The Clippers have gathered the Big Four this season, and the team is currently the biggest favorite in the NBA, and the Clippers also topped the first place in the West some time ago, but with the loss to the Timberwolves, the team temporarily slipped to the third place in the West, but no one can ignore the Clippers with the Big Four, and the biggest difficulty facing the team is the contract extension with Paul George.
According to the U.S., Paul George wants the Clippers to offer him a four-year offer for a total of $2$200 million contract, because Paul George believes that his career has entered the countdown, this may be the last chance for him to chase a maximum salary contract in his entire career, so at this time Paul George's approach is understandable, but I believe that the Clippers are not willing to give him such a large contract, because after the offseason starts, the team still wants to keep Harden as much as possible.
If Paul George is given such a big contract, then it means that Harden must accept a large salary cut and contract extension, you must know that Harden lowered his salary when playing for the 76ers, but in the end he suffered a betrayal, and since then Harden has said that he will not sacrifice most of his salary to become a global team, and he will be selfish in the future.
Obviously, if the Clippers really gave Paul George such a big max contract, then Harden may be forced to leave the Clippers in the offseason, and to be honest, according to the current personal ability of Paul George, give him a three-year total value of 1The $200 million contract is already very good, with an average annual salary of up to $40 million, which can be regarded as matching Paul George's current strength, if he insists on asking for a higher salary, then for the Clippers, they may have to let him leave and go all out to keep Harden.
