Another trusted source has advised me to keep the Knicks on the list as a potential trade suitor for Paul George if the All-NBA swingman indeed opts into the final season of his current contract at $48.8 million. That step would position George to push for a trade to another team.

If Paul George decides to opt into the final year of his deal to facilitate a trade away from LAC, the blueprints will have been 1) CP3 opting in with LAC to get to Houston and 2) James Harden opting in with Philly to get to LAC.
Quite the history for the Clippers. – 11:19 AM

I don’t think the Clippers would trade Paul George to the Lakers. But let’s ignore that for a second.
If you were the Lakers and you could trade the three firsts plus matching salary (let’s say Rui, DLo, Vincent and JHS) for Paul George, would you do it? – 2:13 PM

Let’s dig into this idea of Paul George opting in with Clippers eyeing trade.
Does that mean he just doesn’t want to be a Sixer? Does this mean the Knicks or Heat are in play?

If the 76ers are out on Paul George, that doesn’t feel like great news regarding the Nuggets keeping Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Philly has always been viewed as the top threat to poach KCP — they’re the one “contender” with big cap room. – 7:10 PM

More on this storyline
More sources than not we’ve consulted believe George’s preference, as a proud Southern California native, continues to be re-signing with the Clippers, but the incumbent team’s apparent reluctance to extend George a longer or richer deal than Kawhi Leonard’s recent three-year contract extension in the $150 million range has put George’s future in legitimate flux. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 23, 2024
I am struggling to pinpoint third-party teams that put much stock in the recent leakage suggesting that the 76ers have cooled on the idea of pursuing George. Only the Sixers know their true intentions, but let’s just say there will be a healthy bit of skepticism leaguewide about the Sixers bowing out completely until PG-13 has either come to terms with the Clippers or landed somewhere other than Philly. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 23, 2024
