Paul George wants the Los Angeles Lakers.But  the Indiana Pacers, more than anything else, wanted out from under what  could have been that year-long, courtship-from-afar of its best player.  So that’s what the Pacers got Friday evening.George was to be  dealt to the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to Ramona Shelburne of  ESPN.com and assorted other reports. In return, the Pacers were expected  to receive guard Victor Oladipo and forward Domantas Sabonis. 

 The Chicago Bulls have waived veteran point guard Rajon Rondo.The  Bulls bought out Rondo for $3 million Friday rather than exercise a  $13.4 million option for next season. He signed a two-year deal to come  to Chicago last summer. 

 Minnesota traded Ricky Rubio to Utah for a 2018 first-round pick (originally belonging to Oklahoma City).
