I know it's not very likely, but watched a couple of Pacers game recently, he just doesn't look very aggressive at all. Maybe he's unhappy about how this Pacers roster has turned out?
Bird said they want to keep PG, and PG has a lot of $ reason's to stay, but the fact is, PG's career in Pacers have been going downhill for a few years, they used to compete with LBJ in the conference finals, now they stuck in no man's land, PG is in his prime now, but Miles Turner is still too young.
George can jump out of his contract in the summer of 2018, so if the Pacers feels he doesn't want to stay, they'll have to trade him before 2017-2018 season.
He's basically on the same level as Jimmy Butler, if he's available, do you think he's worth the 2017 Nets pick + another non-Nets pick + Crowder and fillers? The Pacers can rebuild around Turner and whoever they draft in 2017, and Celtics get a semi superstar who's 1 year younger than Butler and naturally plays 3.
