“I think the world of PG. I think everybody knows that,” Presti said. “I know that he had used the term ‘mutual.’ I wouldn’t necessarily agree with that because that would infer that we were wanting to trade Paul George, which I think most people would agree that that probably wasn’t on the top of our offseason priority list.
But I would say that it was not adversarial at all, and I also fully respect the way that it was handled. And the fact that we were able to make it work in a way that benefited the franchise made it something that we could do.”
Paul George explained the trade differently. He seemed to believe both sides had a mutual agreement.
During his time with the Oklahoma City Thunder Paul George averaged 25 ppg, 6.9 rebounds & 3.7 assists.
