The Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association (NBA) have completed a new “Big Three.” Paul George, a free agent, signed a contract with the Philadelphia Phillies, and has built a strong lineup that leads to Joel Embiid and Tyreece Maxey.
U.S. sports media ESPN reported on the 1st (Korea time) that “George signed a four-year contract worth $212 million (about 293 billion won) with Philadelphia.” In other words, the destination was decided a day after George appeared on the FA market. 안전한 카지노사이트
Citing sources, the media said, “George will return to the Eastern Conference through this contract, which includes player options in the 2027-28 season, to form a team with MVP center Embiid and All-Star guard Maxey that can overturn the champion Boston Celtics.”
“One of the most powerful big three in NBA history, explosive guard Maxey, elite wingman George and dominant big man Embiid are in an ideal balance,” the media said of Philadelphia’s big three.
George is a nine-time All-Star player. During his five seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers, he averaged 23.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in 263 regular league games. In the last season, the last year of his contract, he played in 74 games and posted an average of 22.6 points.
Media analysis shows that the reason why George and the Clippers failed to renew the contract was the difference in the contract period. George wanted a four-year contract, but the Clippers reportedly offered him three years.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia has already signed Kelly Ubre Jr. and Eric Gordon to beef up its backcourt. Center Andre Drummond is also expected to be included in the bench list once again.
Attention is also focusing on whether George, who will join the powerful lineup, will win his first NBA championship. George had a one-two punch with Kawhi Leonard for the Clippers, but his best playoff performance during this period was the runner-up in the Western Conference finals, which he recorded in the 2020-21 season. In the last two years, he received the report that he was eliminated in the first round. This season, James Harden and Russell Westbrook joined the team, but the results have not changed.
