I think Paul George, I think he’s the obvious title here.

There’s a myriad of possibilities and we don’t know at this point whether he’s going to opt out, uh, stay with the Clippers, uh, get traded to the Warriors or the, or sign with the Sixers or, uh, sign with the Clippers or there’s, there’s a mystery team he’s going to, he’s going to opt in and get traded to.

So I think there’s just a lot of mystery and wonder.

And I think Paul George too is a little bit, is it fair to say he’s a little bit underrated as a, like a really, really, really good basketball player if he were to go to the Sixers?

I just think he’s a perfect co-star.

He feels like he checks so many boxes and there’s so few weaknesses and I think that’s really, really, really important and there’s been no fault of his own because of Kawhi Leonard’s bad knee strike the last couple of years or the last few playoff appearances.

Um, and so, you know, the bubble was the bubble a million years ago and I, it doesn’t concern me at all.

But I think I see more of his age and his contract and all that and I’m like, yo, this guy is so great.

He’s like an awesome player.

I’m not saying I would give him four years maximum if I were the CEO.

But, as a player for next season, I think he can still have a championship run.

I think it’s still as good as ever.

The fact that, I mean, we’ve talked about it multiple times, Jake and I, and on other shows, as you have to assume at this point, the fact that he didn’t resign with the Clippers indicates that the Clippers are not yet comfortable enough to move on to year four.

RIGHT?

The idea being we gave Kawhi three and 150, that’s where we want to keep you as well.

And I don’t like him, I’m not comfortable in this neighborhood.

I wouldn’t like that.

So I believe, I strongly believe that the Clippers or the Sixers would prefer to go to year four.

It simply is.

He wants to go to Philadelphia.

I think you’re absolutely right that he fits perfectly between Joe Ellen Bead and Terry Maxi.

If you’re Paul George, would you like to sign up for another knee-stomping situation?

Um, you know, moving across the country to do this?

I think that’s a big question?
