Celtics now willing to include Brooklyn pick for Pacers' Paul George

The Boston Celtics have improved their offer for Indiana Pacers forward Paul George, but still haven't met Indiana's asking price.

What It Means:

The Celtics are now willing to include Brooklyn's coveted and likely top-three 2017 first-round pick. George's price tag is understandably high, but it sounds like the two sides are in advanced discussions to get a potential deal done.

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.
