END OF AN ERA? 😦 Klay Thompson & Paul George may be ON THE MOVE this NBA offseason 👀 | SportsCenter

it’s Randy Scott and Gary sty back with you on Sports Center no offseason for us but the NBA offseason officially underway first date you should Circle the draft next Wednesday on ABC and ESPN then Saturday the 29th the last day for team or player options to be exercised and that includes LeBron James then free agency begins a week after that and then Vegas summer league in mid July we welcome in Sebastian Christenson to talk about it all and Sebastian it’s kind of funny right we’re talking about you know hey could the be the next great Dynasty before we get to that let’s talk about the most recent one we’ve seen the Warriors potentially losing a Cornerstone franchise piece in Klay Thompson who’s looking for a new deal somewhere maybe still in the Bay Area take us into that situation there’s nothing tougher for a team Gary than walking the fine line between giving a franchise Superstar a proper forwell and knowing when to let go negotiations between the Golden State Warriors and Clay Thompson have gone nowhere as of late Warriors do want him back at the right price but we’ve seen no progress yet Klay Thompson is 34 years old he hasn’t been the same since his last knee injury especially on the defensive side of the ball where I thought he one of the best perimeter Defenders on the NBA I understand we side of things they want to avoid the second tax apron and they are facing a tough decision I also understand Clay’s side of it potential suiters for clay might be the Philadelphia 76ers with their ample cap space Also the Orlando Magic but play Team exceeding what they think of their Market you know that’s a different question but as of now Gary I really think we might be heading to the end of an era in Golden State you mentioned a couple of those teams could be suitors for this next guy we’re going to talk about too Paul George player option remains on his current deal with the clips should George and La split though what are some possible scenarios and destinations uh for PG the a Time Allstar I’ll tell you what they’re not out for a four-year Max extension to Paul George and that tells us a lot as you said George has a player option and the Clippers have been reluctant to give George an extension as rich as Kawhi Leonards despite all his injuries I am confident that another team will offer Paul George a for your max extension Clippers know about this and they’re not doing nothing about it which to me is fascinating you know we shall see if at the end of the day it is a 76ers with their c space if it is the near Nick they would have to go a different route a might be even possible at the end of the day but if George lands in New York or in Philly it will definitely shake up the East he’s 34 years old but he still has Superstar traits if that happens only then and only then Gary Boston will have ample competition in the eastn conference of course the rich get richer out east Paul georgem man he’s still productive despite being 34 years young 22 points per game that was second on the Clippers last season ahead of James Harden who averaged 16 points per game he too is a free agent heading into this offseason basically what we’re trying to say is the Clippers have a ton of decisions to make Sebastian Christensen Enlighten us this morning on sports centerba [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
