Paul George, one of the most sought-after free agents on the market, has reportedly agreed to a four-year, $212 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. The move comes as a surprise, as many expected George to re-sign with the Los Angeles Clippers or sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Paul George, one of the most sought-after free agents on the market, has reportedly agreed to a four-year, $212 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. The move comes as a surprise, as many expected George to re-sign with the Los Angeles Clippers or sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.
George, a seven-time All-Star and three-time All-NBA selection, has been one of the league's most consistent performers in recent years. He averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game last season with the Clippers.

The 76ers have been in need of a star player to complement Joel Embiid, and George fits the bill perfectly. He is a versatile wing who can score, rebound, and defend at a high level.
With George in the fold, the 76ers now have one of the most talented rosters in the league. They also added Kelly Oubre Jr., Eric Gordon, and Andre Drummond this offseason.

The 76ers were 47-35 last season and were bounced from the playoffs in the first round. With George on the roster, they should be considered one of the favorites to win the NBA championship next season.
George's departure from the Clippers is a major blow to the team's hopes of contending for a championship. He was the team's second-leading scorer last season and was a key part of their success.

The Clippers have re-signed James Harden to a two-year deal, but they will need to find a way to replace George's production. They could look to trade for a star player or sign one in free agency.
The Lakers were also interested in signing George, but they were not able to offer him as much money as the 76ers. The Lakers have been looking for a star player to pair with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, but they have not been able to land one yet.
George's decision to sign with the 76ers is a major development in the NBA offseason. It gives the 76ers a legitimate chance to win a championship and leaves the Clippers and Lakers scrambling to find a star player.
The 76ers will open the regular season on October 19 against the Boston Celtics. The Clippers will open the regular season on October 20 against the Sacramento Kings. The Lakers will open the regular season on October 18 against the Golden State Warriors.
