NBA insiders and news writers often propose trade deals between teams. There is a trade proposal making headlines about the Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers trading Paul George.
The Paul George Trade Deal
- Cleveland Cavaliers will receive Jarrett Allen, Isaac Okoro, and Caris LeVert.
- In exchange, the Los Angeles Clippers will receive Paul George.
A popular NBA news writer, Ari Schwartz from HoopsHabit has proposed a blockbuster trade deal between the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Schwartz wrote:
“The Cavs had an amazing regular season, winning 51 games, but ultimately fell very short in the playoffs, losing in five games in a first-round series against the Knicks.”
Ari further added:
“With only two years guaranteed on Donovan Mitchell’s contract, Cleveland has to make a big move if they want to keep their newly acquired star around long-term.
“There may be no better way to do that than adding a proven veteran like Paul George. George is entering his 14th season but is still performing at an all-star level, with averages of 23 points, six rebounds, and five assists per game. He would fill a huge need at the small forward position, not to mention veteran leadership for an extremely young team.”
Paul George Career and Stats
Paul has had a great career while playing for the LA Clippers. He has been an 8 times NBA All-Star. Moreover, he could be a 9-time All-Star, but he missed the last 9 matches of the regular NBA Season due to his knee injury against the Phoenix Suns.
