Paul George to the Lakers Trade Idea Proposed

The LA Clippers have yet to reach a contract extension agreement with Paul George, which has added fuel to the speculation that the nine-time All-Star will consider other options this summer. While the likeliest scenario continues to be George wearing a Clippers jersey next season, the lack of an extension has opened the door to other possibilities. In a recent article from Bleacher Report's Greg Swartz, a hypothetical Paul George to the Lakers trade was proposed. The deal would send George and P.J. Tucker to the Lakers in exchange for Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, D'Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt, 2024 or 2025 first-round pick.
