Some Los Angeles Lakers fans think it would be magical to see Paul George in purple and gold.
On the heels of his team's first-round exit from the playoffs, the All-Star swingman is spending the beginning of his offseason - as well as his 27th birthday - at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. with his family.
There, he was approached by Lakers fans who asked him to join the team.

George remains under contract with the Indiana Pacers, and new GM Kevin Pritchard believes they're "on the same page." Still, that hasn't stopped people from linking the former MIP to his hometown club.
PG-13 reportedly wants to sign with the Lakers when he hits free agency in 2018 (he has a player option for 2018-19). The feeling appears mutual, as team president Magic Johnson recently said that while league rules bar him from recruiting the star, he'll be "wink-winking" when he sees him.
Clearly, it's also mutual for some Lakers supporters, as well.
