On June 30, Beijing time, Clippers forward Paul George announced: refusing to exercise the player option of $48.79 million next season and jumping out of the contract to become a complete free agent! The current offer of the Clippers to George is still $149 million for three years, which is lower than the contract of the small card ($152 million for three years). The free market will open tomorrow at 6 a.m.......

Once free agency market opens, George will meet with the three teams as soon as he makes a decision on his next home. These three teams are: Clippers, 76ers and Magic, and the latter two teams have room to give George 212 million in 4 years! The Warriors didn't have enough space to sign George, and the Clippers refused to talk to the Warriors again.

The Warriors want to use Paul + Wiggins to match George's big contract! The Clippers are not stupid, how can the Clippers take over in such a state of Wiggins? This morning, Shams reported that the Warriors already knew that the pursuit of George was out of play. As can be seen from the list of teams George has met with, he is reluctant to even give the Warriors a chance to interview.

Wiggins has three years and $85 million left on his contract, Paul has one year and $30 million left on his contract, and Kuminga has one year and $7.64 million left on his contract. The Warriors want to dump two big contracts to the Clippers and keep Kuminga, who is the most cost-effective, for themselves, how can the Clippers talk to you? On the other hand, George may not be a good fit for the Warriors......

Kuminga played 74 regular-season games for the Warriors this season, starting 46 of them. He averaged 26.3 minutes per game, with 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.5 blocks while shooting 52.9%, 32.1% and 74.6% from three. Kuminga was born on October 6, 2002, and is not yet 22 years old despite playing three seasons.

Paul was born on May 6, 1985, and has just turned 39 years old. Paul played in 58 games with the Warriors this season, including 18 starts, averaging 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 turnovers in 26.4 minutes per game, shooting 44.1%, 37.1% and 82.7% from three. Paul's $30 million contract for next season is unguaranteed!

Wiggins, born on February 23, 1995, has played 71 games for the Warriors this season, starting 59 of them. He averaged 27 minutes per game, 13.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.2 turnovers while shooting 45.3%, 35.8% and 75.1% from three. The average points per game, assists and steals are all the lowest in NBA careers.

Born on May 2, 1990, George played in 74 regular season games this season, averaging 33.8 minutes per game, scoring 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.5 blocks and 2.1 turnovers while shooting 47.1%, 41.3% and 90.7% from three. George's original contract was four years, $190 million, and his salary for the season was $45.64 million.

In this year's playoffs, George played an average of 37 minutes per game, scoring 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.5 blocks and 2.3 turnovers, shooting 41.1%, 36.7%, and 84% from three. The average points per game and three-point shooting percentage are lower than in the regular season, and the average turnovers per game are higher than in the regular season. The Clippers want to renew George's contract, but they just don't want to give him a 4-year contract! Final question: Do you think the Warriors should trade Kuminga for George?
