 And Shep with NBA free agency set to open in less than 24 hours. It was a busy Saturday of player and team option decisions, and one player now set to join the market is Paul George. Reports say George is declining his nearly $50 million player option with the Clippers for next season to enter free agency, and those reports say he'll take a meeting with three teams, the Clippers, Magic, and the 76ers. LeBron James is also turning down his player option, but reports say he is expected to remain with the Lakers.
