The sole fact that Paul George is still playing in the NBA — let alone being a star in this league — after the gruesome injury he went through is nothing short of a miracle.
Just a couple of seasons ago, he almost carried the Kawhi Leonard-less Los Angeles Clippers to the NBA Finals, and he’s one of the best two-way players in the past twenty years.
However, it seems like some fans and the Los Angeles Clippers have already forgotten about that, as the team is reportedly fielding calls for his services, with the New York Knicks already reaching out to inquire about a potential trade.
Needless to say, that information went viral in the blink of an eye, and the fans had a lot to say on social media.

George is the kind of player who could lift the Knicks and help take them to the next level, barring injuries.
He’s used to playing with other stars, so you know he doesn’t have an ego and will embrace whichever role is asked of him.
The Knicks have craved a star forward since Carmelo Anthony left, and he’d perfectly round up their lineup with RJ Barrett, Jalen Brunson, Mitchell Robinson, and Julius Randle.
The Knicks could also look to dump Randle’s salary and give the nod to Obi Toppin, who’s given them plenty of solid minutes since entering the league, but who’s struggled to find consistent playing time with Randle in town.
Whatever the case, this could be a huge win for the Knicks, and not so much for the Clippers.
