As NBA free agency gets underway, Paul George's future is one of the most intriguing storylines that could impact the league's power dynamic in 2024-25.
Early on, George was reportedly in the running to land on several teams, including the possibility of re-signing with the team his contract just ended with, the LA Clippers. By Sunday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that George's representation and the Clippers met and mutually agreed that there was no middle ground to be found between the two parties on a new deal.
ESPN Sources: Paul George’s agent — Aaron Mintz of CAA — and Clippers president Lawrence Frank had a conversation a short time ago that resulted in no new movement on a deal and an acknowledgment by both that George is unlikely to return to the Clippers.And therefore, the window opened for other teams to find an agreement with George, the nine-time All-Star in pursuit of his first NBA title.George's time with the Clippers appears positioned to end after five seasons where he averaged 23.
The Sixers are equally hungry for additions that will position them for an NBA title. Philadelphia has aimed to build around superstar big man and MVP Joel Embiid for several seasons now, but has not advanced past the Eastern Conference Semifinals. George is one of many players the Sixers have acquired to try to cobble a contender around Embiid. Previously, Philadelphia tried to make former MVP James Harden work to no avail.
