Whether Paul George is eligible to receive an extra year and $75 million from the Indiana Pacers will be determined Thursday when the NBA unveils its first, second and third All-NBA teams. The NBA did not provide a time for the announcement.

If George is selected to one of the teams, he's eligible for the designated player exception supermax contract: five years, roughly $210 million. If he's not, he can receive a five-year, $180 million deal from the Pacers. Other teams can offer him four years and approximately $133 million regardless of his All-NBA status.

George would still have to determine whether he's satisfied with the improvement in the team's roster to re-sign but there would be a significant financial inducement to do so. The teams are chosen by a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters.

New Team President Kevin Pritchard said he met with George for 45 minutes after the Pacers were eliminated from the playoffs by the Cleveland Cavaliers and came away optimistic that George wanted to remain with Indiana.

“We talked about a lot of different things,” Pritchard said at his postseason news conference. “In every scenario he talked about being here. That’s important – him wanting to be here is important. He kept coming back to one statement that hits me hard. He wants to win.”

George averaged 28.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.8 steals in the postseason against Cleveland. The Pacers were swept, but by an NBA-record-low average of 4.0 points per game. George set career-highs in points (23.7 per game), field goal percentage (.461) and free-throw percentage (.898), while also shooting 39.3 percent on 3-pointers and averaging 6.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.6 steals.

Cleveland's LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard of San Antonio would seem heavy favorites to fill out the first team forward slots, with Golden State's Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo from Milwaukee also expected to make one of the three teams. That would leave George competing with Jimmy Butler (23.9 points, 45.5 percent, 6.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.9 steals) and Draymond Green (10.2 points, 41.8 percent, 7.9 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 2.0 steals, 1.4 blocks) for the final two positions. New Orleans' Anthony Davis (28.0 points, 50.4 percent, 11.8 rebounds, 2.2 blocks) is something of a wild card, qualifying as a center and forward. He will be placed at the position in which he receives more votes.

George, a Southern California native, is reportedly interested in returning to Los Angeles to play for the Lakers. But Los Angeles will only have a lottery pick — which would seem to be a necessary inducement for any trade — if it's selected for one of the first three picks due to a previous trade. They have a 46.9 percent chance of landing a top 3 pick in Tuesday's lottery. The Celtics own the Brooklyn Nets' pick, which has the best odds to be drawn No. 1 in the lottery at 25.0 percent.
