Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Paul George revealed Thursday he would have signed with the Los Angeles Lakers had the Indiana Pacers not traded him to OKC in July 2017.
In an interview with Marc J. Spears of ESPN's The Undefeated, George made it clear he wanted to go to L.A. before experiencing what it was like to play alongside Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma City:
"It was 50-50 on deciding whether I wanted to come back home or if it was smarter to be in the situation I am in now.
