Paul George likely to stay in LA?

Get Up: “[Paul George] is the biggest domino that is going to affect a whole bunch of big names over the next three or four days.” —@WindhorstESPN on the impact PG-13 could have on free agency 👀 pic.twitter.com/lAQhgJTYG0 -via Twitter @GetUpESPN / June 28, 2024

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

League sources say the Warriors, who have a sensitive free agency situation of their own with Klay Thompson, have legitimate interest in making George part of their new core alongside Steph Curry and Draymond Green. -via New York Times / June 28, 2024
