The NBA free agent market has taken an intriguing turn with the news that Paul George has opted out of his final season with the Los Angeles Clippers, where he was set to earn $48.7 million in the 2024-25 season. While there is still a possibility of a deal being worked out with the Clippers, George is reportedly keen on exploring his options with other teams.
After meeting with the Clippers, George is scheduled to sit down with the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic, both of whom made the playoffs last season. George, aged 34, is coming off a stellar season where he posted career-high shooting percentages in field goals, three-pointers, and free throws. He also earned his ninth All-Star nod while averaging 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game.
