A week after agreeing to join the Philadelphia 76ers, Paul George has opened up on his breakup with his hometown Los Angeles Clippers and the breakdown in contract negotiations that preceded his exit.
George detailed his side of his talks with the Clippers on his podcast, "Podcast P with Paul George" that was published Monday.
In it, he said that he never wanted to leave Los Angeles, but that a "disrespectful" Clippers offer in October set the tone for negotiations.
"Just to put it out there, like, I never wanted to leave LA," George said (29:00, below).
