Indiana Pacers All-Star forward Paul George said today the team’s fans don’t need to worry about him going anywhere. Indianapolis is his professional home and he plans to be here for a long time. “(A long-term contract) is going to get done,” George told The Indianapolis Star. “There will be a deal signed and sealed on the table before the season. We’re (George and Pacers management) on the same page.”
“No,” George said when asked if there was any chance he would leave the Pacers. “Honestly, I love it here. I want to be here. It’s a great place. There are no distractions. I can stay focused. It’s all about basketball here. I can stay focused and do my job.”

The Indiana Pacers announced Wednesday they have signed veteran guard/forward Paul George to a multi-year contract extension.

"I want to thank the Pacers for believing in me when they drafted me,” George said in a statement. “To continue my career with the Pacers was a very easy decision. We have great ownership, a great front office, great fans and I’m blessed with great coaches and great teammates. I use great a lot because that is what this franchise is and I’m hopeful we can be part of great things in the future.”

"Paul represents not only what our team and franchise is about, but what a professional athlete should be,” President of Basketball Operations Larry Bird said. “He strives every day to be the best he can be, as a player, as a teammate, as a person and as a representative of this franchise."

Good for King George... Still not going to be dethroning King James anytime soon though.
