Indiana Pacers star Paul George continues to express frustration with Pacers coaching and management. Is he the star Sam Hinkie has been waiting for a chance to pry loose?
It's a familiar refrain here at Liberty Ballers that there's three ways to acquire a star in the NBA -- you sign one, you draft one, or you trade for one.
Normally, we focus on the idea of drafting one, but with the amount of ammo Sixers arms trader Sam Hinkie has stockpiled in his two-plus year tenure, it's time to consider a different route.
With a war chest of young, cheap, and talented players, and enough first round draft picks over the next few seasons to start a family band (you're on triangle, Oklahoma City), the Sixers have the pieces to be a desirable trading partner for any team that has a star player to move when the time comes.
