On July 1, Beijing time, the Clippers renewed Leonard's contract in the middle of last season, and now it is a two-year, $70 million contract extension for Harden, but there are still huge differences in the contract renewal negotiations for another core George. Now the Clippers have officially announced that George will leave the team, and the 76ers have become the number one favorite to pursue George, and are expected to join Embiid and Maxey to form a big three to win the championship. As for Wei Shao, he is being sold and traded, and Wei Shao and the Nuggets are interested in each other, announcing the official disintegration of the Clippers Big Four.

The Clippers officially released an announcement announcing George's departure: "George has informed us that he will be signing with another team. George is a gifted elite offensive and defensive player, having made three All-Star appearances in the past five years, breaking the all-time three-point record and taking the team to new heights (leading the team to the Western Conference finals for the first time). His performance against the Jazz G5 and G6 in the 2021 playoffs will not be forgotten. ”

"We've put a lot of effort into building the Pepper Combination, and we've been competitive during that time, and even though we didn't reach our eventual goal, we're grateful for the five years we've spent with George."

The Clippers also revealed that entering the offseason, the team's three core players are all over the age of 33, and two of them are likely to become free agents. We want to keep them under the existing collective bargaining agreement and continue to build our squad.

The Clippers said they had been negotiating a mutually acceptable contract with George and his team for months, but were far from reaching a deal. There are huge differences between the two sides, and we understand and respect George's decision to look for other opportunities, and we explore the possibility of signing and trading, but we have very little in return under the current collective bargaining agreement.

"We're going to miss George and we're excited about the new opportunities, Leonard is a first-team caliber and we believe Tyronn Lue is the best coach in the league and we're going to rebuild a competitive team and keep going, using our strengths to continue attracting top talent." So the Clippers officially wrote.

The 34-year-old George wants a four-year, $212 million max contract, but the Clippers are willing to give him a three-year contract below the max salary, leading to a huge rift between the two sides. George has been pursued by many teams such as the 76ers and the Warriors, of which the 76ers are the biggest favorites and are expected to join Embiid and Maxey to form a big three to compete for the championship.
