With Leonard signed, attention will turn toward Paul George, who has been eligible for his extension since Sept. If you’ll recall in training camp, PG reiterated his desire to one day retire a Clipper “but both sides have to be on the same page” latimes.com/sports/clipper… – 2:08 PM

The James Harden trade might be a win already just by getting Kawhi and Paul George to re-sign. – 1:50 PM

The Clippers announced they have signed Kawhi Leonard to a contract extension (he could have opted out after this season).
Expect the same with Paul George, then the Clippers to re-sign James Harden this summer and they will ride this core into their new building next year. – 1:26 PM

“[Kawhi]’s making it look easy. And it is easy for him,” said the Clippers forward on his podcast. “He got that much respect that when he post up, they doubling him right away. Like ‘we won’t even let you get a shot off.’ That’s how effective he is at the post and getting to his spots…but I was looking at him yesterday, actually watching him in the game, and I’m just like bro, some people are just meant to hoop. Like some people were put on this Earth just to play basketball. You watch him move, you watch his movement, that is a basketball player. He was just made to do this. The game is just so easy for him. It don’t matter if it’s mid-range, from three, it’s cash, it’s money. I don’t know, I think it just puts everybody around at ease, knowing there’s a lifeline there. -via Clutch Points / January 9, 2024
