Nearly two months after declining meetings with other teams to stay with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Paul George said the Los Angeles Lakers were "pissed" they didn't have the opportunity to make a pitch to him.
"L.A. was pissed at me," he said on the Short Story Long podcast. "I didn't give Magic (Johnson) a meeting, which I understand. But at that point, I knew I wanted to give it another shot. I didn't want to prolong it and waste people's time."
George was traded to the Thunder in July 2017 after informing the Indiana Pacers he wouldn't re-sign with them in free agency after the 2017-18 season.
