The Thunder's most important move of the off-season was pretty obvious to local fans. The decision to swap Carmelo Anthony and his headband collection to Atlanta for a legit back-up point guard was one that we can all applaud. The second-best move was locking up Paul George for four more years with a $137 million contract.
Giving a max contract to a player who has a metal rod in his leg and is coming off knee surgery is a bit risky, but in a league where multiple stars are required to even have a shot at a ring, he's still a top 20 player whose defensive abilities are coveted as much as his scoring talents. And his willingness to sign long-term with OKC even though he should have really just gone to LA to play with LeBron is a move that could help the Thunder attract free agents in the future.
