Paul George: Russell Westbrook extension ‘absolutely’ factors into future

Paul George

Paul George continues to share signals that he may be happy to extend his stay with the Oklahoma City Thunder beyond this season.

George said Saturday that Russell Westbrook’s decision to ink a 5-year, $205 million extension with the Thunder would “absolutely” impact his own decision on his future.

“We’ve been on an unbelievable start right now, and for him to be committed here, it says a lot,” George said, via Royce Young of ESPN. “Not only us pairing together, but just knowing what type of dude Russ is, and his values, and his beliefs, and him being committed to this organization says a lot.

“I think when that time comes, the decision will be easier to make.”

George is a free agent at the end of the season. He has said that winning will take priority over all else, and if the Thunder have a successful season, they will certainly provide an intriguing option for the star forward next summer.
