Report: Celtics could land George if they sign Hayward

Share

As rumors swirl in this post-draft, pre-free agency week for the NBA, Adam Kaufman of 98.5 The Sports Hub reported Friday that the Celtics could land long-rumored target Gordon Hayward AND trade for Paul George. And Kaufman says George would be more than just a one-year rental.

Kaufman elaborated on a possible George deal on his "Celtics @ 7" show Saturday. He said the trade with the Indiana Pacers wouldn't cost Boston next year's Brooklyn pick, rather it would be the first-round pick (Lakers 2018 or Kings 2019) acquired this week from the Philadelphia 76ers when Boston traded down the No. 1 for No. 3, a 2019 first-rounder from the Clippers or Grizzlies, along with Jae Crowder and another salary filler.
