NBA Trade News 2017: Deadline Completed, Markelle Fultz Eyed by Celtics? Paul George Remains With the Pacers
The National Basketball Association (NBA) trade deadline has passed and it appears that the Boston Celtics are planning to put someone in to play alongside Isaiah Thomas. Rumor has it that Markelle Fultz is being eyed by the Celtics.
According to Bleacher Report, the NBA trade 2017 is hot on Fultz's heels. The outlet suggests that the Boston Celtics may finally realize that Fultz is a player that can play alongside Thomas on the court. It is speculated that Fultz's big built and high-level scoring may be a point for the Celtics to take him in.
So far, Fultz's run with the Washington Huskies is the only issue in his resume. However, even if the team fails to win another game, Fultz still has a chance to be taken in by Boston. After all, his talent is believed to be a great addition to the roster if he makes it to the team this year.

It appears that the Los Angeles Lakers are also up for trading. The latest NBA trade rumors suggest that the Lakers may have their eye on Josh Jackson. His gameplay is said to be a good match with Brandon Ingram.
Jackson has proven over the past games that he has some talent in terms of passing and assisting other players in the team. He is also starting to build a name on the scorers list. If the Los Angeles Lakers take him in, it would add to the roster's strength within the court.
Meanwhile, Paul George has not been traded yet. It appears that the Indiana Pacers shooting guard will remain with his team for some more months. According to Sports Illustrated, George is reportedly "hell-bent" on getting inside the Los Angeles Lakers' circle. It appears that he is now ready to move on from the issues he has faced with Indiana.
George is considered by many as one of the most talented players in the NBA. If NBA trade rumors for this year are true, he may get a chance to be picked up by the L.A. Lakers. On the other hand, it remains to be seen how the Pacers will react to the reports that George wants to start playing for the Lakers.
