Nine-time All-Star Paul George is opting out of the $48.8 million option to play for the Los Angeles Clippers and will become a free agent for next season, ESPN reported Saturday.George, 34, could be offered a four-year $221 million maximum contract from the Clippers, but the team reportedly is not looking to exceed more than the three-year, $152.4 million extension it gave to Kawhi Leonard during the past season.
ESPN reported that George plans to meet with teams with enough salary cap space to sign him as well as with the Clippers beginning Sunday night. If George had agreed to his player option, Los Angeles might have pursued a sign-and-trade strategy for the wing player.George averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 74 games -- the most games he has played in a regular season since 2018-19, his last campaign with Oklahoma City.
