After the trades of Jimmy Butler and Chris Paul, rumors and speculations of another top-15 player, the cover athlete for NBA 2K17, have come to an end. Paul George is not going to Los Angeles, Cleveland, or any other rumored team, instead, he was dealt to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for guard Victor Oladipo and forward Domantas Sabonis.

 

 

To pair George and NBA MVP Russell Westbrook will give the Thunder a one-two punch that can stack up with any in the Western Conference. George isn’t Kevin Durant, but he is a leading scorer of Indiana, a four-time All-Star, his game and impact are closer to KD than almost any other player’s in the league. The pairing of George and Westbrook is certainly a formidable one, right now OKC are not ready to beat the Warriors, but they are getting awfully close.

 

Obviously OKC will benefit a lot from this deal. It even looks like a steal for the Thunder, fans joked that even NBA 2K17 wouldn’t allow this in MyGM mode.

 

In NBA 2K17, this move of George vaults the Thunder into Top5 teams in the game while the Pacers was plummeted to 26th. George could help carry the scoring load that Westbrook shouldered last season, and he also gives the team another versatile defender. There aren’t many teams that have two players with a 90 overall rating or better in their starting lineups in NBA 2K17. While, things are not good for the Pacers. This team is jumping headfirst into a rebuilding mode, his point guard Jeff Teague is leaving the team in free agency. In NBA 2K18, the Pacers will be one of those reclamation projects for fans in MyGM and MyLeague if they want to build up a team from the ground.

 

As for the Lakers, they are now banking on George coming to Los Angeles in free agency next summer, and George still favors coming to L.A. in 2018. The Lakers’ executives  Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka are to show the players in real terms what superstar benefits are available as a Laker, and they conveyed to George that he can be the first to experience what they will do—and George wants in.
