BREAKING NEWS
In what can only be described as "unforeseen", Paul George has been traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
As part of the deal, the Pacers will receive Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis. As ESPN senior writer Zach Lowe says, this is some "rabbit-out-of-a-hat stuff from Presti. Holy crap."
What are your thoughts?

COME ON
Oh this is going to be VERY interesting. It's definitely a one year rental is Presti trying to get a package together already for the Lakers?!?!?
Dude its like the 2015-2016 Thunder except you got PG instead of KD and less assets to work with to convince him to stay, HAHAHA. But you never know man, especially if they pull another move this offseason. Will be fun to watch for sure!
EXACTLY what I was thinking KD 2.0 minus the supporting cast. I honestly don't see OKC grabbing anyone in free agency unless it's a sign and trade scenario. So maybe more of the same next year from them.
Well...Paul wanted to be traded anyway.
Sabonis might have a great future in the NBA.
100% agree on that.
It's just WHO he was traded to, and for WHAT. You don't trade a bonafide superstar for some big man who MIGHT have a future. Don't mean to come off strong, just pretty shocking is all :)
