The Golden State Warriors are reportedly interested in veteran forward Paul George, who is expected to opt out of his player option and enter unrestricted free agency for the upcoming season. The LA Clippers are eager to re-sign George, but the Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers are rumored to be potential alternatives if he is looking for a fresh start.
During an appearance on “The TK Show,” Mike Dunleavy Jr. acknowledged that the Warriors have the trade assets needed to acquire Paul George if he becomes available. While he did not confirm the team’s interest in George, Dunleavy stated that the Warriors have the resources to make a big trade if the opportunity arises. However, he emphasized that it is challenging to find players worthy of giving up those assets.
Paul George has faced challenges with fitness during his time with the Clippers, which raises concerns for the Warriors as they consider pursuing him. Despite this, George would bring star-level production on the wing and could potentially elevate the Warriors back into championship contention.
The Warriors are expected to make significant changes to their roster this summer, but it remains uncertain if Paul George is a genuine target or if the rumors are just speculation. The team’s ability to make a big move will depend on various factors, including player availability and fit within the team’s current structure.
