This kind of media rumor was inevitable, as soon as Magic took over the Lakers. I don't know if the Lakers have the resources to get George right now, nor whether Larry has decided to trade him. Okafor might be a more attainable target.
Ainge has a real mess on his hands, with the trade deadline collapsing quickly. He's got George and Butler and even Drummond to consider. Plus Bogut or Okafor.
Ainge has to come away with at least Bogut. A rebounding upgrade is essential for the playoffs.
Bogut is perfect for that if they can keep him healthy.
