Boston could have their eye on either George or Butler, both of whom they've been linked to. That said, if I were a Boston fan I'd be pretty disappointed if they don't cash in their fantastic assets for another big piece this deadline.
This was an unspeakably bad deal for Sacramento, though. I was never a fan of Hield, but Sacramento apparently really liked him last year in the draft, and when he didn't fall to them, they traded the draft pick (which could have been the very promising Marquis Chriss) to Phoenix for a package of picks and prospects that looks to amount to very little. And now this. Tunnel-vision in regards to a draft/trade target is very dangerous.
