Suffice to say, this offseason is shaping up to be a less-than-ideal one for the 2023 NBA champion Denver Nuggets.

The Philadelphia 76ers have excelled in recent years with former MVP Joel Embiid taking the leap to superstar status.

Jennings’ comments came amid Tobias Harris’ heartfelt goodbye to […]

Heading into free agency, the Philadelphia 76ers had money to spend, roster spots to fill, and a concerted desire to build a winner around Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Ricky Council IV, Adem Bona, Jared McCain, and Paul Reed, who was still on the roster at the time. Fast forward ten days into July, and Daryl […]

In a candid revelation, Montrezl Harrell, a former teammate of Paul George on the Los Angeles Clippers, opened up about a heated incident that occurred during the NBA Bubble in 2020. This incident, which saw Harrell threaten to “knock [George] the f**k out,” highlights the intense pressures and emotional strains that players experienced during that […]

Paul George heading to the Philadelphia 76ers meant that the Los Angeles Clippers lost depth at the wings. While James Harden and Russell Westbrook are still there, both of these other stars cannot handle the more athletic players in that position. Surely, the new member of Joel Embiid’s squad is valued as a better player […]

Recently, the Los Angeles Clippers found themselves on the wrong side of the NBA news media cycle when they lost free agent wing Paul George to the Philadelphia 76ers after they were unable to come to terms with him on a new long term contract with the franchise.

The Philadelphia 76ers’ star trio of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George is going to be dominant and could lead the Sixers to a deep playoff run…if they manage to stay healthy. That’s the major caveat with the NBA’s newest Big 3. Embiid and George both have lengthy histories of sustaining injuries that derail […]

Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers have had one of the biggest offseasons of any team in the NBA, largely due to Paul George’s departure for the Philadelphia 76ers.

But after just five seasons and a grand total of […]

Paul George is joining the Philadelphia 76ers after spending half a decade with his hometown Los Angeles Clippers. A trio of himself, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey is as formidable as they come and should make Philly a more dangerous team. The fit with a star guard and star center, George said, is one of […]

After five topsy-turvy seasons, Paul George decided to leave the Los Angeles Clippers in free agency and sign a four-year, $212 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Joel Embiid has a new co-star — one that should give him even more space to operate on offense and someone who can help unlock his playmaking, too.

The New York Knicks nearly brought the house down last season as the Madison Square Garden faithful went crazy over Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo and the Knicks.

NBA Free Agency often leaves the hopefuls heartbroken. Paul George was rumored to go to a lot of squads prior to making his decision to join the Philadelphia 76ers. A big frontrunner to land him was the Golden State Warriors after they just let Klay Thompson and Chris Paul walk. Everyone was ecstatic about this […]

It is an end of an era for the Golden State Warriors after Klay Thompson decided to depart the team after 13 highly productive seasons to join the reigning NBA Finals runner-up Dallas Mavericks. Thompson’s departure, however, seemed rather inevitable, with the two sides failing to see eye-to-eye in contract talks. Sensing the loss of […]

When NBA free agency began on Sunday, June 30, the biggest question marks surrounded Paul George and Klay Thompson, two superstar talents that seemed destined to be on the move.

Paul George, who spent the last five seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers, is expected to officially be announced as the newest member of the Philadelphia 76ers sooner rather than later after reportedly agreeing to a four-year, $212 million contract.

For the first time ever in the […]

It’s been nearly five years since Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer stepped up to the podium and excitedly ushered in a new era of Clippers basketball. In what at the time looked to be one of the biggest heists since Danny Ocean and his crew hit the Bellagio, the Clips had come away with […]

The biggest and flashiest move of free agency thus far has come from the City of Brotherly Love, where Daryl Morey and the Philadelphia 76ers swooped in and stole Paul George away from the Los Angeles Clippers without the slightest bit of tampering. With the addition of the nine-time NBA All-Star, Philadelphia is now home […]

Paul George’s wife is Daniela George. Paul is a star forward for the Philadelphia 76ers. He excelled at Fresno State and had his jersey number retired in 2019.
