3. Paul George, Unrestricted
Stats: 21.9 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 3.3 apg
Paul George comes in as the third best free agent on the open market, and probably one that could potentially come as a package deal with another free agent on this list – if he leaves the Oklahoma City Thunder, of course.
George had a fine individual season in Oklahoma City, but the team overall flamed out in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. That simply isn’t good enough.
Expect PG to think long and hard about where he stands at the age 28. If he signs a long-term deal, this summer’s decision is one that could potentially dictate how he’s viewed once his career is over.
