Los Angeles Clippers superstar Paul George has got to be one of, if not the biggest names in free agency this summer. He’s a highly-coveted star who has done well to prove his worth through the years, which is why it is no surprise that the nine-time All-Star has already been linked to multiple teams outside of LA.
Apparently, the Clippers do not seem as intent on retaining George’s services as you would assume.
Los Angeles Clippers Have NOT Offered Max Deal for Paul George

Speaking on Friday’s episode of NBA Today, ESPN’s NBA guru Brian Windhorst expressed his “fascination” with George’s situation with the Clippers. With free agency set to open on Sunday, Windhorst simply cannot comprehend why the Clippers have refused to act with a sense of urgency on the PG13 front:
“They are not acting like they are desperate to keep him,” Windhorst said. “… They are not offering him the max contract. They are not offering him max years. … Why are they not worried about [him] pulling all the stops to try and force his way to Golden State?”

As Windhorst revealed in his report, the Clippers have refused to offer George the max deal he is seeking, which is something that he will likely secure if he tests the waters of free agency.
Windy suggests that there must be a compelling reason for the Clippers to act the way they have considering how much they’ve invested in George through the years.
