By | Bullscore 23 Jun, 2023

Some rumors about Clippers Trade Rumors have emerged in the basketball world and the Paul George is up for trade and there are already 2 NBA teams ready to get their hands on him.

Paul George joining forces with Kawhi Leonard on the Los Angeles Clippers was seen as a huge deal. Everyone thought that together they would win many NBA championships. However, things didn’t go as planned due to bad luck and various injuries. Now, it’s not surprising that there are rumors of them potentially going their separate ways.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, there is a genuine belief in league circles that George could get moved.

“League sources tell The Stein Line that the LA Clippers have left various rival teams with the impression through their Draft Week conversations that they are, at a minimum, attempting to gauge Paul George’s trade value and, to hear some describe it, giving real consideration to the idea of disassembling the Kawhi Leonard/George tandem,” he wrote.

And already there are two NBA teams are here for George.

“(Damian) Lillard’s [Portland] Trail Blazers at No. 3 in the draft and the star-searching Houston Rockets at No. 4, sources say, have been identified as potential trade partners if the Clippers decide that they indeed want to shake their roster up dramatically for the final season before the team moves to owner Steve Ballmer’s sparkly new Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., for the 2024-25 campaign,” Stein continued

There have been rumors linking George to potential trades, and he could be a great fit alongside Damian Lillard on the Portland Trail Blazers.

Similarly, the Houston Rockets seem determined to improve and make a meaningful impact in the Western Conference. George, especially if James Harden also joins, could bring some life back to that team.

However, it’s important to remember that any decision involving George will ultimately require Kawhi Leonard’s approval. If George does get traded, it will be because he agreed to it.

Will George still be a member of the Clippers at the start of the 2023-24 NBA season? We will find out soon enough.
