There’s been a lot of speculation about where Paul George will be playing next season. George will not be a free agent until the 2018 offseason, but he has already made it clear he wants to play for the Lakers if he were to be a free agent, and there is certainly mutual interest there.
Magic Johnson, who is the current president of basketball operations of the Lakers, has already expressed interest in obtaining George. However, it was recently stated by insiders close to the Lakers that they will not trade any assets for George this season, with confidence that he will join them in 2018.
