The Oklahoma City Thunder have traded for Paul George from the Indiana Pacers for a package including Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis.

The Pacers have been attempting to trade George after he informed management he intended to leave the franchise in 2018 to join the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers, Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers were amongst the teams attempting to trade for George.

According to Jeff Goodman, the Celtics' offer on draft night for George was three first round picks (not Brooklyn's or the Lakers/Kings pick) and two starters (including Jae Crowder).

While discussing a trade with the Indiana Pacers for Paul George, the Boston Celtics have not yet included Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Brooklyn's 2018 first round pick or the 2018 Lakers' pick/2019 Kings pick in their offers.

Boston is reluctant to trade for George knowing he could be a one-year rental.

Indiana is reportedly seeking both the Brooklyn and Lakers/Kings pick from the Celtics for George, as well as starting player(s). Some combination of Jae Crowder, Marcus Smart and Avery Bradley will likely be offered.

The Celtics have become famously reluctant to trade away any of their best assets and Danny Ainge has even suggested their impressive asset depth has caused teams to unfairly ask them for too much in trade discussions.

The Washington Wizards have interest in executing a sign-and-trade of Otto Porter for Paul George. Washington would sent a protected pick to the Indiana Pacers as well.

Porter would have to agree to the deal in restricted free agency.

John Wall has reportedly been recruiting George to the Wizards.

Washington has had interest in making a more dramatic move to take the next step after their second round exits in three out of the past four seasons.

The Indiana Pacers have hired Chad Buchanan as general manager. Buchanan will work under Kevin Pritchard, who is president of basketball operations.

Buchanan and Pritchard previously worked together with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Buchanan joined the Charlotte Hornets as assistant general manager in 2014.

The Blazers elevated Buchanan to general manager for one season following the departure of Rich Cho.

The Boston Celtics consider the Indiana Pacers' most recent trade demand for Paul George to be unrealistic. 

The Celtics are reportedly interested in trading for George if they are able to sign Gordon Hayward in free agency.

Kevin Pritchard is asking the Celtics for the Brooklyn Nets' 2018 first round pick as well as the Los Angeles Lakers' 2018 first round pick, plus starting player(s).

George can be a free agent in 2018 and is not certain to re-sign with the Celtics as he's signaled a preference to play for the Lakers.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Lakers are also interested in trading for George this offseason.

The New York Knicks have interest in signing Jeff Teague now that Phil Jackson is out as president.

With Jackson no longer involved with the Knicks, they figure to move away from the triangle offense.

The Knicks had trade talks with the Atlanta Hawks on Teague two years ago.

New York also drafted point guard Frank Ntilikina last week.

Paul George is open to re-signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers if he's traded there this offseason and LeBron James chooses to remain there next summer.

While George has preferred to end up with the Los Angeles Lakers, he is prudent enough to not leave an opportunity to compete for a title with the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers are attempting to come up with a three-way trade scenario involving Kevin Love that results in a trade for George.

George also feels the same way if he's traded to the Boston Celtics or San Antonio Spurs.

The Lakers have limited assets to trade to the Indiana Pacers for George even with the commitment that he'll re-sign.

The Houston Rockets are still attempting to acquire a third star following their trade for Chris Paul.

The Rockets have been in pursuit of a trade for Paul George.

"They think they are getting Carmelo or Paul George," said a source to Tim MacMahon.

The Boston Celtics have an increasing level of confidence in their ability to sign Paul George to a contract extension.

George has been believed to prefer to join the Los Angeles Lakers either via trade or in the offseason of 2018.

The Celtics' belief they can turn George into more than a one-year rental has them increasingly willing to part with significant assets to the Indiana Pacers.

The Pacers could allow George to speak to potential suitors about a contract extension, though that permission has yet to be granted.

The Boston Celtics are seeking a commitment from Gordon Hayward before they can finalize a trade for Paul George.

The Pacers may be unwilling to wait until the start of free agency to agree upon a trade and could look elsewhere with their George trade talks.

The Celtics will need to maneuver their roster and unload salaries but they have contingencies in place.

If Boston can't secure a deal with Hayward, they could instead sign Blake Griffin and then trade for George.
