It is official: Paul George is re-signing with Oklahoma City. According to ESPN, the free agent all-Saar forward and the Thunder agreed to a four-year $137 million max contract early Sunday morning. The announcement was a big surprise to many who thought, from the moment George was traded from Indiana to OKC last June, would sign with the Lakers this summer. Here’s a collection of folks convinced he would end up in LA or, at the least, would not re-sign with Oklahoma City.
First, check out this tweet timeline from an excited, then disappointed Lakers fan (via Twitter/@sreekyshooter):

Confused about NBA rules. Can @Lakers sign Paul George immediately after this game or do they have to wait until summer?
