NBA insider Marc Stein reported that the New York Knicks are a potential trade suitor for Paul George if he opts into his $48.8 million player option for 2024-25. Keeping the Knicks on the list could position George for a trade to another team, potentially jumpstarting a retooling stage for the Clippers.
George's strong performance in 2023-24 could make him a valuable asset for the Knicks, who are looking to push further in the postseason. His presence alongside players like Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, and Julius Randle could form a solid core for the team.
