BREAKING: Free agent F Paul George has agreed on a four-year, $212 million maximum contract with the Philadelphia 76ers

[Reality Check]

So it seems to me as if Daryl Morey did come out of this Harden thing well. Don’t they have some draft picks they can use in a trade or to further add cheap depth in the future going forward?

They do from the Clippers:

2026 first round draft pick from Oklahoma City, Houston or L.A. Clippers
Oklahoma City will receive the two most / more favorable of its 2026 1st round pick, Houston's 2026 1st round pick protected for selections 1-4 and the L.A. Clippers' 2026 1st round pick and Philadelphia will receive the least / less favorable of these; if the Houston pick falls within its protected range and is therefore not conveyed, then Houston will instead convey its 2026 2nd round pick to Oklahoma City [L.A. Clippers-Oklahoma City, 7/10/2019; Houston-Oklahoma City, 7/16/2019; L.A. Clippers-Oklahoma City-Philadelphia, 11/1/2023]

2028 first round draft pick from L.A. Clippers
L.A. Clippers' 2028 1st round pick to Philadelphia [L.A. Clippers-Oklahoma City-Philadelphia, 11/1/2023]

2029 first round draft pick from L.A. Clippers (Philadelphia outgoing)
Philadelphia has the right to swap its 2029 1st round pick for the L.A. Clippers' 2029 1st round pick protected for selections 1-3 (if this pick falls within its protected range and is therefore not conveyable, then the L.A. Clippers' obligation to Philadelphia will be extinguished) [L.A. Clippers-Oklahoma City-Philadelphia, 11/1/2023]

I just realized something...



...Clippers may end up signing Tobias. Beard gonna be stuck again

what u think about the 2/70m deal he signed.

Tobias going to Detroit

 

[Flight]

that 2028 Clippers pick is gonna be worth so much.

We adding that to Maxey and McCain….

Lawrence Frank saved us from a potential rebuild. We traded them Harden and PJ for PG and two firsts

 

[tremonthustler1]

Yup. Used the cap space to sign outright PG without having to give up any picks/assets in return and now people and agents will forget what he did to Harden with making it up to PG.

People clowned it at the time, but it worked out masterfully for him.

he's still gonna lose in the semis at best. Morey always does shyt like this.

Then when Embiid and George do what they do in the playoffs, we're supposed to feel sorry for Morey.

 

[Trapperman Dave]

He will go farther here than he did in LA

Spoiler

I hope

The finals? He already been in 3 conference finals

At least he’s trying, which is all you can ask right?

As long as Kawhi has a chance of playing and they sign a few more real role players who are athletic and play defense, and at least one decent 20+ ish ppg scorer, I'm good with it.

I think he would've been good with Wemby but CP3 I guess is gonna fit that role well too.

Jo just averaged 33/11/6 with one leg and a paralyzed face….

I’ll see you next season

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

I'm glad he's gone from the Western Conference.He always looked like a top 5 player of all time vs the Suns.

 

[Womb Raider]

The finals? He already been in 3 conference finals

Never mind that

He’s gonna actually win this time

Sixers winning the 2025 NBA Finals

 

[desjardins]

Embiid, PG, and Maxey is a real big three
All allstars last season
Getting Drummond, Oubre, and whatever Eric Gordan has left is a bonus too


What's the deal with Melton coming back?

His back is fukked. I dont think he comes back to Philly

 

[Rigby.]

that 2028 Clippers pick is gonna be worth so much.

if they get Dybantsa or Boozer with that '26 Clippers pick

Sixers are the Celtics' biggest competition in the east IMO

 

[pete clemenza]

Its a huge overpay, but PG should do well in Philly. He had to do and be everything for the Clipps when Kawhi was out all the time. Now he's playing and backing up two dudes that can go for 30-40 points a night in Embiid and Maxey
