Clippers owner Steve Ballmer says he hated losing Paul George, but added that the contract they offered him 'wasn’t what Paul wanted.'
His big dreams have been realized with the completion of the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, and even though two Southern California stars in Paul George and Russell Westbrook aren’t around to make the fan experience in his palace more enjoyable because both departed, Clippers owner Steve Ballmer still is dreaming big about his team’s prospects. The loss of George, a nine-time All-Star, will be the most difficult to deal with.
But it was a great offer in terms of us thinking about how to win championships. It wasn’t what Paul wanted. And so he wanted to go and I respect him for that. I mean, basketball players don’t have that many years in their lives to really make money, etc. I wish he was here and I wish him well and we got a lot of great players we added that we wouldn’t have been able to add otherwise. So, I’m happy about that too.” The Clippers signed Derrick Jones Jr., Kevin Porter Jr.
