Despite the Knicks reported interest to acquire Paul George in a trade, it appears that New York has changed its course of action as it pertains to the Clippers’ star.
Earlier Thursday, SNY’s Ian Begley reported that the Knicks and Clippers had opened discussions about a potential deal for George. However, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reported that a source close to the trade discussions stated there was “nothing” brewing for George and “don’t expect it [trade] to happen.”
Additionally, the Los Angeles Times reported that the Knicks became “hesitant” about trading for George following some internal discussions that included the franchise thinking the 33-year-old would ask for a contract extension. George is eligible to receive a four-year contract extension worth close to $220 million.
