Perkins: I want to apologize to them for criticizing the Clippers for letting George go. It s good if George is gone.

August 9 News Recently, Perkins talked about the operation of the 76ers signing George last summer.

He said: "In the free agent market, there were actually not many teams who were really interested in Paul George. The Clippers were unwilling to give him a four-year contract, right? You know, that was the team he played for at that time. There was a reason why the Clippers were unwilling to give a four-year contract. I also had to apologize to the Clippers because I had criticized them for not giving George a maximum salary and not keeping him, but it turned out that without him, the Clippers were doing well."

Last summer, George signed a four-year, 212 million maximum salary contract with the 76ers.
