Hard to say based on Paul George's recent comments about his plans for next season.
The Los Angeles Clippers star said he is no longer about chasing a ring.
"At this point, I'm not even necessarily, this is not even about - people say chasing a championship, it's not that. It's playing the right style of basketball is what I'm chasing," PG bared in his podcast.
PG is with the Clippers, and they remain a formidable team.
They just got unlucky with injuries to Robert Covington and Nicolas Batum in the playoffs.
Paul George's contract situation with Clippers
PG seeing another team is a possibility.
According to reports, the Clippers are not all in with George regarding contract negotiations.
The team gave Kawhi Leonard a max contract, but they are unwilling to sign PG for the same or higher amount.
Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote the Clippers "haven't offered George a dollar more than what they paid [Kawhi] Leonard: three years, $152.4 million."
The report was written as part of his coverage of the Sixers' desire to sign PG.
