Paul George is not committing at this time to signing a contract extension with the Indiana Pacers.

George could possibly be offered a five-year, $219 million extension this offseason by the Pacers.

"As I told Larry (Bird), I always want to play on a winning team. I always want to be part of a team that has a chance to win it [all]. That's important," said George.

"Say what you want; I want to compete for something. It's frustrating just playing the game for stats or for numbers or to showcase yourself. Man, I want a chance to play for a chance to win a championship.

"I wanted to be the first and want to be the first to be able to bring a championship to Indiana. So that's still on my mind ... and something I definitely want to achieve in Indiana."

In a January interview with The Indianapolis Star, Bird said: "Yeah, we want to keep him here long term. That's the plan."

George has two seasons remaining on his current contract valued at $40.2 million, but he can opt out a season early to become a free agent in 2018.
