The wing market starts with Paul George.
The word still has been for weeks and months now that the Clippers are not willing to go above the three year 153 that they extended Kawhi this past season for anyone.
Not Paul George, not James Harden that they are projecting to their own agents of their clients, which they are allowed to do right now.
That is what has lent credence to the threats of Philadelphia for one to lavish Paul George with a four year max.
The thought though is that Paul George does not want to leave L A.
He wanted to go to L A dating back to when he was with the Pacers and even though he had a stopover with OKC and resign there, he went to L A.
His parents sit courtside at every game.
L A dude living it up.
Happy to be home.
We’ll see.
It is, this is a big staring contest, but whatever he does has all these impacts the most direct one is Philly.
Yeah, because he’s there.
He’s their banner a option.
The Sixers would prefer to use their space.
They have upwards of 60 million.
They wanna use their space on someone as opposed to having a mortgage draft capital to add someone because they would like to keep that draft capital to further add once they were to bring a third star next to Tyrus Maxie and next to Del and Bead who is being held up while other dominoes are being held up by that.
You may be asking all the winks from Klay Thompson to Contus Caldwell, Pope Miles Bridges.
Those are like the biggest names I would say at this juncture OG A and OBI as well.
His situations also looped into the Paul George thing because he is someone on Billy’s list that they could go and use that cap space for.
He is someone that potentially could be sent out of New York if the Knicks were to make a move of Paul George.
