NBA Rumors: Possible Paul George Trades

Here is a list of several potential teams and packages that  could allow for a Paul George trade this summer 

*Please note these packages are meant to highlight what teams could start conversations with and do not represent the full trade

Lakers - D'angelo Russell, Julius Randle, 2018 (or future) first round pick

George is from LA and has reportedly expressed interested in playing for the Lakers. Trading two young guys could hurt their overall roster, but drafting Lonzo Ball to go with George and Brandon Ingram is a good start.

Celtics - 2018 Nets pick, Jae Crowder, Marcus Smart

Long rumored move. Celtics have plenty of assets and need a star, one to pair with a potential high 2017 rookie.

Suns - Eric Bledsoe, Alex Len, 2018 first round pick 

Pair Paul George with budding superstar Devin Booker, let Tyler Ulis step in at PG, and you have Tyson Chandler at center and Marquis Chriss and Dragon Bender developing at PF.

Heat - Justice Winslow, 2017 first rounder 

Pat Riley is always interested in big stars, but Heat have limited assets for a trade like this.

Nuggets - Emmanuel Mudiay, Wilson Chandler, Will Barton, 2017 first round pick 

Denver has a lot of exciting young players that they can package together. If they chose the above package, that would leave George to play with Jamaal Murray and Nikola Jokic. A very good nucleus.

Clippers - Blake Griffin, Jamal Crawford, first round pick
George has expressed interested in playing for the Lakers, but Clippers play in LA too and are much closer to contention. Plus Chris Paul would be the best teammate George has ever had. Would Indy want Blake Griffin?

Thunder - Andre Roberson, Enes Kanter, 2017 first round pick
OKC would likely need a third team to make this work but George would be an excellent running mate for Russel Westbrook and replace Kevin Durant.
