The Los Angeles Clippers want to retain Paul George in the roster for many years, according to Sam Amick of The Athletic.
Even though George struggled in his first season with the Clippers, the franchise has no plans to let him go.
“What’s more, one of the players who was known to have clashed a bit with Paul George — that being Montrezl Harrell — was not invited back to the Clippers in free agency and promptly signed with the Lakers.
If there was friction between George and some of his teammates, as has been reported in several places, it seems to have been somewhat minimized by the roster moves and the Clippers, sources say, remain fully committed to George as part of their program,” Amick reports.
George averaged 21.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists for the Clippers last season, but failed to lead the team to the NBA Finals.
