The future of Paul George with the Los Angeles Clippers remains uncertain as the team and the player are in a staredown over an extension at less than max value. The Clippers have expressed a desire to retain George, with Lawrence Frank stating that they hope he stays but will respect his decision if he opts out. As George approaches his contract deadline, the Golden State Warriors and the Philadelphia 76ers are emerging as top suitors for George should he leave the Clippers. The Warriors are reportedly considering a trade for George, while the 76ers are also interested in acquiring him as a free agent. George's three real options this offseason include re-signing with the Clippers, opting in and forcing a trade to the Warriors, or signing with the 76ers.
I still see some issues. Not so much from the Warriors' side. If they're PG13's choice, they can negotiate hard. The thorny parts, to me, are on LACs' side. What would be worth sending George to a rival? Why not just give the 4th year & keep him? Can always trade him later. https://t.co/Sn1JnDp4zT
