Paul George Leaves Clippers for 76ers

Paul George's departure from the L.A. Clippers to the Philadelphia 76ers has been a topic of discussion, particularly due to the dissatisfaction expressed by his father, Paul George Sr. During a recent episode of his son's podcast, George Sr. revealed feelings of betrayal, stating that the Clippers' contract offers were disrespectful and did not reflect Paul’s contributions to the team. He emphasized that they felt 'stabbed in the back' by the franchise's approach, especially after Paul asked for a max contract or a three-year, $150 million deal with a no-trade clause. Ultimately, Paul George signed a four-year, $212 million contract with the Sixers, which positioned them as strong contenders in the league. Additionally, George Sr. mentioned exploring the possibility of his son joining the Lakers, but financial constraints and a lack of cooperation from the Clippers made that impossible. The emotional toll of the move was evident, but George Sr. affirmed his support for his son's decision to seek better opportunities elsewhere.
