The biggest news for the Clippers on Thursday wasn’t the drafting of Minnesota guard Cam Christie in the second round at No. 46, but about the uncertainty of Paul George and his future with the team. George has a player option for $48.7 million and has to let the Clippers know by Saturday whether he’ll opt in on his deal. George can become a free agent if he and the Clippers are unable to come to an agreement on an extension before Sunday.
It’s not even about the money as it is: How are you going to build a sustainable roster, maintain your tools to have transactional flexibility? And with that comes really, really hard decisions and we totally respect the fact that look deals get made when they make sense for both sides. We’re hopeful that we can find a deal with any player we negotiate with that we want both sides to feel good about and respect the fact that for each of our players they’re going to have choices.
