Chapters

Paul George detailed the nine-month back and forth with the Clippers about his contract, expressing his dissatisfaction with their initial offer and their refusal to grant him a no-trade clause. The Clippers' reluctance to match Kawhi Leonard's contract offer ultimately led to George's departure to the 76ers.
  • Clippers initially offered a two-year, $60 million contract, which Paul George found disrespectful.
  • George requested a no-trade clause, which the Clippers rejected.
  • The Clippers eventually offered a three-year, $150 million deal, but George had already decided to leave for Philadelphia.
  • The Clippers cited the CBA and the second apron as reasons for their reluctance to offer a longer contract.
