Paul George says Lakers were his top choice when Pacers traded him
當時溜馬交易PG時，湖人是他的第一選擇
About a year before LeBron James joined the Los Angeles Lakers,
the big star they were reportedly after was Paul George.
在LBJ加入洛杉磯湖人隊的大約一年前，據報導湖人追逐的big name是PG。
After seven seasons with the Indiana Pacers,
his once-decent supporting cast had deteriorated, and he wanted out.
At the time, it was believed that he wanted to be traded to the Lakers,
as he grew up in Palmdale, an exurb of Los Angeles.
在溜馬效力七個賽季後，曾經不錯的陣容已經變差，且PG想離開。
當時，大家認為他想被交易到湖人隊，因為他在洛杉磯的Palmdale長大。
As it turned out, George was sent to the Oklahoma City Thunder,
where he spent two seasons before wanting out so he could join Kawhi Leonard
on the Los Angeles Clippers in 2019.
後來，PG被交易到雷霆，在那裡度過了兩個賽季，之後他想離開，
以便2019年可以快艇和Kawhi Leonard合體。
Recently, he confirmed his desire to head to the Purple and Gold back in 2017.
最近，他承認了2017確實想前往紫金軍團。
“We were trying to protect going somewhere that I really didn’t want to go,
” George said of his trade request from the Pacers.
“Obviously, I wanted to come back home.
Lakers was – you know – first – my idol went there.”
PG : 在我向溜馬提出吹密時，我們當時試著不讓我去一個我真的不想去的地方。
很顯然，我想回家。湖人 - 你知道的 - 我的首選，我的偶像(Kobe)曾在那裡效力。
After being sent to Oklahoma City, George was a free agent in 2018,
and again there were rumors that he wanted to join the Lakers.
Instead, he re-upped with the Thunder and proclaimed his loyalty to
Russell Westbrook, who was still their franchise player.
在被送到雷霆之後，PG在2018年成為了一名自由球員，又有傳言稱他希望加入湖人。
最後，他選擇與雷霆續約，並宣布對當時仍是雷霆頭牌的Russell Westbrook表忠誠。
That was the summer James took his talents to Los Angeles.
那是LBJ將他的天賦帶往洛城的那個夏天。
