Paul George is making waves in the offseason, starting it off with a three-part series with ESPN. The Oklahoma City Thunder star, however, will not conclude the show with his free agency decision.
As observed by Alex Kennedy of HoopsHype, ESPN's press release did not state that the series will feature George's much-awaited decision — whether he'll stay with the Oklahoma City Thunder or move to a different team which many believe will be the Los Angeles Lakers.
It's worth noting that Paul George isn't announcing his decision during SportsCenter's three-part special – the final episode will come out after his announcement and show what happened behind the scenes. That's what ESPN's press release said. It's still an interesting decision.

Kennedy, is in fact, right about his observation. ESPN's press release on the matter says, in part:
Part 3, which will air after George’s NBA plans are made public, will give viewers a look at what’s next for George and how he arrived at his ultimate decision.
To simplify, fans who are patiently waiting for George's next move will have to wait until Part 2 is aired. After which, George will finally reveal his plan moving forward.

“This inside story is just another way that SportsCenter will offer distinctive content on free agency, one of the biggest offseason stories in the NBA.”
George, a Los Angeles native, is highly expected to go to the Lakers. Last season with the Thunder was a failed experiment. It was supposed to be a Big 3 reminiscent of all big 3's in the past which brought home at least one ring.
Where do you think will George be headed?
