[Law Murray] News @TheAthletic coming on Paul George being miffed by LA Clippers initial offer of 2 years, $60m last fall before leaving for 4 years, $212m to join Philadelphia 76ers

That is disrespectful if true, best for both sides to move on though.

PG also confirmed he asked for a no trade clause
said he negotiated the 2yr/60m up to 3yr/150, and said all along he wouldve taken the Kawhi deal (3/153). but asked for the no trade on the 3 yr by the end.
thought it was noteworthy Ohm Youngmisuk randomly put in the no trade as a possibility in his article last month, and turns out Ohm included it because PG was asking for it

Clippers initial offer was for sure a lowball and I could understand PG being miffed. However, they eventually offered him his ask of 3/150 to match Kawhi but he retraded them asking for a no trade clause or a 4th year. Understandable from his perspective after seeing what we did to Blake. But, he also told them he’d take that deal and they did offer it to him.
I see both sides to it.

2 years, 60 million is an insulting offer tbh

2 years, $60 million is another way of saying, “enjoy free agency, Paul.”

Hopefully negotiations will be a lot smoother with Big Zu.

I don’t blame pg for chasing the bag

They gave Harden of all players 2 year 70 mill, i dont blame PG leaving either lol hes got a better shot out east anyway with more dependable players.

Pretty much if the team had came to the table and met him with what Kawhi signed early on he would still be here.
Being offered 2/60 in October is honestly pretty disrespectful. That’s a “Hey let’s offer Paul something light and let’s hope he jumps on it because he was injured in the playoffs vs Phoenix”.

We’ll probably be rebuilding in a year or 2 anyway 🤷🏻♂️

No trade clause? So basically when I stink it up again y’all stuck with me on max money All yours Philly.

Ngl in his podcast you could see PG wanted to stay. Clippers were disrespectful asf

Basically the team wanted to move on but didn’t want to be rude and threw out an offer they knew he wouldn’t take. Breakups are hard lol

What does this man think ‘glue guys” make?
throgmortal
You had every chance to earn it in the playoffs and you disappeared – honestly looked like you didn’t want to get injured.
James harden is a better player than you and he accepted 2/70
I see no issue. Proud of our FO and franchise for not caving. Enjoy Philly 👋🏻
Both of your hometown franchises boo you now.

The Clippers pretty much had moved on from him.

Im sorry this is just dumb by Lawrence and co you gave up the future for PG and you lost him for nothing. SGA is a top 5 talent in the league meanwhile we will be even worse this year. Idk how other fans can stomach how bad of a situation we are in especially with owners/gms like this.

Feels like the Clips FO was tired of dealing with him and decided to force his hand by with that lowball offer.

This makes the Kawhi extension make less sense.

So what do fans who have been shitting on PG for weeks have to say

2 years at 60m each? Or 60m total?
That’s a bad starting off point if it’s 2 years at 60m. Maybe satisfies the rules of negotiating in real life but not in the NBA.
Shows a lack of good faith negotiating. L. Frank big L.
