Paul George's lack of extension with the Los Angeles Clippers suggests a potential departure.

The Philadelphia 76ers are seen as a threat to sign him, but the New York Knicks may be a better fit due to their deeper roster.

The Knicks could make a trade for George without giving up too much, potentially involving Julius Randle and Bojan Bogdanović.

George's leverage over the Clippers gives him control over his destination.

If the Knicks acquire George, they could form a strong core with players like Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, and Mitchell Robinson.

There may be concerns about George's age, but the Knicks' depth could help him age gracefully.

The decision to trade for George and potentially move on from Randle rests with the Knicks, but it could elevate them to contender status.
