This is a clear example, Paul George claimed to renew his contract with the Clippers, he thought he could negotiate a contract with the Clippers, but when he showed his attitude, Leonard's new contract has been signed, but George's contract has been more than a month now. The reason why George refused the Clippers' request was because he didn't want to give the Clippers more salary, so George negotiated terms with the Clippers. In this comparison, Leonard appears to be very secure, very capable, very decisive, and will not hesitate.
