I Want to be Disrespected Like Paul George

I want to be disrespected like Paul George. After George bailed on the Clippers and signed a 4 year 212 million dollar deal with the 76ers he said he wanted to stay in Los Angeles and continue to play for the Clippers. But they disrespected him with their initial offer. What was that offer, you ask? 60 million dollars over 2 years. It sounds crazy to say 60 million dollars is disrespectful. But he is right. That was a low ball offer. So low that it tells me they did not want to re-sign him without actually telling me they did not want him. Right? He said he was willing to take "less" than market value in a 3 year deal for 150 million to stay. Obviously that is still a lot less than the market offered him so he left.

Yeah sign me up for that! I'll take all of your disrespect and then ride off into the sunset! Two quick thoughts on Paul George. I am surprised the Clippers let him go because he has name value and the Clippers are opening a new arena this upcoming season. They still have James Harden and Kawhi Leonard to draw fans. And we will see if Paul George along with Joel Ebiid and Tyrese Maxey can all stay healthy and push the Celtics in the East.
