Source: Paul George sticks with Thunder on 4-year deal

Paul George has agreed to a new contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

A person familiar with the situation says Paul George is staying with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal’s terms have not been announced. George averaged 21.9 points for the Thunder last season.

ESPN first reported George’s decision.

The move, which can become official on Friday, further validates Oklahoma City’s decision to send a package –including Most Improved Player Victor Oladipo– to Indiana last year for George, who clearly enjoyed playing with Russell Westbrook with the Thunder.
