To the latter question, Zena, no. And we can get into the details there. They obviously, the Warriors situation was really the only substantive chance they had to get assets in return for Paul.

Why the Clippers didn’t want Paul George | Celtics potential sale

The draft assets that the Clippers wanted back were way more than the Nuggets were willing to give up. So the Warriors situation is front and center. The way they describe it is that basically if the Warriors would have legitimately put Jonathan Kaminga and to a lesser degree, even Brandon Pajimski on the table, then maybe they go ahead and do it.
