Paul George’s extension is the $ trail on who got Doc fired. LAC traded away all their picks to get PG and he and Kawhi had player options for next year. They both could’ve been gone next year so he had all the leverage over Steve Balmer and CASHED OUT! Yea I said it, carry on…

$45M per year for PG? Could be another of those untradeable contracts. Or PG could end up as the Clippers next Blake Griffin. LMAO.
Boggle boggle boggle. And Leonard will want more. Pressure is on the Clips since PG won’t care if they’re not paying the back end.
