Clippers Offered Multiple Extensions To Paul George

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Los Angeles Clippers want to keep their core players together, but at a discounted price. So far, they have succeeded with Kawhi Leonard; however, James Harden and Paul George have not succeeded so much.

Los Angeles has tried to extend him multiple times, even when clearly going lower than the maximum he could receive, but George wasn’t feeling those offers.

“This Clippers team fully intends to keep this group together, they want to bring back Paul George as a free agent or give him an extension, but they have not been able to reach an agreement with Paul George,” said Shams Charania.

“They’ve made multiple contract offers below the max. They have not been able to reach a deal. They’re going to keep trying.”

There is a large expectation that if he leaves for free agency, then he will receive a max contract from teams like the Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers.
