Paul signed with the Spurs for more than 11 million in 1 year
After the Warriors cut Paul, Paul agreed to a one-year contract with the Spurs for more than $11 million. Paul is reported to have had a pleasant conversation with Spurs coach Popovich, who was attracted by the culture and opportunities here and wanted to help Wembanyama improve the game. Paul is also eager and motivated to prove that he is still an elite defender in this league.
Last season, Paul played in 58 regular-season games for the Warriors, averaging 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.8 assists in 26.4 minutes of playing time, including a career-low scoring per game. The Warriors cut Paul's 30 million non-guaranteed contract, and although the Lakers and Clippers also became interested in him, Paul eventually chose to join the Spurs and join Wembanyama in the new season.
Harden signed a 2-year, 70 million contract extension with the Clippers
Harden and the Clippers agreed to a two-year, $70 million contract to stay with the Clippers. It is reported that this is a 1+1 contract, with a player option for the second year, and Harden can jump out of the contract next summer and become a free agent again.
In the 2023-24 season, Harden played in 72 regular season games, averaging 16.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game, shooting 42.8% from the field, 38.1% from three-point range, and 87.8% from the free throw line. In 6 playoff games, he averaged 21.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 8 assists per game. Leonard's injury plague also affected the Clippers' combat effectiveness, and they eventually lost 4-2 to the Mavericks in the first round.
Among active players, Harden ranks 3rd in total points, 4th in total assists, 5th in total steals, 2nd in total three-point attempts, 2nd in total free throws, 5th in total triple-doubles, 3rd in wins, 1st in 40+ points, and 3rd in 30+ points.
Porter Jr. signed with the Clippers on a two-year contract
Kevin Porter Jr. joins the Clippers on a two-year contract, with a player option for the second year. Porter Jr. left the NBA to play in Greece due to a domestic violence case, and now he is finally back in the NBA and getting a new opportunity from the Clippers. Joining the Clippers also means that Porter Jr. reunites with former teammate Harden, who briefly became teammates during the 2020-21 season. It is worth mentioning that the ex-girlfriend in Porter Jr.'s domestic violence case, Gundrezke, is now the rumored girlfriend of Jaylen Brown, FMVP.
Porter Jr. was the No. 30 pick in the first round in 2019 and played in 196 regular season games in his four-year career, averaging 15.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5 assists per game, shooting 43.1% from the field, 35.7% from three-point range and 72.5% from the free throw line.

With George already set to leave, Jones' arrival could bring some outside defense to the Clippers.
The Clippers officially announced that they parted ways with George
The Clippers released an official statement confirming their breakup with George. The original text is as follows-
George has informed us that he will be signing with another team. George is a gifted elite two-way offensive and defensive star who has made three All-Star appearances and broken the all-time three-point record in the last five years, taking the team to new heights. His performance against Jazz G5 and G6 in the 2021 playoffs will not be forgotten.
We've put a lot of effort into building the Pepper combo and we've been competitive over this time, and even though we didn't reach our goal, we're still grateful for the time we spent with George.
Heading into this offseason, all three of our core players are 33 years old and older, 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.
We negotiated the contract with George and his team for months, but we were far from an agreement. The differences between the two sides are enormous, and we understand and respect George's decision to look for other opportunities, and we explore the possibility of signing and trading, but we get very little in return under the constraints of the current collective bargaining agreement.
We'll miss George and we're excited about the new opportunities, Leonard is a first-team caliber player, we believe Tyronn Lue is the best coach in the league and we're going to rebuild a competitive team and use our strengths to continue attracting top talent."
Cunningham signed a five-year, $226 million extension for the Pistons
The Pistons will sign Cunningham to a five-year, $226 million max contract. Cunningham has been with the Pistons for three seasons, and in 2023-24 he played in 62 games for the team, averaging 22.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game while shooting 44.9% from the field, 35.5% from three-point range and 86.9% from the free throw line.

In the 2023-24 season, Pope played 76 regular season games for the Nuggets, averaging 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 steals in 31.6 minutes per game, shooting 40.6% from three-point range.
The Magic ranked last season in the league in three-point shooting and 24th in three-point shooting percentage, and now they have added a player who has a 40 percent three-point shooting percentage, and the biggest shortcoming is expected to be filled.
