It has been just over a month since Paul George was traded from the Indiana Pacers to the Oklahoma City Thunder, which has provided him with plenty of time to get acquainted with his new teammates.
During a recent video piece with The Players' Tribune, George took several of the Thunder players out finishing for an opportunity to bond away from the court.
This was a part of his first annual celebrity fishing tournament over this past weekend that included Russell Westbrook, Josh Huestis, Yannis Morin, Sam Presti and a few other Thunder staff members. It is well-documented that George has a strong affinity to fish that dates back to his early days with the Indiana Pacers.

It provides an opportunity for him to get to know his new teammates on a more personal level away from the court. That said, he did partake in an offseason workout at UCLA on Monday that was organized by Westbrook. It was the first time that they have held a workout together since George was acquired by the Thunder just prior to the start of free agency.
There will likely be a few more team-oriented gatherings and workouts over the next few weeks in order to help build some stable chemistry ahead of the start of next season.
