Celtics checking in with Pacers on Paul George

The Boston Celtics have held preliminary talks with the Indiana Pacers about forward Paul George.

What It Means:

Talks have stalled and won't progress unless the Celtics are willing to include Brooklyn's 2017 first-round pick, but Boston is reportedly hesitant to make a deal without some sort of long-term commitment from George. The 26-year-old four-time All-Star is scheduled to become a free agent in 2018 and reports have indicated he is interested in joining his hometown Los Angeles Lakers.

George is averaging 22.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists 1.6 steals and 2.3 3-pointers in 35.7 minutes per game this season. He ranks only sixth among Pacers players and 157th in the NBA with a 0.0 nERD.
