Paul George is anticipated to remain with the LA Clippers, despite significant interest from the Philadelphia 76ers. The speculation arises amidst reports of the Sixers eyeing George as a top target for the upcoming offseason, aiming to enhance their roster with a proven star.
Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report highlighted the potential intrigue surrounding George’s free agency, noting the sizable cap room projected for the 76ers in July.
While Philadelphia appears poised to pursue George aggressively, NBA insiders anticipate the star forward opting to re-sign with the Clippers.
George holds the option to decline his $48.8 million player option with the Clippers, granting him unrestricted free agency status this summer.
Despite the allure of exploring other opportunities, indications suggest that the 33-year-old forward is inclined to maintain his tenure with the Clippers.
Throughout the current season, George has been a cornerstone of the Clippers’ lineup, averaging 22.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game.
With the departure of James Harden earlier in the season, the 76ers are keen on fortifying their roster with a marquee talent like George.
