Why LeBron could be key in PG's decision

Everyone wants to know what Paul George is going to do.

Will he stay with the Thunder? Will he bolt for the Lakers? Will he end up with some other team?

As it turns out, the key to unlock all those answers is actually identical.

And shaped like LeBron.

With Friday's deadline for decisions on player options rapidly approaching, all eyes are on LeBron James. He can decide to play out the last year of his contract and stay in Cleveland. He can opt out of that last year and become a free agent.

Both decisions could have vastly different ramifications on George's future with the Thunder.
