Clippers' Paul George Claims 'Both Sides Won' in 2019 Trade with Thunder
As Gilgeous-Alexander excels, questions remain about the long-term outcome of the blockbuster deal.
- The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 128-117, with the game featuring OKC star Shai-Gilgeous Alexander and L.A. star Paul George playing against their former teams.
- In 2019, the Clippers traded seven first-round picks, Danilo Gallinari and Gilgeous-Alexander to Oklahoma City for George.
- Gilgeous-Alexander has been outstanding this season, averaging 31 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists, and leading the league in steals.
- George, while still an All-NBA-level talent, is averaging 23.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists in his 14th season.
- Oklahoma City (27-13) has four first-round picks remaining from its trade with the Clippers and could be a powerhouse for years to come.
