The Clippers required Jonathan Kuminga in a sign-and-trade framework for Paul George, which the Warriors declined, per @ramonashelburne (espn.com/nba/story/_/id…).
Golden State continues to hold Kuminga in extremely high regard as a long-term building block. pic.twitter.com/bAniZWjO1I – 12:56 PM

Elton Brand and Julius Erving came to get Paul George
– Brand left the Clippers in 2008 for Philadelphia after Baron Davis left the Warriors for LA thinking Brand would stay
– The Clippers thought they had a deal for Dr. J in 1984, but Dr. J and the 76ers shut it down pic.twitter.com/wJlSr5h2z6 – 12:51 PM

Paul George had flown in from Mexico earlier in the day. He’d called Kawhi Leonard to let him know he was likely leaving LA. Then the plane carrying Dr J was delayed by weather. Do you want to wait? He was asked. George’s Answer defines this NBA offseason. espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 12:16 PM

Paul George was rubbed the wrong way by the Clippers believing he would stay simply because his parents could still go to games, per @LawMurrayTheNU (nytimes.com/athletic/56107…).

What are the Clippers DOING
… In a way, Paul George’s departure depresses expectations for LAC in the short term.
But the Clippers are ironically building out a two-star team again with pieces that resemble their recent past. nytimes.com/athletic/56107… – 11:07 AM

P much every contract the Magic have is fair and they have all their own picks. Seems like they’ll be ready to make a competitive trade offer if/when a star shakes loose. KCP and an Isaac extension isn’t as exciting as Paul George or Malik Monk but it’s not irresponsible either. – 8:53 PM

The same way the Paul George signing opened up the free agency floodgates, the NBA is waiting for the first big trade to go down, triggering a domino effect.
Seems like all eyes are on the Markkanen sweepstakes. The Kings are involved in those negotiations, & other deals that – 8:23 PM

NBC’s @Zaklthemonster had some fun with the winners and losers so far in free agency.
At the top of my list: OKC won, Paul George won, Tatum obviously, and if we’re just talking the offseason the Knicks won.

The 76ers made a big swing for Paul George. @coachthorpe tells @jshector why coaching will be very important in Philadelphia on today’s show.
All that plus more free agency talk and NBA silly season.

Carl Steward @stewardsfolly
I’m not sure how the Warriors can pry Lauri Markkanen away from Utah — hard to see how a deal there wouldn’t cost them Kuminga at the least — but that’s probably the last best option for next season, and it won’t net a title. But highly unlikely PG13 would have, either. – 6:24 PM

After all the back and forth about James Harden getting a full max in Philly, Daryl Morey decided to grant that wish…to Paul George.
On the mafioso move that may have saved the Sixers’ Joel Embiid era – or at least prolonged it – at @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/56083… – 6:03 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
This was Daryl Morey’s chance to lure a star to Philly. To capitalize on a year of plotting. To make a free-agency splash.
And he landed the best player available — aka the “stud” he believes contenders must collect.

The 213 Era began five years ago this month.
With the departure of Paul George, it’s over now after the PG-13 shared the floor with Kawhi Leonard for only 13 playoff wins, none after 2021.

Clippers’ failed blockbuster for Paul George five years ago didn’t work. Considering the price, it was a disaster. It happens. On all-in gambles and team building, and a bit on the way the Rockets hope theirs will work. houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-n… via @houstonchron – 3:49 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
I’m imagining a world in which Danny Ainge keeps playing the star trade shuffle forever.
Trades Lauri for Kuminga and a ton of picks.
Kuminga breaks out as the No. 1 option. Two years later, trades Kuminga for Young Player X and a ton of picks.
The cycle is self-sustaining. – 3:37 PM

It is an alternate universe when Paul George has been one my favorite players for 10+ years and James Harden has been one of my least favorite for nearly that same amount of time and they’ve suddenly done the old switcharoo – 3:15 PM

The Warriors are attempting to trade for Lauri Markkanen, per @wojespn.
Golden State is pivoting from Paul George to pushing their all-in chips in for Markkanen.

Batum expressed an interest in possibly retiring after the Olympics in Paris, where he is with Team France.
That was before he was traded to Philadelphia and showed that he still has value. Joel Embiid wanted him to return to Paul George’s 76ers.
Instead, Batum Battalion back – 2:48 PM

Paul George will make $628 million in career contract earnings once his deal with the Sixers expires in 2028.

One of Paul George’s skills that should stand out as a breath of fresh air for Philadelphia the quickest is that his three-point shooting doesn’t depend on context.

Steph (357) + Klay (268) combined to make 625 threes last season
Wiggins (91) + Podziemski (90) + Moody (72) + Kuminga (53) combined to make 306 threes last season
The Warriors revolutionized the 3-pointer, and now they’re badly in need of more shooting and scoring – 1:21 PM
Sunday evening, Paul George invited the Sixers’ brass over to his house in West Los Angeles to make their pitch. The meeting was set for 8:30 p.m. local time, sources said. George was flying back from a vacation in Mexico. Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey was at the ready. So were general manager Elton Brand and executive vice president of basketball operations Peter Dinwiddie, whom George and his family knew well from their time together in Indiana earlier in George’s career. But the plane carrying Harris and Dr. J was delayed by weather, and a decision had to be made. George’s longtime agent, Aaron Mintz, called him to ask if he wanted to wait. “Of course,” George told him. -via ESPN / July 2, 2024
