No. 2 former Paul George teammate for the LA Clippers to consider signing: Markieff Morris
Markieff Morris would be an interesting former teammate of Paul George for the LA Clippers to sign in multiple ways.
On one hand, he’s a solid player and would provide size that the Clippers could use next year with the likely departures of Cousins and Patrick Patterson this offseason.
One thing that’s also key, however, is that he and Marcus Morris Sr., his brother, were very vocal about how much they enjoyed and wanted to play together when they were together in Phoenix.
They had great chemistry on the court together, and Markieff had arguably the best year of his career when he played with Marcus in the 2014-2015 season. It was reported that Markieff wanted to come to the Clippers last offseason, and it ended up not working out.

Lakers are still interested in bringing him back even with the signing of Montrezl Harrell.
If you ask me, it seems like Markieff would still love to play with his brother.

He kept showing up at our playoff games when the rest of his Laker teammates headed to Cancun, and Marcus at times seemed to play better when Markieff was in attendance.
Not only does Markieff have experience playing with Paul George, but he’s a solid three-point shooting power forward who is enthusiastic about playing ball with his brother. He’s made it work in the past, and needs to be on the Clippers’ radar this summer.
