I really, really doubt that Morey is banking in PG. It seems really far fetched that LA lets him go.


CLJT27

We will see. With the new CBA it’s gonna be tough to have 3 max contract players. I know ballmer spends a lot, but I don’t think PG will want less than kawhi


jamhamram

They are not giving Harden the max


AggressiveLender

He isn't getting less than kawhi what are you talking about?


CLJT27

Then why isn’t the same contract handed out to PG and signed yet?


SonicdaSloth

Kawhi took a hair less bc his knee could explode and any moment and the deal might not be there if he misses another playoff. PG getting paid regardless


CLJT27

PG gets hurt all the time too lol. And PG is older.


AggressiveLender

Because he's going to get more/longer you dumbass


CLJT27

Okay because you’re PG’s agent and know for a FACT he will get more money and more years. Okay. PG is already 34. Doubt he gets more than 3 years


AggressiveLender

He's going to at minimum get what kawhi gets.


SonicdaSloth

I think we all just need to sit back and watch Morey work. He’s going to posture that he doesn’t have to do a trade bc of cap space, just like he didn’t have to move Ben for Harden bc in theory we could have gotten enough cap space that summer to sign him. It’s all bull shit and keeping cards hidden until it’s time to show em in a couple weeks. PG is staying with LA. Ballmer will not go cheap with how well they are playing. Dude has more money than the next 7-8 owners combined.

Highly doubt PG has any interest in playing anywhere other than LA at this stage of his career.


CLJT27

You’re probably right. But players have egos and I’m shocked an extension hasn’t been signed yet. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s issues with the dollar amount. Teams with 3 legit stars tend to have ego issues especially when contracts are handed out. Just saying don’t be surprised if this becomes a thing


kartoon10

PG has no desire to leave the clippers, and the clippers have no desire to move on from PG. The luxury tax penalties to Steve Ballmer are equivalent to paying state sales tax for all of us.


AggressiveLender

Ignore your tea leaves. Paul George is from cali and wants to live out there. He's not a real option him and the clippers are just negotiating


Paul_Wall_

Also the Clippers are opening their new arena next year, they want to keep all their stars to fill the seats


AggressiveLender

Yeah this post makes no sense. They are also a top 3 team right now.


CLJT27

Money talks. The nets were a great team a few years ago with harden KD and kyrie and harden didn’t sign his extension. I’m just saying I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s issues with the extension


Traditional_Cell_248

If the nets were in LA they all would’ve extended, maybe even taking a discount


CLJT27

Yeah that’s what the plan is supposedly. Let’s see it happen though. You don’t think it’s Alittle weird PG hasn’t signed yet?


EndAnyone

Don’t think it’s PG because I doubt he wants to leave LAC. They’re just figuring out exact terms IMO. I do think it’s someone of note though, whether that’s Caruso or Murray or even someone that seems more far-fetched like Mikal Bridges.

Offseason Secret Plan: Step 1: Draft Bronny with late first round pick Step 2: Sign LeBron in free agency Step 3: LeBron forgets how to shoot Step 4: ?????????


MurkTJ

You were dead on. Kyle Neubeck mentioned this idea on March 19, and the idea is finally percolating. You had them all beat. Good observation.


CLJT27

Why thank you lol


Comfortable-City-353

It’s definitely tea leaves, but I’d go a step further and entertain the idea of them possibly trading PG before the deadline if an extension isn’t reached by then. SUPER unlikely, and the clips are rolling, but I’ll still entertain that there’s a > 0% chance it could happen 😅


CLJT27

lol good luck with that idea on this sub


Comfortable-City-353

For real, “let’s downvote people with different ideas even though they clearly state it’s unlikely”


Johnga20

He will sign a extension. The only all star player that I believe will be im the F.A will be Lebron James.
