“I had it in my mind this whole time — Kawhi brought me here, Kawhi was the guy who wanted me to play here, I’m stuck, I’m glued to him,” George told FOX Sports on Wednesday after his Philadelphia 76ers lost to the Clippers, 110-98, in his first game against his former team. “That was my mindset. That was my mentality. I wanted to ride this thing out.”

Exclusive with Paul George for @FOXSports. George initially wanted to remain with the Clippers. Why? Because of Kawhi Leonard, who recruited him in 2019.
“I’m loyal to him,” he told me.

ICYMI: Paul George was booed by Clippers fans in his return, says ‘It’s stupid’
“It wasn’t something that I demanded to trade, or went against the team here. I was a free agent.”

Why the Clippers don’t regret letting Paul George walk – or saying no the Warriors.
A deeper look at their Golden State talks that have remained a topic of much debate, and the long-term view that was playing a pivotal part, at @TheAthletic

Asked if he saw some of the signs in The Wall referencing things he said on his podcast, Paul George cracked that at least they’re subscribers to his pod. Asked what he thought of Intuit, he called it the best arena in the league but was surprised this game wasn’t packed. – 1:14 AM

Paul George thought he received a split reaction — some cheers, and boos. Asked what he thought about being booed after five seasons here, PG replied it was “stupid” to hear boos because he was a free agent that was presented a “team-friendly” offer to stay but took better offer – 1:12 AM

Nick Nurse won a championship in 2019
Since then, he has coached against the Clippers and keeps facing former players:
– Kawhi
– Serge Ibaka
– Norm
– Harden (sort of)
Now he’s on the other side, coaching Paul George. Asked him about that this evening pic.x.com/XGD1vA5W4l – 9:49 PM

More on this storyline
“If Kawhi is out right now, cool, take your time,” George told FOX Sports. “Still, my point of view was, I’m here for the long run. I’m here for the long run with you. That was how I was looking at the whole negotiation. That was the guy who wanted me here. I’m going to ride it out. I’m loyal to him.” -via FoxSports.com / November 7, 2024
But just as the Clippers aren’t regretting the choices that led to George’s departure to Philadelphia, team sources are adamant in their defense of the Golden State decision as well. And the reasoning has everything to do with the financial flexibility that they valued more than what the Warriors had to offer. Strange as it might sound, they would argue that there are times when nothing is better than something. -via New York Times / November 7, 2024
Had the Clippers agreed to do the deal, with the most likely scenario being Golden State sending Andrew Wiggins, Chris Paul, Moses Moody and a first-round pick their way in exchange for George, then team sources say the second-apron luxury tax penalties that would have come with it would have put the total cost at approximately $110 million. The Clippers had serious interest in Warriors fourth-year forward Jonathan Kuminga and would have likely done the deal if he was included along with the first-round pick, but team sources say he was never truly available. -via New York Times / November 7, 2024
