LA Clippers Hesitant to Offer Paul George More Money Than Kawhi Leonard Amid Lack of Interest from 76ers
Is the leverage over for Paul George?
The Sixers could have offered Paul George $212 million, which would have given leverage to PG in the trade market. This update has also put an end to the rumors of a potential union between Joel Embiid and George. On last night's episode of The Hoop Collective, ESPN's Tim Bontemps talked about PG's chances of receiving a max offer from the Clippers.
Tim said, “If he doesn’t get a max, it’s because Clippers don’t believe it’s worth it to go into the second apron to keep him.” According to reports, the Clippers are prepared to extend PG's contract by three years, but according to Bontemps, they won't give him his preferred four-year contract until they are certain that their roster is strong enough to contend for a championship.
