A blockbuster trade rumor made the rounds Thursday night when Sporting News' Mitch Lawrence cited league sources who said the Cleveland Cavaliers, Indiana Pacers and Utah Jazz were discussing a three-team deal that would send Kyrie Irving to Utah and both Paul George and George Hill (via a sign-and-trade) to the defending Eastern Conference champions.
However, that report was quickly refuted by the Salt Lake Tribune's Tony Jones, who heard from sources who said there was "no traction" to rumors Irving could be bound for the Jazz.
