Golden State Warriors trade rumors
Recently, the Golden State Warriors have been interested in acquiring Paul George. The all star player has a pending free agency in 2018. That said, the Warriors have plans to pursue George next summer. According to Chat Sports, the owner of the Golden State Joe Lacob is trying to figure out a way to sign Paul George.
It turns out that the Golden State Warriors had approached the Indiana Pacers when George was available for a trade. However, the trade talks did not advance those initial stages since George was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Many teams have been trying to obtain George from the Pacers including the Los Angeles Lakers.
It is the same situation for Kyrie Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Will Paul George sign a contract extension with Oklahoma?
The Los Angele Lakers have tried their level best to obtain Paul George. On the other hand, George had also admitted that Los Angeles was one of his preferred destinations. After being with the Thunder, George recently stated that he would not hesitate to consider signing an extension.
"If Oklahoma is a winning team I would consider resigning," George said.
The Warriors might be trying to obtain George, but the Thunder will not give him up so easily. When the time comes for George to move out of Oklahoma, several teams will try to get a hold of the all star player. There is no doubt that the Los Angeles Lakers will also try their best shot.
The Golden State is a strong team with players like Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, adding Paul George will only make them stronger.
At this moment, the New York Knicks and the Cavs are still waiting for the best trade options for Carmelo Anthony and Kyrie Irving.
