Paul George explained why he left the Indiana Pacers in a Knuckleheads podcast with Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles. Clippers forward suggests the best power forward in the NBA in 2017 wanted to join the Pacers to play with George.<\/p>\n
\u201cI ain\u2019t gon\u2019 say the names, because I\u2019m going to keep their business private, I\u2019ma just say it like this,” he said. “I had at the time, the best power forward saying he wanted to come to Indy and team up with me. They\u2019re like, \u2018we\u2019re a mid-major, we\u2019re a small market, like, we can\u2019t do it, we\u2019re a small market, we can\u2019t afford that.\u2019 I\u2019m like the best power forward wants to come play here, like, y\u2019all can\u2019t make that work? They didn\u2019t want to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
George was disappointed that the Pacers didn’t want to make the move that he thought would improve their team. \u201cSo I\u2019m like, now I\u2019m pissed, because it\u2019s like, what am I doing here? You know what I mean? They don\u2019t want to win. I\u2019ve got the best power forward that wants to come play here. Not everybody chooses Indy to come play here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
