Patrick Beverley’s Post on Paul George to Golden State Warriors Trade Rumors

It was reported on Monday by NBA insider Marc Stein via his Substack that Paul George opting out of his contract and pursuing a trade with the LA Clippers was a growing possibility.

“There is a growing feeling across the league that the 34-year-old picking up his $48.8 million player option for next season to force the Clippers to trade him is an increasingly realistic scenario after months of unsuccessful contract extension negotiations between the parties,” Stein wrote. “The Clippers don’t appear willing to offer George a deal richer than the one Kawhi Leonard received in January ($150 million over three seasons) and that has encouraged teams to make trades for the All-NBA swingman. “

As for interested teams, Stein added: “I’m pretty sure the Warriors are as interested in George as the Knicks are – maybe more so. Can Golden State put together the likely multi-team trade that would be necessary to win the PG-13? Stay tuned.

In response to this news, George’s former teammate Patrick Beverley sent a message on X (formerly known as Twitter):

Beverley played with George from 2019-2021 with the Clippers and still maintains a close relationship with the nine-time All-Star. There appears to be a growing belief around the league that George could indeed leave the Clippers, and join-and-trade scenarios appear to be on the table.
