an immediate impact, but whether the Pacers would have any interest in moving their franchise cornerstone who's under contract through 2019 (player option) is questionable. That's where the "other" pieces bit comes in, and the Lakers do have attractive options to serve on a platter. Julius Randle, D'Angelo Russell and Jordan Clarkson could all be desirable targets for Indiana to package with a top pick and Myles Turner, but how far would either side be willing to go?
Paul George is a great player, and I was really happy to see him come back from that awful leg injury. But the idea of the Lakers trading possibly a top 2 pick and last year's number 2 pick? There are maybe three players in the league that you do that for. None of them are named Paul George.
