Paul George and Josh Hart were both competing in a Fortnite tournament ,which was a good chance for people to speculate if these two guys would be on the same team next year at this time. George was asked in an interview about teaming up with Hart on the Los Angeles Lakers, and George laughed it off and said next question.
George is from the Los Angeles area so there has been a belief that the Lakers are the favorites to land his services. According to Marc Stein of The New York Times, there is actually going belief around the league that George will stay in Oklahoma City.
There is a growing belief around the league that Oklahoma City has a far better chance to retain the free agent-to-be Paul George than many believed when the Thunder crashed out of the first round of the playoffs. As George prepares to field the Lakers’ long-anticipated interest, his willingness to post an Instagram picture of himself last month from a hospital bed after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee has helped to fuel the notion in some corners that he’s in no rush to leave OKC.
A lot of where George will end up could also have to do with what LeBron James ends up doing this offseason. There is a chance that the two could end up teaming up either in Los Angeles or somewhere else so James might need to be the first piece to fall before George makes his decision.
