George’s free-agent decision is the Thunder’s single most significant summer storyline, and the source of near-constant speculation.
This week in his New York Times newsletter, Marc Stein reported that growing support around the league “for the idea that Oklahoma City can really convince George to stay” and that “it has reached the point that potential contract scenarios are starting to circulate.”
Stein wrote that “more than one” NBA team has suggested that they “expect George to strongly consider a two-year deal with the Thunder at $30.3 million next season and $32.7 million in 2019-20” with George holding a player option for that second year.
