The belief is that the Clippers are unwilling to meet Paul George's expectations for his next contract, per @PompeyOnSixers

“The Sixers are closely monitoring the situation, hoping the Clippers let George slip away.”

How much money is PG13 asking for that even Balmer is like "thats too much"

Probably max possible deal, whatever that is. 

If Clippers don't want to pay him that and risk losing him for nothing to Sixers, his price shouldn't be high. Problem is the matching contracts and Clippers unlikely willing to take any trash back (they would rather have imho the TE than paying huge tax for some salaries they don't really want or need). Matching salary would be likely something like THJ, Green and Maxi. I think Clippers would take Green (better than nothing from Philly) and Mavs would need to pay someone (or two teams) to do them the favor and take THJ and Maxi for no salary coming back. That also shouldn't be very costly, one FRP should be more than enough. 

In my view. If George would want to be here, I eat his deal and have a couple of years of serious contention window with Kyrie and him.

The ones posting George injury history. Caruso is also not really mr. Healthy. Never played more than 70 games in his career.
