George accepted Leonard's invitation to join the Clippers and abandoned Shao Wei. Personal relationship may be only a small part of the reason, and even the personal relationship between them may be average. After all, they have different personalities.
First of all, Leonard is "Bai Fumei". In 20 19, leonard led the Raptors to kill the Quartet in the playoffs and reach the Eastern Conference Finals. Facing the five-star warriors in the finals, it's like Durant being reimbursed, Tang Shen being reimbursed, and the peak of the test is no longer there. In the end, the Raptors defeated the Warriors 4-2 and won the first championship in team history. Leonard won FMVP without any dispute.
At that time, in the case of Durant's achilles tendon rupture, Cam's strength was considered to be the second in the league outside James, and even many media believed that Cam was already the first in the league. Can such a player not be moved to invite George?
Secondly, George, who has never won the championship, is also eager to succeed. 20 10 entered the NBA. During the Pacers, George just made it to the Eastern Conference finals as much as possible. Although he was close to the final, he never made it to the final. I came to the west to join hands with Shao Wei, and then I came to Anthony. I was full of confidence and thought I could make a difference, but anyway, I didn't even play the western warriors, even the rockets were far behind, and I didn't even break through the first round.
As a result, George was obviously disappointed. Although Shao Wei helped George play the best season of his career on 20 18- 19, and his personal efficiency reached a new high, ranking in the top three in MVP rankings, he made another round of playoff trip.
The 29-year-old player is at the best of his career, and he certainly hopes to win a championship at this time. Around Shao Wei, this is obviously unreliable. It's easier with Leonard.
Finally, it is the temptation from home. Most people have a hometown plot and are willing to go back to their hometown to play ball. What's more, George's hometown is Los Angeles, the second largest city in America. Playing in Los Angeles means more business opportunities, more exposure opportunities and more traffic. To put it bluntly, you can make more money. Who will be too rich? So Jeangeorges actually agreed to join the Clippers without much consideration of the temptation to compete with stronger players for the championship and the temptation to play for his hometown team.
