Earlier tonight, the Indiana Pacers stunned the NBA world when they traded superstar Paul George for a pair of role players in Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis. According to ESPN’s Jeff Goodman, the Pacers previously rejected a huge offer from the Celtics on draft night that would have included three first round picks and two starters.

Pacers fans weren’t happy with the deal.
