Paul George to Oklahoma City Thunder

If you don't know, the Thunder made a trade that made them title contenders. Now they probably can't make it past the Warriors or Spurs but Paul George is a great player. Here are my predictions for the 2017-18 season.

The Trade

Domontas Sabonis                            Paul George          

                                For     

Victor Oladipo

Pros 

Pacers
I am a Thunder fan and I loved Domontas Sabonis and still do. I feel like with age he can be a knock down three-point shooter. If he gets a starting roll (which I think should happen) he could become the face of the franchise. His passing is outstanding and now that he is not playing with Russell Westbrook he should be able to have the ball in his hands more. Victor Oladipo is a Shooting Guard that does what a Point Guard should. Lucky for him he plays in Indiana where he went to college and the Pacers could use a ball dominant scorer like him. I think his defense can and will improve since he doesn't have to do half of Westbrook's defensive work while Westbrook did half the teams offensive work.

Thunder
Paul George is a Super Star that does not have to have the ball in his hands 100% of the time. You cannot pair any Super Star with Westbrook and expect it to work out. Westbrook needs the ball in his hands and hunts for shots. That would drive someone crazy. Paul George loves to catch and shoot threes and is good at it. Russell understands that if he wants a chance at a title he needs to pass to Paul George. Paul George also gives them defense at the wing that they need. Andre Roberson is probably the best defensive player in the game but provides little to no offense. Paul George is the perfect solution.

Records

Pacers
Paul George is the only reason Indiana has been relevant for the past few years but Victor Oladipo and Myles Turner could prove to be a deadly duo. Sabonis is going to help them to the playoffs in the next few seasons.

Thunder
Paul George is a shooter. Russell carried them to 46 wins last year and Paul George is exactly what they need. A shooter who plays good defense. Paul George is capable of  adding 6 wins to the team
