According to ESPN's NBA show tonight, Pacers mentality for making the George trade was:
* No trade to Cavs or Cs unless they could get something bigger than a king's ransom.
* Didn't want him to stay in the East.
* Willing to trade him to any West team not named the Lakers.

Reason they didn't take the Lakers' earlier deal was because they didn't want to make George happy after he tanked his trade value for the team. Same with Cavs and Cs that a Lakers deal only happens if the Lakers would give up a lot more to get him.

Also reported had the Pacers waited a bit till after the Cs got Hayward, they were set to get as a minimum 1 1st Round pick, Marcus Smart, Jae Crowder, and Avery Bradley from the Cs.
