Gordon Hayward will be a top priority come July 1, but the Boston Celtics - with their accumulation of draft assets - would seem to have the best offer for the Indiana Pacers in a trade for Paul George.

Taking out the assets you would have to give up to acquire George, as opposed to using salary cap room to sign Hayward, Celtics fans, who would you rather have on the team for the next four seasons?

Hayward or George?

The Cleveland Cavaliers need to find a way to upgrade their team if they are to have any shot at winning the title. Unfortunately for them, they don't appear to have the assets to make the change they need. With LeBron on the final year of his contract, the Cavs could be in trouble. Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics are primed to go after Gordon Hayward or possibly trade for Paul George. Summer league is set to begin July 3rd and the Boston Celtics are gearing up.

A ton of information came out at the introductory press conference for Boston Celtics No. 3 overall pick Jayson Tatum. There are questions about Ante Zizic, Guerschon Yabusele and more concerning the team's Summer League roster. Also, Danny Ainge offered an update on the rehab of Isaiah Thomas' injured hip.

The 2017 NBA Draft wrapped up late Thursday night with the Boston Celtics leaving New York the owners of four incoming rookies. Duke's Jayson Tatum was the big-name get at No. 3 overall, while SMU's Semi Ojeleye (No. 37), Kadeem Allen (No. 53) and Jabari Bird (No. 56) went in the second round.

The Boston Celtics traded out of the No. 1 slot last week to gain a future asset down the road, in addition to the No. 3 overall selection in the 2017 NBA Draft.

Danny Ainge and Co. have decided on Duke's Jayson Tatum with the selection. A 6'8 wing with a near 7-foot wingspan, Tatum possesses the ability to score in multiple spots on the court, as well as defend positions 1-4, according to Brad Stevens.
