The most important thing for the team is dealing with George's situation. He has a player option for $48.7 million and has to let the Clippers know by Saturday whether he'll opt in on his deal. George can decline the option and become a free agent if he and the Clippers are unable to come to an agreement on an extension before Sunday.
When Kawhi Leonard agreed during the regular season to a three-year contract extension with the Clippers for $152 million, the team had conversations with George about a similar deal. But no deal came to fruition and it was left up to George to speak on the matter after the Clippers were eliminated from the Western Conference playoffs in Game 6 by the Dallas Mavericks.
