Well, this is going to be a bit of a recurring thing for me. I've got a lot of high-end SF's who need to sign this offseason. And in almost every case, there are a LOT of good and even great places for them to go. However, in the end, I need to decide which one is the best. The team my players choose to sign with may be a fit in 99 out of a 100 ways, and the other teams may all be fits in 94 out of 100 ways (which could normally be more than enough to sign them), but in the end I have to make the decision! All the suitors for Paul had something going for them, but this was my easiest decision overall.
Paul George will return to the Denver Nuggets. They have his Bird Rights, can offer him a 6th massive contract year, have a great team in place which is young and which Paul has grown with the past few years. Paul's family is settled in Denver. Paul is loyal to the Nuggets. We thank the other teams for bidding but it was going to be incredibly difficult if not impossible to pry Paul George away from the Nuggets.
Congrats Alex!
Year 1: $20,329,914
Year 2: $22,566,205

Year 4: $27,803,821
Year 5: $30,862,241
Year 6: $34,257,087 (Player Option)
Total: $160,867,755 (average of $26,811,292.50 per season)
