Clippers vindicated for controversial decision that would've doomed them even more
Los Angeles Clippers, Steve Ballmer | Kevork Djansezian/GettyImagesLos Angeles Clippers fans don't have much to feel positive about at the moment, but there is at least one thing they can be happy didn't happen. If it had, the Clippers' situation would look even more dire. If you can remember all the way back to 2024, Los Angeles let Paul George walk to the Sixers to sign a four-year, $212 million deal.
George played 74 games in what was his final season in LA, averaging 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. The Clippers looked silly for letting him go, refusing to pay him what he wanted. Now, the Sixers look silly for paying George that money.
