Paul George

Paul George isn’t sorry he’s with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is, however, sorry for how things ended with the Indiana Pacers. As he told Clifton Brown of the Indianapolis Star in Oklahoma City this week: “First and foremost, I want to give thanks to Indiana as a state, for embracing me and my family for seven [...]

Although the Oklahoma City Thunder are deploying more than their fair share of new members, the locker room does not, apparently, bear resemblance to a team trying to feel itself out. On the contrary, Paul George says everyone already feels like family, per ESPN.com’s Tim MacMahon: [tweet https://twitter.com/espn_macmahon/status/915248348239585280] Maybe this surprises some of you, but [...]

Maybe we’ll get to see more than one season’s worth of this Oklahoma City Thunder squad after all. General manager Sam Presti has been rightfully lauded for piecing together a Big Three of Paul George, Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook, seemingly on the fly. But this troika is viewed by many as a one-year placeholder. [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ loss is the Oklahoma City Thunder’s gain—in a big way. During an interview with SiriusXM, Carmelo Anthony revealed that both himself and Paul George were almost traded to the Cavaliers on draft night. Here’s ESPN.com’s Ian Begley with the details: Carmelo Anthony said in a SiriusXM interview that there was a trade [...]

Contrary to popular belief, Paul George does not have one leg in his Oklahoma City Thunder gym shorts, the other in a pair of Los Angeles Lakers garb. He is, right now, all-in with the Thunder—a position in which he could see himself staying, especially after the trade for Carmelo Anthony. As the All-Star forward [...]

By his own admission, Paul George is coming for Russell Westbrook’s MVP award. Granted, he didn’t put this pursuit in those terms. The topic was broached during his appearance on NBA TV, and George took the “I’m going for it” approach: [tweet https://twitter.com/NBATV/status/908876868652322816?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.slamonline.com%2Fnba%2Fpaul-george-gunning-mvp-award%2F] The initial reaction: What the heck else is he going to say? [...]

Collusion and tampering seem to be a common occurrence in today’s NBA as players and opposing teams have secret conversations and let their intentions be known far before the July free agency period begins (think about how it is possible for a contract to be agreed to right at midnight on July 1), one of [...]

Might the Golden State Warriors consider going after Paul George in free agency next summer? Maybe. The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami appeared on the Posting Up podcast with The Washington Post‘s Tim Bontemps (h/t NESN), and some comments he made about George and the Warriors, while not an official rumor, are making the rounds, so we’re going to jump in [...]

It was pretty apparent that the Lakers were working with the Pacers to agree on a trade to acquire Paul George before the 2017 NBA Draft. George has stated his intentions to be a Laker and many around the league feel he is still destined to end up there even after he was traded to [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers introduced new general manager Koby Altman on Wednesday during a press conference led by owner Dan Gilbert. While both of them for the most part deflected questions about Kyrie Irving, Gilbert was more blunt when it came to (unsolicitedly) commenting on what the Indiana Pacers received in return for Paul George.
