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

More on this storyline
: “J
Windhorst suggests there’s a scenario where the Clippers could embark on an extensive reset if George leaves in free agency by also choosing not to re-sign James Harden. “And also when it comes to the Clippers, James Harden is sitting there,” said Windhorst. “James Harden is a free agent at the end of the month. What about Harden? If Paul George walks, you could let Harden walk and start half your team over. You’d be a cap space team. They have multiple options. The Clippers could still sign Paul George on July 1st. They could sign Paul George this afternoon, but the fact that they are not seemingly reacting to what his market clearly is, is something to pay attention to. It’s a bit of a fascinating development.” -via RealGM / June 20, 2024
