After what felt like a lifetime of rumors, “will he, won’t he” debates regarding extending with the Los Angeles Clippers, and more than a few reports of different teams being interested in him, Paul George was reported to have found his new home in the NBA on July 1 — the Philadelphia 76ers.
While many Sixers fans were likely asleep, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski dropped the bomb at 3 a.m. ET that George, a nine-time All-Star and six-time All-NBA selection, had agreed on a four-year, $212 million maximum contract with Philadelphia.
On Saturday, the deal was made official, with the team formally announcing the signing.
