Did the Indiana Pacers give away Paul George?
No.
Unless you didn’t notice all of Paul George’s overtures to heading to the Los Angles Lakers eventually — and the possibility of outright tampering by Los Angeles — it is understandable to think that Indiana gave their franchise player away for just Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis.
That is what Kevin Durant said on The Bill Simmons podcast recently, and he isn’t the only one who believes that.
