That is disrespectful if true, best for both sides to move on though.
PG also confirmed he asked for a no trade clause
said he negotiated the 2yr/60m up to 3yr/150, and said all along he wouldve taken the Kawhi deal (3/153). but asked for the no trade on the 3 yr by the end.
thought it was noteworthy Ohm Youngmisuk randomly put in the no trade as a possibility in his article last month, and turns out Ohm included it because PG was asking for it
Clippers initial offer was for sure a lowball and I could understand PG being miffed. However, they eventually offered him his ask of 3/150 to match Kawhi but he retraded them asking for a no trade clause or a 4th year. Understandable from his perspective after seeing what we did to Blake. But, he also told them he’d take that deal and they did offer it to him.
I see both sides to it.
2 years, 60 million is an insulting offer tbh
2 years, $60 million is another way of saying, “enjoy free agency, Paul.”
Hopefully negotiations will be a lot smoother with Big Zu.
I don’t blame pg for chasing the bag
They gave Harden of all players 2 year 70 mill, i dont blame PG leaving either lol hes got a better shot out east anyway with more dependable players.
Pretty much if the team had came to the table and met him with what Kawhi signed early on he would still be here.
Being offered 2/60 in October is honestly pretty disrespectful. That’s a “Hey let’s offer Paul something light and let’s hope he jumps on it because he was injured in the playoffs vs Phoenix”.
We’ll probably be rebuilding in a year or 2 anyway 🤷🏻♂️
No trade clause? So basically when I stink it up again y’all stuck with me on max money All yours Philly.
