maybe the pacers heard the jazz were working a deal for porzingis and Larry calls and says he will trade George for porzingis and some other players picks?
jazz trade burks, hood, Burke, lyles and some first round picks
they get George and Calderon
new York trades Calderon and porzingis
new York gets Burks, lyles, Hibbert and the gsw pick.
Indiana trades George and Hibbert
Indiana gets porzingis, hood and Burke plus the okc pick and the jazz pick next year top 3 protected
Utah does this because George will make them contenders. it strips the jazz of a bench but wow what a fun team
Indiana does this because they are going for a sudden rebuild and bird thinks porzingis is a 7-3 young Larry bird. (he is the expert) hood is a developing player that pairs well with the rebuild and the team will run.
new York does this because burks and Hibbert are ready to play now. they wanted lyles and future picks.
