The Oklahoma City Thunder have gotten off to a rough start through the first couple months of the season continuing to titter around the .500 mark.

It has been largely characterized by their struggles to find cohesiveness for their three All-Stars in Russell Westbrook, Paul George, and Carmelo Anthony in playing effectively alongside each other. There have been many ups and downs in the process that has created a sense uncertainty for the long-term plan for the organization.

Putting that aside, George recently voiced to Ken Berger of Bleacher Report that his aspirations are to put his total commitment into trying to figure it out this season.

“Well, I think this is a different scenario because it’s our only year together as far as we’re on one-year contracts,” George told Bleacher Report. “I want to put everything into this and see where that takes us. I’m not giving up; I’m not giving in. I want to give this thing everything I have and we’ll see where it goes.”

There had been some growing chatter that the Thunder may have to consider possibly moving George if things remained the same as the trade deadline draws much closer. Although he is voicing his desire to see it through this season, there is still a lack of true commitment from him to the organization beyond this season.

This alone has contributed greatly to the strong sense of uncertainty around the future of the franchise outside of Westbrook already being locked into to a lucrative long-term deal. Ultimately, the departure of George could quickly become a real concern especially if Oklahoma City continues down this same path over the rest of this season.
