LA Clippers fans were recently subjugated to some heartbreaking news, as it was confirmed that star player Paul George has made his exit from the franchise. After entering free agency when the Clippers were unable to retain the player in light of their issues related to the CBA guidelines, George has now signed on to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for a 4-year, $212 million contract. Even though the update comes after months of unsuccessful negotiations with the Clippers, it has still left several NBA enthusiasts in a state of shock. Many of them, including the player’s now former teammate Bones Hyland, chose to make their voice heard.
Taking to his official X account, the 23-year-old Clippers point guard highlighted his dismay. Instead of making use of words, however, Hyland used a couple of ‘dizzy-eyed’ emojis to put out his reaction for everyone to see.
Being traded to the Clippers at the age of 22-year-old, the young player was in the eye of Paul George, who carried the offensive effort for the team alongside James Harden. The veteran was certainly impressed with what he say, commenting that he loves Hyland’s “aggression” and highlighted his belief that the player is great “off the bounce, him getting to his shots, getting to his points on the floor, his playmaking, his creativity.” Losing George would certainly remove a mentor figure for Hyland at such an early stage.
Fans React to Paul George leaving the Clippers for the 76ers
No sooner had ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnarowski broken the news about Paul George joining the 76ers when people descended onto the comments section to share their reaction. One of them was in shock that the agreement was reported just as Eastern Standard Time was reporting the hour to be 3:34 AM. After all, what reason would there be to highlight their dismay in ALL CAPS? However, another fan assured the fan with three words that carry a deep meaning: “Money Don’t Sleep.”
From the 1987 movie ‘Wall Street’ to Gangsta L’s song, the phrase keeps being used since it seldom loses its meaning. After all, this isn’t the first instance when a trade or acquisition deal has taken place this late in the night.
Not everyone cared about how late the hour was. Milwaukee Bucks star Patrick Beverley was quick to respond when he heard the news, requesting Paul George to give his best to his new team.
