NBA 2016-2017 season [復制鏈接]

All-Star forward Paul George has informed the Indiana Pacers that he plans to become a free agent in the summer of 2018 and will leave the franchise – preferably for the Los Angeles Lakers, league sources told The Vertical.

George hasn’t requested a trade before he can opt out of his 2018-19 contract, but did have his agent, Aaron Mintz, tell new Indiana president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard that he wanted to be forthright on his plans and spare the franchise any confusion about his intentions, league sources told The Vertical.

George can sign a four-year deal worth as much as $130 million with Los Angeles next year. George is a Southern California native and playing for the Lakers would represent a homecoming for him.

George plans to play out the 2017-18 season with Indiana, but wants to give the organization the chance to plan appropriately for its future – which George told the team won’t include him, league sources said.

Sources: Indiana's Kevin Pritchard engaging teams on trading Paul George, but so far, not Lakers. There's a rental market, but how robust?

Story updated with Pacers beginning trade talks for 'rentals' on Paul George, including contact with .... Cleveland.

Sense from teams talking to IND is that Pacers intend to move fast on a PG deal.

Pacers asking teams for ideas on potential PG trades, per sources, as they have for a while. Ideally: 2 firsts+starter. Teams obv skittish.

Process will likely accelerate going into Draft, but no certainty anything will get done by then

The Celtics-Sixers trade completed. Sixers drafting #1 and Celtics #3 with a 2018 first likely coming the latter's way.

The Cavaliers, per league sources, have been working today on assembling multi-team trade scenarios to try to acquire Chicago's Jimmy Butler

The Cavs obviously have to rope in at least one more team to provide the assets Chicago would surely demand but, sources say, are trying.

Sources: Cavs targeting Chauncey Billups to become president of basketball operations

After the departure of general manager David Griffin, Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert is targeting Chauncey Billups to become the franchise’s president of basketball operations, league sources told The Vertical.

Gilbert and Billups will meet soon to discuss the job and a potential deal, league sources told The Vertical.

In this scenario, Billups would hire a general manager with the day-to-day front office experience that he doesn’t have on his résumé, league sources said.

Gilbert and Griffin parted ways Monday, just one year after Griffin was hailed as one of the architects of the Cavaliers’ NBA championship. One source involved in the talks between Gilbert and Griffin told The Vertical that they “just couldn’t agree on the future.”

Griffin’s contract was set to expire on June 30. Trent Redden, an assistant GM, is departing, too. Assistant GM Koby Altman remains with the franchise, sources said.

Billups, a television analyst, has a strong relationship with Gilbert and Cavaliers coach Ty Lue. Gilbert and Billups, 40, became friendly in the former All-Star guard’s years with the Detroit Pistons. Billups has no front-office experience, but recently interviewed for the Atlanta Hawks GM job. His strong reputation as a leader has moved him into consideration to become a front-office executive.

Billups was a five-time All-Star in his 17 NBA seasons and won the Finals MVP in the Pistons’ 2004 championship season. He retired in 2014.

Cleveland lost to Golden State in five games in the NBA Finals and has been working to reshape the roster to compete with the Warriors. Cavaliers superstar LeBron James can be a free agent in the summer of 2018, and the franchise is working to keep him in Cleveland.
