Local media “ESPN” reporter Adrian Woznarowski reported on his social media on the 1st (Korea time) that the Philadelphia 76ers and George signed a large contract as breaking news. According to reporter Adrian Woznarowski, Philadelphia signed a four-year contract with George for up to $212 million (about 292.8 billion won).

George’s transfer was only a matter of time. George’s contract with the Los Angeles Clippers was through the 2024-2025 season, but it included player options. George wanted a new contract instead of the $48.78 million he could receive next season, and he received interest from multiple teams.

The team that offered George the most attractive terms was the Philadelphia Phillies. It is a four-year contract and includes player option clause for the final season, just like his contract with the Clippers. He has strong teammates. Philadelphia, which acquired George, has built a new BIG.3 with Joel Embiid and Tyreece Maxey. 동행복권파워볼

Philadelphia finished seventh in the Eastern Conference last season with Embiid playing only 39 games due to injury, and finished the season with a 2-4 loss to the New York Knicks in the first round of the playoffs. Philadelphia, which had to challenge Embiid for the presidency when he was in his prime, was eager to strengthen its power and got George.

In addition, Philadelphia also proved its potential with Maxi averaging 25.9 points, 3 3-pointers, 3.7 rebounds, and 6.2 assists in 70 games last season. Philadelphia, which has a clear card inside and outside, actively negotiated right after George declared FA, and invested a large amount to build BIG.3.

George had an average of 22.6 points, 3.3 3-pointers, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 74 games last season. He has played the most games since moving to the Clippers, allaying concerns over his durability. Will Philadelphia, which has built a solid starting lineup by recruiting George, be a rival to the Boston Celtics.
