Guards: D'Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson, Rookie No. 1 Wings: Paul George, Brandon Ingram, Rookie No. 2 Bigs: Julius Randle, Larry Nance Jr.
But other teams know how much George loves the Los Angeles Lakers, his hometown team, and should be wary of chasing a player who could be bound for Hollywood next summer.
George's succinct message might satisfy Pacers fans temporarily, though the much larger question still looms: Will he continue to suit up in IN beyond 2017-18?
George is from southern California and would be playing for the team he followed as a youngster.
Doc Rivers has said he wants to bring everyone back this summer - free agents Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and J.J. George keeping the Pacers jersey is a locked on for next season but for Season 2018-19, "it's anybody's guess", ESPN reported.
Iran says it fired missiles targeting Daesh in Syria
Tehran has warned ISIS militants that any future attacks on the country will result in powerful strikes against the group. Iran is a solid backer of the Syrian regime and has given President Bashar Assad extensive military and political support.
The stark truth, though, is that any team except the Lakers would likely only be getting George on a one-year rental.
He wanted to be forthright on his plans and spare the franchise any confusion about his intentions, league sources told The Vertical.
George reportedly hasn't requested a trade, but you would think IN would want to get something IN return for losing him.
Since George didn't make an All-NBA team this past season, he will not be eligible for the Designated Player Veteran Exception, which would have made him eligible to receive a $207 million contract over five years.
Among them, league sources told Sporting News, are the Clippers, who have three significant free agents - Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and J.J. Redick - and are desperate to add a player who could change their perennial postseason disappointment. According to the Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski, the star has informed the Pacers he does not intend to stay with them after his current contract expires next summer. It could be any number of teams that believe they're just one piece away from competing for a championship - something George has insisted means the world to him.
