Paul George seeking four-year contract in free agency
Among the key elements regarding Paul George’s future with the Clippers or elsewhere: League sources say that the 34-year-old continues to seek a new four-year contract. Returning to the Clippers has long been regarded as George’s preferred scenario, but L.A. is believed to this point to be offering a shorter deal along the lines of what it struck with Kawhi Leonard.

Paul George is still the platonic ideal of an NBA wing. I wrote about the player and the prototype, and the offseason market revolving around him: theringer.com/nba/2024/6/25/… – 12:32 PM

Paul George makes sense for any team, but at this stage in his career, not every roster makes the most sense for him.

If Paul George opts in, and winds up getting a max extension on a new team after a trade… is it at all possible that could go down without any tampering? Or would that be a 100% tampering scenario? – 2:23 PM

Alex Caruso is off the trade market. Pascal Siakam and Malik Monk have agreed to stay with their current teams. Paul George might be off the board, too.
So what’s next for the Sixers, as the draft and free agency loom?

More on this storyline
The five-time All-Star said he wants to return to the NBA next season, saying he does not care if he has to take on a bench role to make it happen. “I know how much the game means to me. How much I wanna get back to the game,” Wall told Paul George on Podcast P with paul George Presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment. “I’ve been an All-Star, I’ve been a franchise player before. It’s been a tough journey trying to get back there. The most important thing for me is just trying to stay healthy. “I know a lot of these teams have a lot of young guys on the team. They don’t have a lot of vets. I think you need those vets in the locker room. That’s what teams are missing. I’m willing to accept any role it is to be on a team. If it’s playing, not playing, being in the Udonis Halsem role. Anything like that. I just wanna be in an NBA jersey again because I know how much the game means to me, how much I still have left. If it’s helping the team playing, if it’s helping the team trying to be a coach or be a mentor, I’m willing to accept that.” -via Bleacher Report / June 24, 2024
I’m pretty sure that the Warriors are as interested in George as the Knicks — maybe more. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 24, 2024
