Victor Oladipo isn’t feeling pressure to replace Paul George

The transaction simply records Paul George was traded from the Indiana Pacers to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis. But no matter what is said or done, there was more than just players swapped in that trade.

In some capacity, Oladipo is expected to make up for the absence of the former franchise star. That’s simply what happens when a team trades away a star player like George. Oladipo was the biggest part of that trade from OKC’s side (as well as the more well paid), so he carries an expectation that Sabonis certainly doesn’t have to.
