For the past month, the Indiana Pacers have been scrambling to trade Paul George after he told the team that he intended to leave after his contract expired in 2018. Last night, the team was eventually able to unload George but former Pacers great Reggie Miller was not happy about the way he went about things.
After the trade went down, Miller took to Twitter to fire this shot at PG.
"Kings Should Never Leave Their Kingdom", unless forced out. Man I should have done a better job begging MJ to play with me in Indiana 😜😳😂.

Reggie backed off his comment a bit but the sentiment was still there.
Will ALWAYS be a fan of PG, he has the RIGHT to make a decision he feels is best for HIM. Just hurts me to see him want to leave the Pacers.

As much it sucks for Pacers fans, being forced to live in Indiana is a tough pill to swallow.
