Multiple NBA sources anticipate that Paul George will re-sign with the Los Angeles Clippers, despite having the option to become a free agent this offseason. According to a report by Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report, while the Philadelphia 76ers are expected to have significant cap space in July, earmarked potentially for George, the consensus among sources is that he will stay with the Clippers. This comes in a context where the free-agent market is perceived as weak, positioning Andrew Wiggins as possibly the best available wing for Philadelphia.
George, alongside teammates Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook, forms a formidable core for the Clippers, who are currently engaged in a playoff series against the Dallas Mavericks, with the series tied 1-1. Now in his fifth season with the Clippers, George averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game in the regular season, shooting 47.1% from the field and 41.3% from three-point range.
The Clippers have never reached the NBA Finals in their franchise history, but with their current lineup, they have a solid chance this season. Their immediate challenge is to handle the Mavericks in Dallas in the upcoming games. George, a nine-time NBA All-Star and six-time All-NBA selection, continues to chase his first NBA championship ring, with indications pointing towards his continued commitment to the Clippers as he pursues this goal.
