FWIW - Says Cs would be a better fit because they have stronger leaders in IT and Horford for PG who is a PITA. I do think that his allegedly oft-stated explicit desire to play for the Lakers probably hasn't played well with Pacer players and management.

Meh...normal ..basketball logic is not part of building Lakers contender . .The fans , TV billionaires ,  celebrities,  want him there.......Lavar  Ball paradise......CP3 TV ....all this is Priority #1. Big names to drop.   Having a three ring media circus daily

They are about instant gratification. 

It's about Stars and TV money out The wazoo.  NBA is in on it too......

Lakers are about being hip , selling kids shoes , and kardashians .....if George wants that scene and apparently he does now .....

Johnson will max him in a sec.

The article seems to take the angle that George is a personality problem but only gives examples from this season and only very recent examples. I think he's had a frustrating year and hasn't been at his best but I don't think of him as a problem guy.

I also like him as a guy who could slip in and play well next to Isaiah and Horford if he could get got this summer. I'd be confident that group could get him to stay after next year.

Assuming he price is right, of course.
