Paul George should go to the Sixers.
-Perfect fit with Maxey and Embiid
-Can sign for the max into cap space
-Philly has more cap space and picks to make additional movesNow that sign-and-trades are unlikely, Philly is by far George’s best option to pursue a championship. https://t.co/cPFUATNT5W

Team source confirms to @TheAthletic that LA Clippers All-Star Paul George will be an unrestricted free agent for the first time since 2018. ESPN first
Source close to George is not optimistic that he wants to return to the Clippers. He is a legitimate walk threat. Stay tuned. https://t.co/Ay0vYLGFZe

Paul George should go to Philly. His experience in the playoffs with his best teammate injured would be invaluable.
