Could Paul George be on the move?
Clippers players were reportedly frustrated at some of George’s postgame comments moments after the team squandered away a 3-1 series lead at the hands of the Denver Nuggets.
“In the postgame locker room Tuesday night, George was preaching to teammates to remain committed, for all the players to return to the team this offseason and stay ready to make another run. It was met by some eye rolls and bewilderment, sources said, because George did not back up his words with action in the series and the team has multiple free agents with decisions to make. George scored 10 points on 4 of 16 shooting and 2 of 11 from 3-point range in the Game 7 defeat.”
The Ringer’s Ryen Russillo even revealed that the players on the team don’t actually have much respect for George.

Jason McIntyre: “At the exit interviews, and this is just what I’ve heard, Paul George did not get rave reviews from his teammates. My source would not be shocked if Paul George was shipped out of town, and the potential landing spot is the Brooklyn Nets where he would then team with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant.
In exchange the Clippers would get something along the lines of Caris Levert, Spencer Dinwiddie, and some sort of second round Draft pick to balance out the rest of the deal. I’m sure the Clippers would love to get Jarrett Allen who had to take a backseat to DeAndre Jordan because DeAndre is friends with Kyrie and Kevin Durant.”
A “Big Three” of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and George for the Nets could easily get this team to multiple NBA Finals appearances if everybody can stay healthy.
