On July 8, it was reported that a few days ago, Paul George, who had just switched from the Clippers to the 76ers, talked about how close he was to the Warriors in the latest podcast episode, but the Clippers finally did not accept the chips proposed by the Warriors, so that he was happy!

Previously, according to Warriors reporter Tim Kawakami, the Warriors had serious talks with the Clippers before the deadline for George's player option, and the Warriors believed that they had successfully traded George.

Kawakami said that the Warriors agreed to offer George a four-year, $212 million max contract, and that the Warriors believe they have offered the Clippers a variety of trade packages that they are willing to accept, including a random combination of Wiggins, Paul, Kuminga or Moody, plus an offer for a future first-round pick, all of which were rejected by the Clippers.

George said of the Clippers' negotiations with the Warriors: "Judging from the situation at the time, I was really going to the Warriors. From what I've been told by my broker, the deal is close to closing. The Warriors expressed how much they wanted me to go to San Francisco and what a perfect combination I would have with Curry and Dream. If I go, Klay Thompson will probably stay, along with Podzemski, Kuminga, Wiggins. ”

"But I don't know who the Warriors are trading for me because center Looney is still with the Warriors, which is interesting. Unfortunately, the deal didn't go through, and the Clippers were not happy with the chips the Warriors had put forward, so the deal didn't actually happen. ”

George also spoke about his frustration at losing the trade, "For me, going to the Warriors means I'm still close to home and being able to stay on the West Coast is a real win-win. Curry is a unicorn, and so is Embiid. It's nice to be teammates with a unicorn. If I do go to the Warriors, I'd be looking forward to partnering Curry. ”

In this regard, netizens said, "Although you have come to Philadelphia now, can you leave the giveaway Wei Shao to the warriors, and enjoy it for eating"

"It's so dangerous, I'm almost going to be beaten by the iron bull"

"It doesn't matter what, whether it's an execution contract or a new signing, money comes first, and the rest doesn't matter."

"George is different from Markkanen, his ability is very good, he is not sorry not to come, Marca can't play well and the Warriors can keep it by himself, young"

"Although George is very strong, there is one thing to say, it is not necessarily suitable to come to the Warriors, he is older, and Kuchai is in his thirties"

"I finally didn't hear that this offseason, and no one wants to run into a healthy Clippers next season."

"According to George, the Warriors out of Paul + first-rounder?"

"Is it possible that the Warriors also think your price is too high and don't want to sign and trade. So whatever the price is quoted"

"George, a big-mouthed brainless player, is still a big fool, he used to fool the Pacers Thunder Clippers, who wants who is unlucky, and now he is saying this, the three sides are not pleased, how embarrassing is it for the Clippers, how embarrassing it is for the Warriors to be speechless, and how embarrassing it is for the 76ers."
