It is well known that the Los Angeles Lakers have major plans for this coming summer in free agency. The franchise wants to add one or two big names to their young core and one that has long been rumored on their wish list is Oklahoma City Thunder wing Paul George.
When George was with the Indiana Pacers he told them that he would prefer to be dealt to the Lakers. George ultimately was traded to the Thunder, and the Lakers received a record fine as a result of a tampering charge related to him.
Though, George denied any wrongdoing took place, and revealed the Pacers were concerned about his relationship with Lakers assistant coach Brian Shaw.
