- Clippers secure James Harden for $70 million two-year deal
- After all the Paul George drama in Los Angeles, the trade that took him there was not a good one
Paul George will not be returning to the Los Angeles Clippers, as he let the front office know that he will be opting out of his contract and look for a new home. Now, he has become a highly coveted figure by several NBA teams. However, there is a franchise that is the favorite to acquire him in the next free agency market.
According to reports from sources, the Philadelphia 76ers are actively considering the possibility of acquiring Paul George to accompany Joel Embiid in the pursuit of the championship, but they also have a lot of interest in Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
The news has generated great interest and speculation among basketball fans and experts. According to journalist Marc Stein, the 76ers are working on a scenario in which they could sign both Paul George and K in free agency.
What the market will look like in the first day of July
The players are unrestricted free agents, which would allow the 76ers to use draft assets to free up even more cap space. This strategy by the 76ers demonstrates their ambition to build a competitive team and make the most of their salary space.
Acquiring high-level players like George and Caldwell-Pope would strengthen their roster and give them a greater chance to compete for an NBA championship. Importantly, while reports indicate the 76ers are considering this possibility, no deal has yet been confirmed.
However, the team's interest in these two players has generated expectations and excitement among 76ers fans. Acquiring Paul George and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope would be a huge boost for the 76ers as both players are known for their talent and skills on the court.
He's a versatile forward and prolific scorer, while Caldwell-Pope is a solid shooting guard on both ends of the floor. The 76ers are determined to build a strong, competitive team around their star, Joel Embiid, and young talent Tyrese Maxey.
