Paul George is the key to NBA free agency, with his decision affecting other players like Brandon Ingram or Zach LaVine. George wants the right style of ball and a long contract, but the Clippers are hesitant. Orlando and Philadelphia are also in the mix.
Teams are offering shorter, larger contracts this year. George might opt into his current deal and seek a trade for a fresh start. His situation is complex, and solutions are still being negotiated.
