After years of rumors about his desire to leave Indiana, former Fresno State basketball star Paul George finally got his wish when he was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a blockbuster deal.
George, 27, and now in the prime of his career, was reportedly unhappy with the Pacers’ inability to rebuild a team that would be a serious threat to dethrone the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are the reigning NBA Eastern Conference champions led by LeBron James.
