Paul George’s INSANE Contract Demands DESTROY Gil’s Arena



Paul George’s INSANE Contract Demands DESTROY Gil’s Arena

did the Clippers fumble the PG resigning or was he asking for too much uh I’m just trying to understand the no trade clause thing like who do some of these players think they are uh smart I mean you can think you’re smart but you’re your game ain’t showing that you have that opport bro stop over there certain players shouldn’t be asking for a no trade clause I’m sorry do you feel like Paul George is one of those players who shouldn’t be asking for a no trade clause no he shouldn’t no great player but have you done for me like like what have you done to be like you know what n I’m going to make sure that you yeah you can make the decision no you ain’t bringing in no ring you ain’t we ain’t successful nothing no bro no that [ __ ] is whack 74 gam know what trade clause means that I that you can’t trade me without me agreeing exactly so no no I’m not listen if I want to get your ass out of here and you ain’t doing nothing get your ass out of here facts you can’t be play off we Ain win as a player why would you be why would you why would you be in a big city and give a team leverage to send your ass to Minnesota Milwaukee fine Detroit because I already gave because I’m talking about your brand you are a brand why would you want if you’re La based or you’re Chicago based or New York based or Miami or Boston based and you are a main player your name is a star why would you let them put you in a city like OKC you’re you’re done I’m not doing anything here first of all I’m it don’t M I’m not talking you’re talking about basket I’m talking about your brand you’re not selling your brand in OKC well I should have been doing my job first before basketball come first right so I should have I’m not doing my job here it’s time for me to go they don’t want me no more obviously I’m not cooking up like that more okay cool but this is where I want to go I don’t have that I’m not I don’t have that leverage yeah you do you put no no trade calls your leverage that’s for a superstar that’s a St that’s a star it’s called A smart business that’s a star no you’re a star you’re not a superstar you’re a star you’re a [ __ ] star not a superstar [ __ ] it’s called these [ __ ] think they’re Superstars a lot of these [ __ ] are star he get no trade he’s in a big city he didn’t get the no trade in he’s a big city what is the difference smart smart businessman no if he’s signing pH you guys are not thinking about buiness fine you can and I’m a businessman too you ain’t done [ __ ] get on the hell no but in Philly I’m a business and he got on okay but I’m not give you no no trade clause you can take your brand and go on we trying to do something different than when it ain’t working with here and and then you want me to give you this money and give you a no trade clause when I a give kaai one so basically like come on bro what like Man 3 years 15 with the no trade clause or if y’all don’t want to do the no trade give me 4 years 212 give 12 man you train wherever [ __ ] you want you know what they said it ain’t worth it okay that’s all I’m say that too that too that too that too that first that first every player don’t have that leverage bro and every guys Stars though there’re they’re stars and they’re Superstars you’re not Steph Curry you’re not Kevin Durant you’re not LeBron James these guys that’s asking for no trade clause you’re not on that level first of all that’s not that’s not the leverages is if are you’re going to lose me and get nothing yeah yeah or you give me what I want so I give you two options they was cool with him walking I’m saying they was cool with him you’re not worth it they know he was walking they it don’t matter now cuz they like we we still got Ka we cool we don’t really need you like that I’m just talking about logistics dog Logistics Logistics say if I know you can’t if I know you can’t afford to lose me cuz you get nothing I mean free agent that means if I leave you get nothing for me which hurts a franchise so either give me what Kawai got right I’ll take that money right there but throw this in but no trade clause that’s a note okay then give me foure 212 and you can trade me wherever you want and that’s and that’s a no cuz that wasn’t on the table to begin so you’re changing the terms based on you asking to get what Kawai got and then you want something that he didn’t get yes no or I’m going go give me just my four years or you can take your ass to so I took they was cool that yes and we’re cool with that goodbye they didn’t want to give him that based on the terms of him asking give me what kawhai got no give me what kawhai got but I want no trade CLA and that’s different that’s a whole different contract that’s a whole different and you a and he’s better they think he’s better I’m not saying he’s better but they think we’re going to keep H is is Paul George smart for asking what he did or is Kawai dumb for not putting it this contract I mean Kawai ain’t going nowhere so it don’t matter which one is it who got the who got the guarantee cuz if if Kawai somebody must have got the guarantee who one of I mean I mean ka’s deal got done in January it must have been a got to be some kind of if he didn’t I’m pretty sure he asked for no trade claws too this like why would you not ask for but if he didn’t we don’t know if he didn’t he didn’t get it if he didn’t get it he’s just like let’s just do the deal [ __ ] it let’s do it let’s go let’s go but he more so the question is who’s who’s who’s smarter the guy who asked for I mean you can ask for you didn’t get it so it don’t mean I got 22 what did he say give me 212 and you can trade me wherever you want he got 212 so he won that wasn’t what he wanted he no he didn’t he wanted to stay in La for for his career he wanted the appropr amount of I gave you two options my two options is give me kawai’s deal with a with a with a no trade clause or give me 4 years 212 those are the two things that I’m asking for I got one right okay well go get your right yeah so you can’t say the organization ain’t loyal and all this other [ __ ] when you say this I want this or give me this and they say we not we can’t give you this and we’re not going to give you this it’s go so now you have to say somebody else is going to give me that over here I’m I’m going to go over here but I no longer banking on they were banking on that he was going to just stay home it didn’t work take the same deal Kawai got that’s what we was banking on cuz that’s what you they thought it was a slap in the face the fact that he even asked for that that’s what it was then you want to ask me for 212 go remember what he said they start two for 60 two for 60 he’s like yo you slapping me in the face right now right that was coming off in 2023 he didn’t play in the playoff numbers game type [ __ ] so then when gets to 50 a year threee 50 uh 150 yeahhuh all right now we talking he I feel good now okay this is like the kaai deal give me the same deal and we good but throw this in there nah [ __ ] that we didn’t came too far already we we started here at [ __ ] 2year 60 [ __ ] we had 3year 150 you wouldn’t you want more bro listen he got his money congratulations but that no trade clause stuff for some of these players they got to stop asking for so Brandon to your point according to athletic only 10 NBA players had a true no trade clause I’ll read those no trade yeah so Bill’s the last one but wow you got D he out of there after this after this season out saying this this why and and as an owner as an owner slap in the face you want me to give you a no trade Club doing [ __ ] after that hell hell no what you get 280 so so he got 280 something so you’re so you basically got you guys are saying if you was the player thought you wouldn’t even be you wouldn’t even ask for it if I’m not like that if I’m not a superstar like that [ __ ] if I ain’t like that I know my I everybody in the NBA know their status you get you’re doing a whole lot like oh why you can’t ask for it but I mean what he’s saying is that your your play your performance everything got to line up for that I understand exactly what you’re saying but look at PG and his situation I can opt out of this last year I can become a free agent give me this no trade clause or I’m going walk and y’all don’t get you okay you walk and you got your money cool congratulations but I’m not giving you that no tra but I’m just from give our oh no no from leard all NBA you’re best player to ask for Leonard all NBA 3 for 152 let me see okay how about this how about this right now olymp right now right now when when when um wi’s rookie dealers up and rookie and he says I want to know trade clause y’all gonna give it to him or not this is going his numberers going to be matter are you going to give it to wiy or not yes give it to there we go yep win is better than Paul George and and uh Bradley Bill yes for that courney athletic only 10 players in history have had a true no trade clause in their contract I’m going to read those players names for you David Robinson John Stockton Kobe Bryant Tim Duncan Kevin Garnett Dirk Dwayne Wade LeBron James Carmello Anthony and Bradley Bill go say the names before Bradley Bill David Robinson John Stockton Kobe Bryant Tim Duncan Kevin garet Dirk new whsy Dwayne Wade LeBron James Carmelo Anthony and what’s wrong with Bradley Bill and then Bradley he’s on that top tier he’s on that tier to be asking for a no trade close he’s on that tier of players be honest Gil Paul George is on that top tier of players on that Gilbert’s name should be on there should be on there but in wom so when so when Bradley Bill asked for that no trade clause he averaged 3556 and four then the following year he averag 31 4 and four and ask for no was he all NBA hey hey hey he was all NBA hey yo what what was his team ranked it don’t matter no no no I mean no it does it does matter it does matter it matter youn or no are you winning or what was this or not everybody I just named they do both they win and they up here when they asked for it yes when they asked for it you got to think about the circumstances dog was he winning no okay so got ask about the circumstan those those are the circumstances the circumstances are we with let me hear that let me let’s paint the picture John Wall is down right he’s hurt the man the the star players out I’m the number two guy I average 30 then 31 I become the the franchise player now did I might might might 35 wait did he average 35 he average 30 then 31 let the league scoring he let the league scoring okay okay he let the league in scoring I think that year he’s a free agent then mhm which means who has all the power B your number one guy is out I’m the new franchise guy I have all the power I’m a free agent this is my terms okay what you going to do you can get this money but you’re not getting this trade no or then go or I can walk and that’s fine and that’s gave him the money what they do with nothing they traded his ass two years later they traded him years later destination guy franchise guy why am I getting traded I shouldn’t even be getting traded it don’t matter you’re you’re I I can now say where I want to go if you no longer want me but I know you don’t have the leverage now I have the you’re forgetting about the leverage I have the leverage as a player he’s gone your man the man is HT I’m the new guy my contract is up what what what are we talking about here I want the max deal I want the max I want no trade clause [ __ ] if I want a fish tank in my floor what do you that get it there well that no but I’m telling you what I want or I’m walking I leave you have me gone you get nothing for see that’s the difference when I’m a free agent you get nothing for me you get nothing back you lose a whole man this is not a sign trade this is a this is gone like when Kawai left Toronto look how it messed up the franchise they got nothing for him he bounced this is not a sign and trade like if they would have signed them and then traded them with the Clippers they probably could have got like a Lou Williams and a Tre back for him they lose you get nothing for the guy so the Clippers he left what do you get you get nothing now you sitting here in free agent trying to make that money back up yeah you got a lot of money but what did you get you got nothing cuz you can’t use it we we can’t use it we still have Superstars still have stars we still got what we we still got Stars willing to that what place what place was Clippers in we still got Stars fourth I believe fourth right with Paul George averaging what uh 23 I believe 23 23 you won million now he walked now he walked there’s no replacement for him so where does that put your team you think you’re fifth so Paul George 235 rebounds four assist you got nothing let’s go back to the DFT we got James Harden got James hard million deal we had him last year no but we had somebody in the way we had him last is a 30o night guy and we had another [ __ ] over here had last but James was going to become a free agent you now can use some of that money that PG left on the table no no they did play James Derrick Jones Jr as well from the MK who who you who’ you get for Paul George do you’re losing 23 points a game like like if this happened at the beginning of the if this was the first thing that happened now you now you can backt TR okay let’s go get clay and get some you you this is you wasn’t expecting him to leave you thought you had time to negotiate I think they just felt like man we don’t care what he going to do exactly we don’t care we’ll go back to the we give where you got where you got Clippers at we don’t know I guarantee you I guarantee you right now they’re madad I guarantee you they’re mad that the other two they signed for guaranteed contracts cuz now it’s basically blown it’s blown up it’s it’s it’s not fully the the glass is not fully blown but you cracked it you’re missing cuz the two guys he wanted he kept I mean you keep hardening Ka two guys and Russ is still there you remember you remember they thought they was about trading them they can’t do that now trading who remember they was talking about trading Russ right I think they’re still talking about that [ __ ] that’s F we can Russ want to stay home we still got got we still got super Russ opted in to oped in his deal 4 million oh yeah don’t know why 4 million yeah he good he good but there got three they got three of the guys now I know I guarantee you Russ is mad right now cuz PG left all that money’s left if he was a free agent oh you got to pay me now see this is this is not thinking about that they think about how could we put ourselves in position to win a championship It Ain’t About It Ain’t About winning a championship you thought your whole team was going to stay so you was willing to take a sacrifice one guy left now there’s all this money open now they about to overpay for somebody that they didn’t want no no they’re going to get a good solid piece that’s going to in James hard going to have to step up kawh Lind let me ask let me ask Russ going come in let me ask you let me ask you guys a question then knowing what we know now if you’re Russ would you have stayed in like you did or would you be would you rather be opting out right now if I’m wrest I’m opting out okay for sure cuz you know you’re are you using your numbers to get more what are you using yeah numbers uh numbers everything no not even numbers I know you need me now oh after this move is after the move yeah I mean yeah so he opted in before the moveed he didn’t know about it he had a deadline to opt in opted in before the move PG leaves you give Harden the two for7 you give Derrick Jones 3 for 30 I just think Russ is a commitment guy man he’s a team commitment guy he wanted to show look man it don’t matter let’s just get this [ __ ] going saying but cool but now I’m like you giving drick Jones that money [ __ ] I I mean let me go ahead inside he could have signed a one year what 15 20 maybe brought Batum in and Batum is making listen more than r. asking for a no trade clause but it should be certain guys on that wall to where if you’re not here don’t even come in here and ask for it I’m talk but what if you have the leverage I’m talking about if you have leverage use your leverage what’s the leverage though like are we winning and you’re doing CU if we’re not winning and you’re averaging 30 and you’re like you can expect it you expect we got my Leverage is PG I played 74 games the most I played in Clippers uniform I was available for all the playoffs didn’t have the greatest playoffs but Kawai was not you you you reup with Kawai back in January you want the deal Kawai got and I’m giving it to you then I change now you’re trying to one up Kawai you’re not better your resume isn’t better for that I don’t trust that I don’t exactly what happened and they backed out of that [ __ ] said now we’re not doing that then we look bad to our god to our guy I have a now our guy looking like y’all gave him a what I Sagittarius I have a podcast I’m here in La I don’t want you I don’t want you to just randomly trade me to somewhere that I don’t want to be that’s all that is I don’t want to be traded to somewhere I don’t want to be hey man feel the same way but he and I really don’t want to give you all this money but we have to yeah like I mean it ain’t working we ain’t doing we ain’t getting better we can’t get out the first round I mean what do we pay he he can say it a because of me I’m here I mean well you going to say that because of me I’m here this year you was hey hey Paul all he say hey he going to say this well I’m in Philly I’m in Philly now with the 212 he uh next year yeah we going to give you you know know two pieces you can go ahead throw Kawai over here cuz you’re going to be trying to trade him anyway well interesting P I mean honestly though I mean honestly honestly though would you give a guy a no trade clause that’s comfortable being a number two option that’s blatantly say so I I don’t I don’t like yes it is does that mean I could show up when I want to show up and I ain’t got to take the BL I could just be like yo I’m here but I’m not it depends on the circumstances of where I’m at in my organization right that’s it’s the who has the leverage me or you that’s all that is he didn’t have the leverage get who P yeah he did he made that get it I did I got 212 you wanted you wanted to know I was willing to stay here you wanted to know trade you wanted to stay home what was the optioned that was the option 150 with a no trade clause or $62 more million to not have a no trade clause and I want to stay in La I’m willing to stay in La if I’m not tripping on bread I’ve made over 350 million in my career right and I can take this deal that’s going to keep me here where I want to be I’m going to take this deal but remember there’s they’re they’re taking pay cuts to be here so if I’m going to take a pay cut million 50 million a year for 3 years2 62 more million $62 million pay cut but you got to live in Philadelphia so he’s saying so that’s what I’m saying he’s taking a $62 million pay cut for put me in the city that I want close enough taking a pay cut who’s second Team all all NBA he’s taking the same deal how you taking the pay cut he’s taking the same deal because when he signed that he wasn’t all NBA he was he was he didn’t know what he was going to do so he was trying to lock his [ __ ] in that’s just bad business he just knows he’s the number one guy on the team bads he’s number one who Kawai Kaw is the number one guy on the team he Tak I guarantee you Kawai is mad that he signed he he wish he was up as a free agent right now for sure for sure well if they was my fault you made a badal run he had the opportunity do that I got a sign a deal my leg locked his deal leg so Brandon to your point back in March 2023 PG appeared on JJ reck’s old man in the three podcast said he was comfortable being the number two option on a championship level team so if we establish that kawhai is the number one option on this Clipper Squad I think we can agree on that right yeah my resume did PG deserve the same deal as kawhai wi acknowledging that he’s the second option no not if you’re acknowledging that you’re the second and and now the third option I was about to say hold on I was about to say y’all gave him 212 right they gave him 200 to be the third option oh they fairly better win the championship this year they better win this no you better win the championship first of all I don’t want to hear [ __ ] that’s what say you’re the number one option right you’re the number one option right and you get scared and sign a bad deal [ __ ] I’m not following you I’m not dumb right if you worth if you worth 60 million and you sign for 45 that’s you and your representation I’m not going to sign 40 because you didn’t sign 60 right if you’re 60 if you’re the number one option you’re worth 60 and I’m the number two option I’m worth 55 cool but you signed for 45 [ __ ] I’m not signing at 40 I worth 55 million that’s what I’m signing for you just made a bad deal because you was scared so yes you’re the number one option I’m the number two option but you didn’t sign number one option money that’s not my problem why would Philly take PG and give him what he want it from the back end why would they do that why not they’re willing to overpay to bring another they needed to do but they got to save Bread on Tyreese Maxi not making all NBA yeah see that’s what I said him not make so those are circumstances that just so happen to line up with Philly because if those circumstances don’t where does PG go he goes here he take the deal no he they still negotiating soes does he take the deal if they don’t give him no trade clause does PG still at some point if he don’t got that Philly situation where like we’re going to give you the 212 if you come [ __ ] with us cuz we desperate we need something I’m sure was something else on the table though for him I mean he had the warrior situation remember the warrior warri even for the Warriors you would go you would go there to the burning building so you would go there for no trade clause but you wouldn’t stay here for no trade clause I think he he would go to the war remember there’s two options I got 212 or 1 15 something with not giv him 212 go to state or give me or give me 15 say take Philly out the situation he comes back and signs that [ __ ] deal no he signs that deal he don’t need to he would cuz he want to stay and it’s the only deal on the table I don’t have to because what ends up happening is when the when the free agents leave if I leave you have nothing remember it’s all about it’s all about your leverag and free agency right sometimes you can overplay your hand you can underplay your hand or you can play that [ __ ] to the te no I like I can tell you and I can tell you I was a free agent right I went into the market as the number one dude but I’m on two knee injuries right so I’m like all right I got to try to break a 100 cuz I know they GNA lowball me [ __ ] right if they get to 100 I got to take it because I got no I don’t I have no leverage I get a call at I’m going just go on the record and and say uh midnight right I got a call you know midnight I got a call at 11:30 p.m. by because it’s not the organization uh we’ll say uh what’s the name’s Camp uh Baron Davis’s Camp unofficial right hypothetic hypothetical this is all hypothetical it said he’s he’s he’s he’s opting out leaving and signing with the Clippers right and golden state is offering me the max deal which would have been 5 year 101 and then I said well I just bought a new house they said we’ll give you $5 million house and a helicopter we already have guy swear to God so when I walked into when I walked into negotiation now now I didn’t have this before I was walking in right when I walked into the negotiation they slid that paper we did everything you boom boom boom and this is what we think you’re worth and it was a 6ye 8 6 year $89 million de this is Warriors coming in no this is go this is Wizards oh the wizard did that this one right here yeah 6 year 89 when you already had a 101 well 5y year 10 with the $5 million house andon because they said we know we can’t match the 6 years but we can throw it in other things house and helicopter whatever car so they were going to try to match the 20 something million on outside yeah on the outside so um going into that deal right going in there they slid the money I looked at it and said he this is a nice deal appreciate but I I just been offered the max deal from Golden State um Baron Davis left so they had to go check B Baron they found out Baron Davis left I said all right I’m out no more I don’t need to negotiate I’m going on vacation and then I so uh July 1st I’m I scheduled my [ __ ] for July 1st on purpose my tour in China July 1st and I comeing back July 11 so you’re not going to be able to negotiate with me until July 11 right so that means I handicapped you were not checking email Gil so I handicapped the franchise right because now I have Baron Davis gone so now I got Golden State holding on to their money which forces Wizards to hold on to their money and then that morning I got the call from the owner said the money is yours but I it was The Leverage I had other than that if Baron Davis don’t op out I don’t have a team throwing a Max at me on somebody who’s injured for two for with two new seizers who only played two games that season so Baron Davis is the reason that I got the mat so the mor of the story is Baron Davis looked out for fellow Los Angelino California no the Mortal story is it’s it’s it’s leverage if you have the leverage you got to use it at your at your expense right you that’s what I’m saying with PG is everyone was considered this a good move for the Philadelphia 76ers but PG for you not to get what you wanted he got no he got what he wanted he got what he wanted he did not he wanted to stay he said I wanted to stay and retire and be a Clipper for Life yeah that I cannot do that no more that’s negotiation power man he had he like you said for his brand like why would you want to move the the the podcast p and everything like it’s a lot of it’s more it’s more leverage here than in Philly no I mean Philly Phil Phil for Philly know what I’m saying it’s Philly is a big Mark it’s big enough it’s not it’s not Los Angeles Market but it’s big enough it ain’t it ain’t going down to some bottom hole third good you’re number three now you’re number three remember if he number two it look different for your brand it look different for the Pod but you number three I’m number three and we looking for you is pressure on you first of all first of all I’m not number three I’m I’m possibly number two first of all first of all you’re number three first of all you’re number they gave number one number one Max I’m on the r yesterday they gave him number one yesterday what does Maxi Mak him 204 I listen tyres bro you’re not going to stunt my growth I’m that [ __ ] right now I’m not I’m not I mean and then you already cool with being number two so be number three I’m not St your bro the franchise broke me in dog and that’s fine and we’ve seen what you’ve done with the cers and listen I’m happy P PG got his I just hate the fact that he told himself that he is a better number two option I don’t like that like I don’t like yall holding on to some [ __ ] that was two years ago but that’s why he didn’t get that no trade clause either lot of because it’s like well you’re comfortable with proving that you’re a number one guy Pro that you’re the number one guy I got 2 12 y’all now y’all figure out tyres oh they will the Clippers going to figure it out they can’t there’s nobody they’re just like the Lakers there’s nobody n there’s nobody out there Maxi 5e 204 PG 5 204 versus a 4E 212 you think Maxi giving up a backseat to Paul George it don’t it ain’t you got you got it is because it’s going are you are you are you a point guard and you giving it to your two best players or you going to sit there and try to do the game no more that ain’t the game no more I got the ball little out there that’s little out there got that’s little Gil out there y’all [ __ ] move around I got the ball but but all seriously it all seriousness it is a better option than Tobias Harris though for sure I’m I’m not I’m not I mean I’m not going to like so with this team in this lineup they should definitely be able to make the um Eastern Conference Finals or finals if it’s anything less than that then I think that was the intention when putting the squad together listen they got Caleb Martin as well [ __ ] that man I’m standing on this he did not want to go to Philly it doesn’t he did not want to go to Philly man it doesn’t matter whether he wanted to or not he’s sitting there comfortably in his Sixers number eight to honor Kobe so last question on this subject you say he didn’t want to go to Philly but he’s there now is PG in a better situation in Philly than he would have been with the c with the CPP hell yeah yep [ __ ] yeah no I mean he is though listen listen bro you could get your no trade clause and stay there but the Clippers going to be the same regardless if he was there new Arena 1100 bath bring ample bathrooms it it it don’t it don’t matter it was going to be the same Clipper [ __ ] every year so him getting out yes I mean listen for his for what he want right now I’m rolling on telling your career I’m rolling hell yeah embiid Maxi got a chance to win before mbid got hurt I’m rolling before MB got hurt it was what three yeah there were I think two or three there was two or three in them well the question is with PG has always been this no I’m rolling I’m just not rolling with the no trade CLA the question has always been this wherever he’s been since Indiana has been why are we so excited like we’re going to take it over the top BR mhm yeah there was a lot of excitement why is that when we know how talented he is sign and what he can do why is it that that’s the feeling when he gets picked up in free agency like oh [ __ ] we got Paul George we about to because we thinking about Paul George Indiana when he went to the EAS Conference Finals that’s the Paul George I will always remember 1819 year Paul George with Russell when he was third uh third in uh MVP votes what are you talking about yeah that’s but that that talking about no one remember REM thatg no one remembers that that was the most dominant one no REM was the most dominant one R Rush average a triple double nobody smoke you know why nobody remembers it cuz he was an OKC Russ exactly number two option number two option hence what no he was the number one option Russ made him number one option Russ was triple double triple double he was hasn’t been the number one option since Indiana since Indiana all right so Paul George and OKC was third in votes in MVP uh NBA first first team defense First Team MVP uh defensive he was Allstar averaging 28 Russell I think averaged 22 that year

  1. they being closed minded about their own value you atleast have to test the boundaries its your life in these contracts.

  2. Money is more important. 4 yrs is nothing, he can always move back to cali when he retire. Basketball is just a job. Its not like he living in philly for the rest of his life.

  3. If you can get a no trade clause, get a no trade clause. End of story. If a team agrees to give you one then what’s the problem?

  4. Gil and BJ are right. It’s if you have Leverage then ask for more because you have the leverage. Bradley Beal had a no trade clause in his contract so PG asking for that isn’t crazy.

  5. Gil & Brandon are both correct. If an organization feels like you're not a superstar talent, you're more than likely not going to receive a no-trade clause. But if you're a player with enough leverage to receive a no-trade clause, it's definitely a smart business decision.

  6. Brandon sound like a hater or liked he really was a Superstar!!! Niggas literally had one Good year in the NBA!!! Dude didn’t even get to become a vet he got kicked out the league so fast

  7. Well if this show ain't got nothing else if I didn't show got jealousy. Mr under armour sitting on the couch talking about basketball players don't want them to ask for what they want. Want to win the last time he rode up to the Mercedes dealerships hey give me a a Toyota. Under armour should be ashamed to let this dude wear their shirt.

  8. Clippers tried to low-ball him so he hit them over the head with that 212🤣🤣🤣. Plus the organisation said the want him to retire there. If they meant it there shouldn't be any issue standing on their word. Clippers thought they were about to hit a BG 2.0 with PG😂😂😂😂

  9. So PG said in his podcast the negotations started with a 2yr/60mln, how someone should feel? To me he did the right thing to leave the clippers, the nba is business and you better maximize the money you earn and your brand because its a second that they put out narrative just to rip apart you and your image anyway. He got his bag, fine, i dont get why make it such a big deal.

  10. They missing the part where pg originally asked to be signed to the same as kawhi in the middle of the season b/c the clippers were saying that they view them the same and want to keep them both and they flat out said no not to mention they tried to low ball him beforehand
    pg felt disrespected so when he had the leverage he wanted them to make a commitment to him b/c they were saying a lot to his face but not being about it plain and simple not every decision is a business decision

  11. Y'all need to stop some people just too dumb to understand what privileges are and why we have them. Unfortunately there's some guys on this panel right here is too ignorant to understand leverages and values sometimes it has nothing to do with how many points or wins will be on the board. You have to understand basketball is a business it deals in players it don't have to be great players and don't be mad because somebody's getting something you couldn't get.

  12. its not one player on here better than paul george… yall not even playin.. not to add none of yall got rings

  13. If, you can get a no trade clause, as a NBA Player, get it.

    You have to be a smart NBA Player. I
    actually believe Paul George is worth
    the No Trade Clause. He did help, as
    a player for the clippers, that helped
    filled that arena because of his truly
    presence, on the business side.

    Rather, he won a NBA Championship
    or not.

    Paul George Career Stats- 9x All Star,
    2018-19 Steal Champ/6x All NBA/4x
    All Defensive/All Rookie and Most improved Player.

    Averaging 22.6 in points, TRB 5.2, AST
    3.5 this 2023-24 Season.

    His career average, PTS 20.8, TRB 6.3,
    AST 3.7 and Paul George is a two way
    player. Paul was more available than
    Kyrie Leonard, on Clippers.
