With his free agency NBA approaching, it is very possible that one of the top players in the league will be free.
The reason for him Paul Georgewhose future in Clippers it seems uncertain to say the least. “PG” has an option in his contract as to whether he will remain with his team LAand he must make his decision by Saturday (29/06) on whether he will activate.
For that to happen, however, the 34-year-old wants to… secure himself for the future as he requests a max contract 221 million dollars for the next 4 years. The Clippers, on the other hand, don’t seem willing to offer him that, which brings the two sides further and further apart.
On the other hand, Los Angeles franchise president Frank Lawrence was clear about the team’s stance. “We really want to keep Paul, but we also understand and have a lot of respect for the fact that this is a business and players have a limited amount of time to be able to not just make the most money, but to be able to pursue whatever they want.
We hope Paul’s decision is to stay. He was awesome. He was an All-Star three out of five years. He is one of the best two-way players in the league. He is an awesome person. He has a great family so hopefully he will be here. But we also respect the fact that if he chooses to opt-out, that’s his choice. He earned it and we’ll see how things go.”he said in detail.
The 9-time NBA All-Star, Paul George, this is one of the top players of the last fifteen years in the NBA. Last season, he averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists with the Clippers.
