Hawks, Warriors Interested In Trading For Paul George
The Philadelphia 76ers aren't shopping Paul George, but that hasn't kept teams from calling to express interest. The latest teams to show interest in trading for George were the Atlanta Hawks and Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors have been active and engaged on any number of All-Stars ahead of the trade deadline. Golden State had previously pursued George via sign-and-trade before he chose to sign with Philadelphia. The Hawks would represent a pivot, for a franchise that has been building up through the draft and by retaining their own players.
George is in the first year of the four-year, $211.6 million contract he signed with the Sixers this past offseason. This first season with the Sixers hasn't gone as planned, as George has missed 18 games. The veteran wing has also struggled to get going on the court, putting up the lowest stats since he became an All-Star in 2013.
