    Yes! George didn't make the All NBA team. It wouldve meant the Pacers could pay him 4mil per year more than any other squad. Over a 5 year span instead of 4 years.

    In missing the squads, George won’t be eligible for a five-year extension with his Indiana Pacers squad, starting this summer, with his yearly salary equaling 35 percent of his team’s cap. The 2018 free agent could have signed a massive deal to stay in Indiana through 2023, and his absence from the squad in spite of 23.7-point. 6.6-rebound averages and an All-Star appearance could cost him in upwards of $70 million.

    With their hometown advantage lessened, Indiana might look to trade George rather than sit out his impending 2018 free agency (a 2018 All-NBA inclusion could trigger the same extension opportunities), a franchise-altering decision made in a spring that has already seen team president Larry Bird walk away from lead dog duties.

      Paul George did not make an All-NBA team on Thursday.
      This is bad news for the Pacers. If George did earn the All-NBA distinction, the Pacers could've tried to sign him to a super-max deal worth $207 million over five years. Now, the Pacers won't have much of an edge to bring him back compared to the other teams. This news makes it even more likely George is gone next summer, so the Pacers may also be dropping their asking price in a trade.

        I hope the Celtics make that mistake......now we just need Magic to use his championship rings like a set of brass knucles. :lol:

            His defense will take years and he has an ugly shot but I'm very impressed with the kid

              Lebron is now LA-bron.

              Signed to a 4 yr, $154M contract. I don't know, I still dislike the guy, at least his uninformed comments, but love the play.

                He now has a real mentor. His learning curve just accelerated.

                  It'll be interesting to see the roster they surround him with. Also, if they do trade for Kawhi or wait a year

                      And Lance Stephenson, and JaVale McGee.

                      Rondo and Stephenson don't like James, and McGee is considered a boneheaded basketball player.

                      Great, now they have a flammable locker room, and a not so smart big man complementing James.

                      What....the.....hell?

                        Now, let's add to that...seems Dwight Howard wants to rejoin the Lakers.

                        Wonder what LABron thinks about that?!?! He already asked for Stephenson, and Rondo....does he also want Howard?

                        Weird way to build a championship team.

                          F Howard. Maybe the worst free agent pickup ever by the Lakers.
