That's what I figured but are the Pacers even going to make the playoffs? The only way that would be a concern would be if George signed a long term deal with the Celtics which could happen.The Celtics were a # 1 seed with a # 1 overall draft choice and enough cap space to hand out a max contract plus they have multiple first round picks over the next few years.That's a pretty rare alignment of the NBA planets.Boston traded Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to the Nets, a team in their own division.And got draft picks 4 or 5 years down the road as Danny Ainge knew the Celtics needed a rebuild and he figured any Nets success would be short lived given the ages of their stars,although I think even he was surprised at how quickly they fell apart. The point being, sometimes you gotta roll the dice and go against the conventional wisdom.
