The Boston Herald’s Mark Murphy reported that the Indiana Pacers are hoping to land a king’s ransom in return for their all-star swingman Paul George. Per Murphy’s report:
“A league source said today that the Celtics are waiting to hear back from [Pacer’s GM Kevin] Pritchard, who as of draft night was asking for next year’s Nets' and Lakers' first-round picks, which are both under Celtics control. Pritchard also wants starting-caliber players included in the deal.”
That’s a lot to surrender for a player that would not be guaranteed to be on Boston’s roster beyond the upcoming season.
