Only days after the team was eliminated from playoff contention, Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George has started to show the first signs of leaving OKC this summer.
According to Gabe Ikard of The Franchise Players, George pulled his kid out of Heritage Hall this morning.
There’s a rumor going around that Paul George pulled his kid out of Heritage Hall this morning. Just a rumor…but I’m sure Thunder fans will take this well.

Ikard noted George's daughter is still young, so there could be other circumstances for which she was pulled early.
Also…the kid is young so it’s not like there’s finals or anything 😂. I don’t think we should panic…yet.

While this could be part of a big family vacation to decompress or simply a preventative measure, rumors will surely run rampant during this offseason, as George didn't have the best playoff showing for the exception of the Thunder's mere two wins against the Utah Jazz before being eliminated.
George was allowed to take a high volume of shots, but not as high as the team's franchise player in Russell Westbrook, who inexplicably shot until his arms fell off during the team's last two games, putting up 39 and 43 attempts respectively in Games 5 and 6 of the series.
The L.A. native was unable to channel his self-given nickname of “Playoff P” past the first games of the series, failing to shoot over 50 percent after the first game of the series.
George has been rumored to make a move toward his hometown of Los Angeles since last season, possibly using this window to opt out and sign with the Lakers after the organization carved up some massive cap space to sign two major big-time free agents in this upcoming offseason.
