The Indiana Pacers appeared to be the initial loser in the 2017 Paul George trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder, giving up an All-Star for role players in Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis.
The Thunder were the second team giving up on Oladipo, who was originally drafted second overall by the Orlando Magic in 2013. He, with Sabonis, didn't seem like fair compensation for George.
As the season progressed, Oladipo proved to be flat-out sensational for the Pacers. Meanwhile, George and the Thunder faced their share of struggles in the Western Conference.
