Two people with knowledge of the details say the Pacers have agreed to trade Paul George to the Thunder for Victor Oladipo (oh-lah-DEE’-poh) and Domantas Sabonis (doh-MAHN’-tahs sah-BOH’-nihs). George told the Pacers recently that he planned to leave as a free agent next summer, forcing the team to find a trade before losing him for nothing. George averaged 23.7 points and 6.6 rebounds this past season.
