Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George says that he would be in a Los Angeles Lakers uniform if the Indiana Pacers did not trade him in the summer of 2017.
In an interview with ESPN's The Undefeated, George admits that he always wanted to play for the Lakers, but after spending the year with the Thunder decided to stay and signed a four-year, $137 million contract extension during the free agency period.
"It was 50-50 on deciding whether I wanted to come back home or if it was smarter to be in the situation I am in now," George said.
