Paul George to the Los Angeles Lakers rumors were heating up this offseason until recently, when various reports by multiple NBA reporters have led many to believe George is considering resigning in Oklahoma City with the Thunder.
However, Fox Sports 1 Host Colin Cowherd spoke on his show today suggesting that the possibility of George resigning isn’t quite as accurate as you might think.
“On the phone last night, the Paul George is staying in Oklahoma City rumors are all being pushed by [Russell] Westbrook’s agent. Don’t buy into them. Those stories are being funneled into the media by one guy: Russell Westbrook’s agent. Paul George is still a lean for the Lakers.”
Westbrook’s current agent is Thad Foucher. It is unknown how true this is, so in reality, it should probably be taken with a grain of salt.
But it’s certainly food for thought.
