OKC won the trade

I’m starting to think that Paul George is overrated. Dude is a playoff dropper. Whatever team gets him won’t win anything

We all knew he was declining his option. It’s less common for players to accept their player option…

Remember all that bullcrap in interviews about him being "playoff p"? All he does is shrink in the playoffs despite being on some insanely good teams. He's not a max contract player.

Not an Orlando magic fan but it was reported that Paul George is meeting with them and they are a young add up-and-coming team so I think the media might be sleeping on them a little

IMO Orlando is a much better situation than the Clippers, in terms of winning as well. Much easier path in the East

Clippers finally showing a backbone and not making bad decisions to cripple their future any further while still not winning

Bro really refused $50 million 💀.. man I would do anything to even get 1% of that

OkC ....does NOT want PG or KD.

PG to Orlando would be so dope, but would probably hurt them down the line when contracts are due. 1. Jalen Suggs 2. Paul George 3. Franz Wagner 4. Paolo Banchero 5. Jonathan Isaac Nasty

The 76ers are gonna max him, Morey is star hunting. I don’t think the clippers will fold because demar derozan and klay are on the market for cheaper. Maybe even miles bridges

clippers should call his bluff, dudes from cali and gets to live at home ... hes got it good and hasnt done anything worthy of the contract other than the name

If the clippers max him out it will be the biggest mistake they could make he isn’t worth $50m and at almost 40 paying him that would be idiotic. Smart move by the clippers

If he takes a pay cut and goes back to the Pacers to chase a ring I will nut (Ik this is probably most definitely not going to happen, but as a huge PG24 fan let me dream)

Embiid, Maxey, George. Hell of an upgrade over Tobias Harris.

Lebron taking a paycut and Lakers picking up PG would be comedy

At least Clipper fans can get normal blood pressure again after all these years

He wants his 200M for 4 years based on his prime years

Bro censored the tweet like we don't already know 😂😂

They will be the 3rd best team in the east because I don’t trust Paul George and Embiid in the playoffs, especially PG who has made numerous statements about being content with his position

what are you talking about the sixers will 100% be offering him the absolute max

I thought his sweatshirt said cocaine 😂

Philly is the "obvious" option, but Wemby as a teammate must sound nice, and Orlando has a really good young group that he could pay bet well next to. Does he really want to go to Philly and play where yet again injury is a concern?

He is a great player but asking for asking for a 4 year max contract when you are 34 years old and havent do a thing in the post season is crazy. No as crazy as Klay but still.

I like Pg but if you’re 34, you’re not playing to win, you’re not taking a pay cut, that’s a red flag

PG isn’t the old PG. He’s often injured, & while still a great player his game has diminished.

NBA players are just something else asks for more then you are worth if you get it the rest of the team suffers then they bitch that they have no help or they ruin a team’s future then when they don’t win they want out of the team they destroyed like KD lol

No one is going to give Klay 40 a year XD

Detroit can also afford him, I think. I know, I know but for the sake of completeness, the Pistons can also afford him. I've actually read in articles that Philly and Detroit are the only two teams that can afford him (if he wants the max amount he can get). But I won't doubt you about the other teams, those articles might've been written by an AI for all I know.

I would love him in Orlando. Not even a fan but the fit there would be soooo tough

pg is not worth a max unless a team is desperate

Why would 76ers want another Tobias Harris that bricks 3 pointer at the backboard

Philly is dumb enough to supermax.

people need to stop overrating paul george

Coming to Orlando 🎉

You people must be smoking something if you really think Paul George has the leadership skills to win a championship..better wake TF up

Players just want to get paid. They don’t care about winning championships anymore.

I thought he liked being "home".

LET THE GAMES BEGIN

He is not a fcking max player let him go. What a waste of money to begin with

Giving Klay 40 a year is insane!!! That’s what OG Anunoby just got no way somebody pays Klay that money

I pray to god Orlando don’t pick up Paul George. He is a good player but I prefer Klay or a trade for Trae young. In the media will start saying PG and the magic on tv. Where it should be Poalo Banchero and the Orlando Magic instead

PG+Wemby would be fun as hell.

HES RARELY AVAILABLE FOR WORK. AND HE GETTING OLD

I wonder why no one talks about the Lakers.

Owner is only concerned about seling seats. Never once did consider PG a elite star. Personal opinion, nor a HOF😂

PG13 is just turned 34 in May. Giving him 4-year max money is bad investment. Bets options. 1. Staying in LAC with pay cut, like decreasing contract. 2. PHI because they are in win-now mode.

Watching this after PG signed with Philly is funny

Being PG I would go to ORL. You will be the main guy with hard working defensive players around you. Plus East = easier way to finals.

If he says he wants to stay West Coast why would Philly even be an option

Sixers should throw their 5 firsts for Lauri 💁

Why not the Lakers, Paul?

I hope it's the clippers. That increase the worth of the 28 pick the sixers own even more!

Yooo clippers need to get jimmy

Philly does the same thing every year, no matter who they try to pair with Embid. It really doesn’t matter if the man can’t stay healthy, especially in the playoffs. Realistically, Orlando is a very hot, up and coming team. I wouldn’t be surprised if PG signed there. Orlando has the money for it and the roster support. Clips are like the sixers but in the west, they can’t do anything in the playoffs without Kawhi. History speaks for itself.

The nickname “Playoff P” is one that Paul George cannot escape, for better or worse.

Orlando

This aged well

I thought it said "Columbine" at first. 👀

I feel like he is about to hit the decline portion of his career. He just doesn't seem into it anymore. He's a vet that has made a bunch of money and never really accomplished anything. Anyone giving him a 4 year supermax deal will be regretting it by the end of Year 2. Then, he's going to be a cap liability. Dude is already battling injury problems and he is barely in his 30's.

Something that is worrying the Sixers.. Yean its called the 4 year max deal that George is demanding to leave LA 😂

He doesn't want to be a clipper, make it to the play-offs, and see Kawhi watching from the bench again. I thunk he might wanna go and play with Wemby.

Orlando Magic

He signed with Philly

Earning or declining 48.7 million US dollars a year as a base salary is a lot of money 💰. That's approximately 49 million US dollars in a year. These Basketball 🏀 players also still earns seperate annual revenue from endorsements, commercials, etc. Peace ✌️🕊️.

Do you realize that PG was talking glowingly about Paolo and the Magic being an upcoming team. I think you are being a little biased and selling the Magic short.

All the stars in their mid 30s entering free agency are in for a rude awakening.... I'm sorry but guys like PG, Klay, James Harden etc shouldn't be on max contracts now let alone in 3-4 years. Let the young guys eat

I love PG and i understand he wants to maximize his career earnings, but it makes me wonder how badly he wants to win a championship if he's trying to go get a max deal right now. Personally I'd love to see him play with Wemby and they would instantly compete for titles if they added a couple of other role players or another older star like Klay Thompson

Nah....he's been on the market for a MAX contract since the end of the season....but nobody can afford his asking price...its just a formality that he's now letting people know on paper that's he's opted out...but GMs all know.

Paul is great , but ….. it’s just when I watch him it seems like he doesn’t care when he loses in the playoff games there is no emotion given . It’s just “ oh we tried we’ll come back next year “

Bye bye Paul George. Get outta here. We don’t want you here anymore.

The land parts of the globe on your hoodie got keyed out lol

I’m a clippers fan that thinks he should go back to pacers 🤷🏾‍♂️

There goes the warriors chances. Better this way imo. I want better role players rather then an aging star that's taking so much cap space

Uhhh Paul George will be 35 next season. This is how Phoenix got duped by Bradley Beal. Paying players based on what they used to be.

Imagin paul George in a parallel world in memphis

This didn’t age well. (PG13 signed with 76er’s and hour after his video)

LOL Paul George is ONLY meeting with teams that can pay him $50M+ annually and it just shows he don't care AT ALL about getting a ring. At least meet with OKC dawg 😭 They can pay you $30M AND give you a ring. He's not even worth the $48M his player option was worth.

I actually think that 76ers is a good fit for Paul George because if he joined the Philadelphia then they'll be better than most of the majority of the eastern teams because the competition in the east is pretty weak, there's only 2 teams or 3 (if Giannis and Dame can figure it out) but there are only 2 real title contending teams and it's the Boston and Knicks so if he joined in the west he can go for a ECF appearance meanwhile if he joined the Warriors then it'll get more harder to win a series in the west because they have 5 teams who are a title contender so I'm pretty sure that Philadelphia is a great pick for Paul..

He needs a ring

My Bestfriend cuts his hair and all I know is the he doesn’t wanna go to the east coast thing is real

Whichever team gets him will be doomed

Chris Paul , Jonathan kuminga , and klay Thompson for Kawhi leanord and paul George

Hes not a max player but the lakers might get him

4 or 5 years if he wanted 3 years he would've sign with the Clippers.....

But Kawhi got paid? Why?

Pg is good but he’s no longer worth the max smart move by the clippers

SAN ANTONIO??

Tyrese Maxey is one of those prayers you want No-Body to take plays away from; so no PG to Philly! 😊

Smart move. There is a chance of getting hurt next year, or hitting the wall and his numbers drop like a rock and no teams will offer him anything close to a max deal.

Him ending his career as a pacer would be great

Elite clickbaiting

If the Sixers aren't willing to even offer PG a max contract then they're an even bigger joke franchise than I thought.

The clippers literally rebuild Okc than transformed to be the same old clippers the health of kawhi failed and Paul gorge did take them to the wcf but ultimately failed the mission

I just had a crazy realisation: OG is getting a bigger contract than Paul George. Just think about that...

Well, Why would a team sign Paul George? Hasn't he a history of playoff choking hardcore? Or am I in the wrong? Also, why would the Sixers gives a single fck about their superbaby? He will go 30/11 in the season for sure, only to get hurt, cries he doens't get mvp, be a drama boii about being horrible in the playoffs, getting older, getting hurt more...trade Embiid...build around Maxey. Embiid has massive value, he will not win you a title. If you trade him, he probally will.

lol sixers are aggressively pursuing PG what you mean

Is it too late for him to get traded to the Bucks for Middleton?????????

If im the clippers im at least gonna entertain a S&T. Resigning PG until hes old af for 50/yr is laughable. At least get back something. But its looking more like hes just gonna sign straight up for another team, leaving the clips in the dust.

I feel like Lebron and Curry are tricking us into believing all good players will be able to play at the same level deep into their 30's. This used to be rare. If someone is after contracts at 34 and wants a ring, take less as you age. PG isn't as good as he was, so shouldn't be getting the same money. He should aim for a team he thinks he can win with, take less so they can keep the team around him.
