Indiana Pacers all-star Paul George has reportedly been traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

According to ESPN, George will link up with Kiwi Steven Adams and MVP Russell Westbrook in a deal which sees Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis move to the Pacers.

The 27-year old had been linked with a number of teams including the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets. 

 

The small-forward has one year remaining on his current contract and has made it clear he wants to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018.

The three-time All-Star averaged 23.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.6 steals per game last season.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers have re-signed forward Blake Griffin to a five-year US$173 million dollar deal to remain with the team.

Also, Stephen Curry has agreed to a five-year US$201 million extension with the Golden State Warriors, the richest contract in NBA history.
