The Clippers will provide George with a four-year salary of 223 million yuan, and complete a contract extension as soon as this season
On February 6, according to U.S. media reports, the Clippers are seeking to complete a contract extension with Paul George, who can get up to a four-year contract of $233 million. Previously, in order to keep George and Harden on the team, Xiaoka chose to reduce his salary and renew his contract with the team.
Previously, the Clippers reached a contract extension with the team's star Kawaii Leonard, signing a three-year, $152.4 million contract, but the Clippers chose to take a salary cut to renew the contract, hoping that the team can successfully keep George and Harden.
Currently, George's contract is the same as that of Jr., which expires in the 2024-25 season, and he has a $45.64 million contract this season and a $48.78 million player option next season. Currently, the maximum contract George can get for an early extension is about $233 million for four years.
A few days ago, ESPN's Zach Lowe spoke about George's contract extension on a podcast: "I don't know how the negotiations are progressing at the moment. But I understand that I'm willing to make a big bet on George's contract extension with the Clippers. It could be during the ongoing season or after the end of the season. ”
Today, Clippers President Frank spoke to reporters on a number of topics, talking about Harden, George, and Kawh Jr. getting high salaries and building a competitive roster around them: "I want everyone to get a fair salary, and I want to keep the salary flexible. ”
Speaking about George's contract extension, he said, "We want to keep George and keep him as a part of the Clippers, and we're hopeful about that. ”
Asked if the team would be willing to offer a three-year, $152.4 million contract considering Jr.A.'s injury history, Frank said: "Anyone can get hurt, but not everybody can be a top-five player in the league. ”
In this regard, netizens have said, "120 million in 3 years is almost, George is not worth so much, or a good power forward"

"That's it: 1.524 for 3 years, 1.425 for 3 years for George, 1.245 for 3 years for Harden"
"Go on, Dengweika pepper will stay, and you don't need the fans to pay"
"George sacrificed the most, focused on defense, and he was worth a big contract"
"George would never have asked for such a big contract if he had a little self-knowledge"
