Lawrence Frank discussed Paul George, James Harden negotiations.
The event of George opting out of his contract and reaching unrestricted free agency is a possibility that the Clippers have discussed for several weeks and still seems to be the most likely scenario. pic.twitter.com/5eJu7Ixj5l – 8:05 PM

Don’t get the Warriors rumors regarding Paul George, especially at a four-year max. He’s 34, three months younger than Klay, and like Klay, not quite the player he was before a serious leg injury. Also further muddies Kuminga/Wiggins situation. – 1:07 PM

DeMar DeRozan is a potential Paul George replacement for the Clippers via sign-and-trade, if he indeed decides to leave Los Angeles, per @KCJHoop.
With the Bulls preparing for a possible rebuild, DeRozan could make his exit this offseason for a true title contender. pic.twitter.com/4tMXhAb40L – 12:57 PM

If I’m the Clippers right now I’d probably be angling to trade Paul George to Houston for those Suns picks if KD is off the table. That feels like a rare opportunity to take advantage of a team that seems desperate (when they shouldn’t be!) for some high-upside rebuilding assets. – 9:40 AM

So the #Knicks landed Mikal Bridges… that’s bad for the #Sixers. More bad? Insiders think NYK still re-signs OG Anunoby.
But the Knicks should now likely be out of the Paul George sweepstakes, that could be good news.

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

More on this storyline
League sources say the Denver Nuggets, for example, had serious interest recently in the prospect of adding George by way of a possible extend-and-trade with the Clippers (if he chose to go that route). Yet in addition to giving George the max deal he so desires, they also would have had to give up Michael Porter Jr., Zeke Nnaji and a significant amount of draft capital. The Nuggets value their draft picks perhaps as much as any other contender in the league, and so their interest ended there. But that situation is informative for a team such as the Warriors, who would surely prefer to add George while not giving up any other assets (other than matching money). -via New York Times / June 28, 2024
