Pacers president Kevin Pritchard likes tweets critical of Paul George trade

Pacers general manager Kevin Pritchard was widely panned – including by me – for trading Paul George for Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis.

Oops.

Oladipo and Sabonis are killing it while George has underwhelmed.

Upon George’s return to Indiana, Pritchard took the opportunity to gloat. The Pacers general manager recently liked these tweets (hat tip: Matt Ellentuck of SB Nation):

"We’re not gonna take any bad deals.” -Pritchard one week before trading Paul George for Oladipo & Sabonis. https://t.co/5FtittLy9R @ringer

Thanks for the tweets reporting the "theft" of Paul George by @okcthunder.

Our investigative findings: totally legal & very savvy.

This is petty – and I love it. Pritchard earned the victory lap.
