[Saba Sports News] Paul George’s father, Paul George Sr., expressed strong criticism of the Los Angeles Clippers regarding their handling of his son’s free agency. Appearing on his son’s “Podcast P” show, George Sr. said he felt the Clippers “stabbed us in the back” with their contract offers, believing that his son had given his all to the team. He even considered steering Paul George to the Los Angeles Lakers out of spite, but financial constraints made that impossible.
George Sr. emphasized that his son wasn’t willing to accept what he saw as a disrespectful offer, reportedly $60 million over two years, which George found insulting. Ultimately, Paul George signed a max deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. Rumors indicated that another local team had shown interest in a sign-and-trade before it became unfeasible.
