Following their painful Game 4 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday, Paul George was understandably not in a good mood, especially with the feeling of getting swept still fresh.
During the post game press conference, the Indiana Pacers small forward was asked by a reporter about his plans for his future and whether or not he wants to continue his career in Indianapolis. George quickly brushed it off and made it clear that he isn't thinking about it yet.
“I ain't even at that point yet, Bob. Next question.”

With his very impressive skill set, George is sure to generate plenty of interest from team’s around the league. The four-time All-Star forward had his best campaign as a pro this year with a career-high average of 23.7 points, to go along with 6.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. He is a big reason why the Pacers were able to secure a playoff berth, and has proven that the freak injury he suffered two years ago is all in the past.
His situation is definitely something worth keeping an eye on and it will be interesting to find out what the Pacers will do to entice him to stay. However, should they feel like he won’t re-sign with them in the summer of 2018 after he opts out of the final year of his contract, the team may even decide to move him elsewhere to get something in return for his services.
