Paul Pierce joined ESPN’s The Jump to discuss if he believes the Oklahoma City Thunder have won over Paul George.

There has been a lot of speculation that George will move on to play for the Los Angeles Lakers during this upcoming offseason.

“Paul George on what he’s going to get from the Thunder versus what he’s going to get in L.A., they’re going to be huge 100, maybe 200, dollar contracts.”

Pierce believes it will go a longer way in Oklahoma City because Los Angeles is in the process of growing their young talent into superstars.

Pierce believes that the Thunder have to make a strong playoff push to keep George.

“Say something happens in the playoffs and they fizzle out in the first round, then how can this thing change?”

George has a lot of connections and family in Los Angeles and Pierce believes that they are a serious threat to sign George in the offseason.
