Paul George is not looking to chase a championship in free agency: “I mean at this point, it’s not even about like people saying ‘chasing a championship’. Like it’s not that. But it’s playing the right style of basketball is what I’m chasing.”

Trade this guy
Fuck this guy. He has no desire to stay. If he did, he would’ve said so. Explicitly.
Now y’all see why the team doesn’t want to max him? He’s got different goals.
what’s the right style ? styles don’t win anyway. players do.
As Paul George flings the pass five rows into the stands and yells at Terance Mann for not flying 5 feet to get it
Sounds like he probably wanted to say that he’s not at the point of his career where he’d take a more limited role just to get a ring. That’s the common image of a player “chasing a championship”. But this quotes makes it sound like he just wants to get paid and have fun playing ball. Either way, it doesn’t change the fact that our best option is to re-sign him.
Funny thing is even if they ship his helmet head ass out, he’s still expecting his jersey to be retired from us lol
Great comment. Gotta do it the right way. If championships is everything then just sign 5 Zaza’s and injure every opponent.
Playing the right way is BARE MINIMUM for any professional player.
I would normally say GTFO, but the Clips are stuck. Signing him is the best option as he is a positive asset.
They should have been proactive and traded him last year.
Why not just say the truth?
You want the max contract you can get
Its all the money
Hes just trying to keep it unclear on purpose.. he probably doesn’t even know what he wants right now aside from money
This guy is clueless. Why would we pick up Russ or trade for Harden? Playing the right style of basketball isn’t pullup chucks hero ball turnovers or looking around at who was protecting the rim when you were the big man during small ball.
