The Golden State Warriors are reportedly interested in acquiring Paul George, a veteran forward who is expected to opt out of his player option and become an unrestricted free agent. While the LA Clippers are eager to re-sign him, the Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers are rumored to be potential alternatives if George is looking for a fresh start.
During a recent interview on “The TK Show,” Mike Dunleavy Jr. acknowledged that the Warriors have the trade assets necessary to acquire George if he becomes available. He did not confirm the team’s interest in George but emphasized the Warriors’ attractive organization and assets that could facilitate a big trade if the opportunity arises.
If George decides to leave the Clippers, he could potentially provide star-level production on the wing and help the Warriors return to contention in the league. However, George has faced challenges with his fitness while playing for the Clippers, so the Warriors will need to proceed with caution before deciding whether to pursue him.
As the Warriors gear up to retool their roster this summer, it remains to be seen if George is a real part of their plans or if the rumors surrounding their interest in him are just speculation. The team’s name being mentioned in connection with George may or may not lead to a potential trade or signing, but for now, it is an intriguing possibility for Warriors fans to consider.
