The Oklahoma City Thunder’s best summer move was re-signing Paul George. With more possible touches in 2018-19, he looks to have a big year.

The Oklahoma City Thunder were able to re-sign Paul George, which was their most important move this offseason. George is one of the top players at his position and in the league.

He was able to make it to the All-Star game this year after DeMarcus Cousins got injured. That gave the OKC Thunder two All-Star players after Russell Westbrook had already made the cut.

For his career, George has averaged 18.6 points and 6.2 rebounds per game during his eight seasons in the league. He has never had that kind of MVP-caliber season, but this year he will get his chance.

The OKC Thunder look to have a deep playoff run after they were kicked out of the playoffs in six games by Donovan Mitchell and the Utah Jazz in the first round.

There were many downs in the season that hindered OKC from being the best team it could be. the Thunder’s best players like George struggled to make shots and Andre Roberson got injured for the rest of the season.

This year, with Roberson coming back and the way cleared for George to get his shots. OKC looks to have more success.

With a better bench and a re-signed Paul George, the Thunder look to have a better season after a disappointing first year of PG-13’s tenure with the team. Here’s a look at what his three goals should be for 2018-19.
