Last year had you told me Paul George was re-signing with Oklahoma City after his trade from Indiana, I would have called you crazy. Originally the Pacers-Thunder trade felt like Indiana was selling low on George but it made sense because he was going to sign with Los Angeles the following July 1.
Kevin Pritchard settled for Oklahoma City’s offer because the Lakers’ best trades package was the 27th and 28th 2017 draft picks, Julius Randle and Jordan Clarkson.
But now it appears the Pacers won the trade, no matter what happens with the rest of George’s career.
