Paul George did not include the Oklahoma City Thunder on his list of six teams he preferred a trade to this offseason, but a source says he will give the franchise an audience next summer in free agency.

According to a source, George has been impressed by the culture of the Thunder and the acumen of Sam Presti. 

George was also impressed that the front office “had the (guts)” to pursue him. 

George was most closely connected to the Los Angeles Lakers before his trade to the Thunder but the equation appears to have changed.

The Thunder have already signed Russell Westbrook to an extension.
