The LA Clippers and Paul George are in a contract dispute, thus the forward with great shooting ability is up for grabs. He joined the team in 2019, however he is currently in the middle of a contract negotiation. Adrian Wojnarowski discussed the most recent developments in the issue during a recent appearance on SportsCenter. The ESPN expert also discussed what is stalling the nine-time All-Star’s deal with the Clippers and which teams might have a slot free for him.
George has been negotiating a contract with the Clippers for a year, but he still lacks a solid plan of action. Woj continued, saying that over the past few months, the two parties have exchanged multiple times.
Where will Paul George end up ?
The analyst asserted that George’s demand for a max contract is what’s delaying the contract renewal with the Clippers. Regarding the remaining teams in this calculation, he stated,
“Philadelphia, out in the marketplace, Orlando, to an extent, out in the marketplace for him, can offer him that fourth year.”
The 55-year-old continued by saying that George is considering his chances of winning an NBA championship should he transfer to the Eastern Conference. They have a strong team in Boston that could potentially stop the 76ers, so that route won’t be simple either.
.@wojespn with the latest on Paul George:
– The Clippers continue to hold firm on only offering three years while George seeks a full four-year max contract.
– The Sixers and Magic are prepared to offer George a full max deal.
– If Los Angeles doesn’t offer George four years,… pic.twitter.com/jAtUZScKhS

According to Wojnarowski, PG-13 is determined to sign the longest contract possible with the Clippers. The LA team is only ready to offer him a contract for three years, even though he wants to be with them for a whole four years.
And as a result, he will have to put up with a $68 million legal battle. It’s interesting to see that Paul George has signed with one more Western Conference squad that has gradually risen through the ranks.
