Paul George To The Cavs Was Closer Than We Thought

Last updated on Wednesday, July 19, 2017

(UNDATED) - Despite being traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder nearly three weeks ago the Paul George news continues to dominate the headlines.

The most recent one being that a Paul George to the Cleveland Cavaliers trade was closer to happening than many thought.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that a deal between the Pacers and Cavaliers was in place with only minor details needing to be ironed out but the Pacers backed out of the deal before it could be finalized.

Acting Cavaliers GM Koby Altman was said to have been so close to the deal that the Pacers almost gave George permission to speak with Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert over the phone. Instead, the Pacers sent George to the Thunder in exchange for Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis.
