On May 19, NBA 76ers star Paul George recently updated his podcast column again, and publicly talked about the main reason for choosing to join the Clippers from the Thunder that year because Westbrook first decided to leave the Thunder, and he had no choice but to make a choice in advance: "

I know that this choice has been criticized by the outside world, but that was the time when Westbrook first told me that he wanted to leave. He had been with the Thunder for more than 10 years and had no hope of sprinting to the championship. He hoped to change his team to find opportunities. Later, he joined the Rockets and fought side by side with Harden!"

"Of course, after I knew Westbrook's idea, I could not stay alone. Thunder, that is obviously meaningless, so I made a trading decision ahead of him, and I had to make a choice that was beneficial to myself, and the Clippers just extended the olive branch of the trade, and I went to the Clippers to fight Leonard! "

But it was when the Clippers chose to trade with the Thunder in 2019 to send a young Alexander deal to Paul George. From now on, to evaluate this deal, how short-sighted the Clippers' management is. If Alexander trains for another two years, perhaps the Clippers have formed a king combination of Leonard and Alexander. Why not worry about winning the championship? Paul George's five seasons with the Clippers have not brought any honor to the Clippers except for constant injuries!
