Paul George says Lakers were his top choice when Pacers traded him
当时溜马交易PG时，湖人是他的第一选择
About a year before LeBron James joined the Los Angeles Lakers,
the big star they were reportedly after was Paul George.
在LBJ加入洛杉矶湖人队的大约一年前，据报导湖人追逐的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.
在溜马效力七个赛季后，曾经不错的阵容已经变差，且PG想离开。
当时，大家认为他想被交易到湖人队，因为他在洛杉矶的Palmdale长大。
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.
后来，PG被交易到雷霆，在那里度过了两个赛季，之后他想离开，
以便2019年可以快艇和Kawhi Leonard合体。
Recently, he confirmed his desire to head to the Purple and Gold back in 2017.
最近，他承认了2017确实想前往紫金军团。
“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 : 在我向溜马提出吹密时，我们当时试着不让我去一个我真的不想去的地方。
很显然，我想回家。湖人 - 你知道的 - 我的首选，我的偶像(Kobe)曾在那里效力。
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.
在被送到雷霆之后，PG在2018年成为了一名自由球员，又有传言称他希望加入湖人。
最后，他选择与雷霆续约，并宣布对当时仍是雷霆头牌的Russell Westbrook表忠诚。
That was the summer James took his talents to Los Angeles.
那是LBJ将他的天赋带往洛城的那个夏天。
