Paul George said he never wanted to leave Los Angeles but that negotiations on an extension with the Clippers started with a surprisingly "disrespectful" first offer.

George signed a four-year, $212-million max free agent deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. But the All-Star guard said on "Podcast P with Paul George" that he was willing to stay with the Clippers for the three-year, $150-million extension they gave Kawhi Leonard but with a no-trade clause attached. George said the Clippers wouldn't do that or give him a four-year, $212-million contract if they wouldn't attach a no-trade clause.
