As of today, it’s safe to assume that there’s no one who knows exactly what LeBron James and Paul George are going to do this offseason. The former is still competing for a title, while the latter has made it sound like he wants to take some time to weigh all of his options before making a decision.
But still, there are a whole lot of people who think some shenanigans are afoot, and believe both players have already decided to team up and head to the Los Angeles Lakers or something. While Shaquille O’Neal doesn’t seem to think they’ve already made up their minds, he does think it’s a lock that both players end up playing for the purple and gold.
Shaq, who famously played for the Lakers from 1996-2004 and won three championships with the organization, gave the prediction on “The Big Podcast with Shaq.”

“I think Paul George … he’s going to L.A., he’s definitely going to the Lakers,” Shaq said. “Him and LeBron, him and LeBron. You heard it here first. I’m just saying this is just my opinion, LeBron, Paul George, and it’ll be a couple other big names that go to the Laker organization.”
One day, we will get to a point where people aren’t predicting a James and George pairing in Los Angeles. Perhaps it will be because that comes to fruition, or perhaps it will be become they go elsewhere. Or maybe the Lakers only get one of those guys! Who knows at this point. What we know now is that noted former Laker Shaq’s definite opinion is that the two end up in Los Angeles this summer.
