Paul George Declines $48.8M Option With Clippers To Become Free Agent 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Jun 29, 2024 8:42 pm

Paul George is declining his $48.7 million player option for the 24-25 season with the Los Angeles Clippers to become a free agent.


George joined the Clippers in 2019 in a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder involving Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, four unprotected picks and two pick swaps. 


George has been an All-Star in three of the past four seasons. In 23-24, George played in 74 games and averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists while shooting 41.3 percent on three-pointers. 


George is represented by Aaron Mintz.

He's not honestly expecting to get more than $49m, right? Surely, he's doing it to help the Clippers save money. It's the only thing that makes sense.
SELL THE TEAM, JIM!!! :curse:
