John Wall trying to recruit Paul George to Wizards

Washington Wizards All-Star guard John Wall told ESPN's The Undefeated that he is recruiting Indiana Pacers small forward Paul George in hopes that he will push for a trade to the nation's capital.

George has no intention of staying with the Pacers beyond the expiration of his current contract in June 2018. The Los Angeles-area native is intrigued by possibly joining the Lakers, sources previously told The Undefeated. The four-time All-Star also is being pursued by the Cleveland Cavaliers in a trade, sources previously told ESPN.
