Paul George revealed that he nearly joined the Golden State Warriors before he eventually signed with the Philadelphia 76ers in free agency.

George detailed the potential trade to the Warriors during Monday's edition of Podcast P, presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment. He also mentioned that Golden State would have been able to retain Klay Thompson.

That was a real thing that was close to being done. That deal was close to being done from what I was being told on the situation, they was expressing just how much they wanted me there, how I could have fit in perfectly with Draymond [Green], Steph [Curry].
