Paul George has decided to decline his player option with the Clippers for the upcoming season, making him an unrestricted free agent. This move has sparked significant interest among teams, particularly the Philadelphia 76ers, who are expected to aggressively pursue him. The Sixers have positioned themselves with flexibility this summer by having a roster primarily composed of players on expiring contracts, allowing them to potentially land a player like George.
George’s decision to opt-out has led to speculation about his future with the Clippers. Reports suggest that George may be looking to meet with cap space teams, including the Sixers, to explore his options. The Warriors, who were previously rumored to have interest in George, are now out of the running due to salary cap constraints.
The 34-year-old George had a standout season last year, averaging over 22 points per game and shooting over 41% from three-point range. His impressive performance has made him an attractive target for teams looking to add a versatile scorer to their roster. Pairing George with the likes of Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey could make the Sixers a formidable contender in the Eastern Conference.
The Sixers have the ability to offer George a lucrative four-year deal worth $212 million, which could be enticing for the star player. As free agency opens, all eyes will be on where George ultimately decides to sign and whether the Sixers can successfully lure him to Philadelphia.
