Warriors trade pitch Nets $176 million All-Star for Paul, Kuminga, and Payton.
The Golden State Warriors may rearrange their roster enough this offseason to create an opening to trade for a nine-time All-Star who can help them return to the top of the Western Conference.
Months ago, NBA contract regulations allowed Paul George and the Los Angeles Clippers to negotiate an extension on top of his four-year, $176 million contract, but the two sides have yet to reach an agreement. George has a player option for the 2024-25 season, the final year of his current contract, and he can opt out and become a free agent on June 29.
The longer the two sides go without a deal, the more likely it is that George tests the open market and leaves L.A. for nothing in return, which makes the him a likely trade candidate under the right circumstances. Bill Simmons of The Ringer said on the June 24 edition of the “The Bill Simmons Podcast” that Golden State is the No. 1 team he’s watching in a potential move for George this summer.
