Everything that could happen Paul George this summer

Paul George faces a very unpredictable future. He is no longer eligible for the Designated Veteran Player Extension this summer, which means that the Pacers have lost a crucial piece of leverage in retaining their superstar. Rumors of George fleeing to Los Angeles circulate the internet on a daily basis, and he’s done little to dispel them.

George has said multiple times that he always imagined playing for the Lakers at some point, but that point isn’t necessarily the 2017-18 season. Until the summer of 2018, George’s future isn’t entirely up to him, and Pacers GM Kevin Pritchard could decide to move him to a completely different team for this season.
