According to the latest media reports, George is between the 76ers, the Magic and the Clippers, and is more inclined to join the 76ers for 212 million in 4 years! Because so far, the Clippers have offered George a maximum contract of 3 years and 149 million, and the Magic has no intention of providing George with a contract of more than 4 years, preferring to provide him with a 3-year $150 million contract! And the Clippers are almost the same! Paul George averaged 22.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in the regular season in the 2023-2024 season, and could hit 3.3 three-pointers on 41.3% shooting!
Are you optimistic about such a big three?
Losing George must have been a very big loss for the Clippers! Because George has decided to reject the 48.7 million player option for the 2024-2025 season, if the Clippers can't match the contract offered by other teams, then the Clippers will lose Paul George for nothing, losing a small forward who was once selected for the league's two-team team! Don't forget, George was traded by the Clippers for Alexander, who is now one of the top three players in the league! And the Clippers themselves have nothing left.
The Clippers get Paul George 8-for-1
It can only be said that the management of the Clippers is really the most incompetent team management in the league, originally Paul George only wanted a 3-year $152 million contract like Xiaoka, but the team thought that Xiaoka was renewing his contract on the basis of his contract renewal, so he asked George to take a salary cut, and at first he was only willing to give George a 3-year $120 million contract. When the two joined the Clippers, they both signed the same contract (4 years, 160 million).
Little Card and George
And the management of the Clippers is even more incompetent than only reflecting the renewal of Paul George, when it came to trading Harden, it lasted from the offseason to the beginning of the season, but it was impossible to finalize the final trade decision, and finally brought Harden to the Clippers when team owner Ballmer came forward! And before the trade deadline of this past season, other teams were reinforcing the players, and the Clippers could only watch other teams select the players they wanted, and finally signed a psychologically problematic Kai Jones, who did not play a single playoff game, and just cut him in the offseason!
