Many sources around the league think Clippers governor Steve Ballmer will eventually decide to pay up. The nuance may be in the number of years. A sign-and-trade wouldn’t be legal for the Clippers. Even without George, the Clippers’ payroll is high enough that the team has no real means to replace him if he leaves for the Sixers.

Brandon Miller shocked many when he called Paul George his GOAT. He’s not alone. There’s a growing number of players from top recruits to NBA champs who emulate PG. Gamers also try to clone PG. “Paul George is the right person to study for this generation” espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 3:03 PM

Paul George on Haliburton: “Great kid and I think Indiana found a star for a very long time.
“One of the best at managing games, taking over games, playmaking and for how young he is, so poised and polished. You don’t find that often.”

Paul George dunk cuts Pacers lead to 122-103 with 5:14 left to play
Clippers have a flight to the East Coast tomorrow, but once again, like the Hawks game, they’re going to keep going until the dagger hits
Rick Carlisle pushed enough to call a timeout and bring back Haliburton – 12:38 AM

Paul George doing what he’s supposed to do, and that’s get buckets with this second unit. He’s made multiple Pacers defenders touch earf in this first half and now has 11 points on 5/6 FGs, and just knocked down his first 3-point attempt of the game
49-44 LAC lead, 7:29 2nd qtr – 11:19 PM

George first began to notice more of what he called “that next wave of guys” approaching him during his 2015-16 season in Indiana. “Coming into that year is where I slowly started to hear, ‘Yo, you’re my favorite player. I look up to you,'” George told ESPN. “My come up is where the young generation started to kind of gravitate towards me.” -via ESPN / March 26, 2024
