A Paul George trade to the Golden State Warriors is complicated
There have been several reports over the last few days about the possibility of LA Clippers star Paul George opting into his contract and pursuing a trade to the Golden State Warriors. While there are several logistics that must be sorted out in order for such a deal to even be possible, it seems one of the biggest orders of business as it pertains to this potential deal may already be taken care of.
For George, any opt-in and trade scenario would almost certainly have to land him somewhere he could extend for a larger contract than what the Clippers are offering. In a report on Wednesday from ESPN's Brian Windhorst, it was revealed that Golden State may very well be prepared to offer George such a deal.This is significant, because with George having limited options in free agency, his best path forward may be an opt-in and trade situation.
As Poole also added, the Clippers would have to be okay trading George to a division rival, which is uncommon - especially as both teams maintain championship aspirations.Joey Linn is a credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation.
