What happened: FanSpo modeled the transaction as an all-in move for the 2026-27 season.
Why it matters: Boston acquired George in July, so the move would reroute its major offseason addition before training camp. Spending much of that deal’s draft return would limit flexibility for later roster moves.
By the numbers: George is due $54.1 million in 2026-27 and holds a $56.6 million player option for 2027-28.
What to watch: Boston’s training-camp roster decisions will indicate whether it intends to preserve that flexibility.
