After Leonard, will George leave the Clippers to join the 76ers? Renewals take center stage
The deadline for the 2024 season is over, but the most exciting moment is yet to come. According to Chris Haynes, the 76ers will make a bid for George in the summer, unless George agrees to extend his contract with the Clippers. The 76ers have five first-round picks plus $60 million in salary space, so they have a lot of chips to trade. Will George return to the 76ers with the Clippers and regain the championship?
The rumors about George's move to the 76ers are largely due to the fact that he signed a new contract with the Clippers. The Clippers could sign Leonard to a three-year, $154 million contract midway through the season, which means George's contract extension will move to the next stage. The Clippers have already made a name for themselves that they are interested in George and that they will be fielding their best players to play for the team next season. George's contract extension with the Clippers is capped at 4 years33 million. That was to be expected, but the sudden rise of the 76ers caused an uproar.
The biggest reason why George continues to stay with the Clippers is because of his excellent play on this team. Since Harden joined, the Clippers have suffered a season of losing streaks, and during that time, the Clippers have shown unprecedented strength, and in the end, in the previous days, they succeeded"Northern Expedition"Arrived at the top of the West. During that time, George averaged 21 per game5 points, 54 rebounds, 36 assists, 15 steals and 44 shots4%, 39% 3-point shooting, and in addition to Leonard, he also ranks second in scoring. These two can also complement each other and both can play the number 4 position. The Clippers have themselves and Leonard, both of whom are the mainstays of the team, and these two are the mainstays of the Clippers.
After being beaten by the Pelicans last time, the Clippers have fallen from first place in the West to fourth place in the West. George scored just seven points, shooting 0-of-8 from three-point range. However, that hasn't affected George's popularity this season. This season, he has made 20 of 31 appearances and 7 of 30 appearances, becoming the first player of the Clippers to start the game and arguably a top scorer.
But George has not received a new contract from the Clippers, and Leonard has signed a contract extension with the team, but the Clippers are still waiting for George's contract with Harden to expire.
George didn't sign a new contract with the team, but cheated on the 76ers.
The 76ers have enough quality to buy George. This summer, they have five first-round picks that can be traded, with a total salary of just $60 million and a total salary of 141 million, which puts them in the 15th out of 30 teams. The 76ers still have Embiid and Maxey left, and if George can lead the way to fill the three-guard position. In this way, the 76ers can free up the big three such as Embiid, George, and Maxey, and George can also play his three roles in the 76ers, and his position in the East is also a bright sight.
Whether George will join the 76ers depends on the performance of the Clippers. George is excellent offensively and defensively, but he's 33 years old, and he's not too young. How much the Clippers can pay is still in doubt. However, the Clippers have Leonard, Harden, and Westbrook, and even if they are not in Los Angeles next season, they are still in Inglewood, and what awaits them will be a brand new court. What's more, the Clippers also have some of the richest people in the league, and they are also willing to spend money. Now that there is such a place, what else can George wait for?
If George signs a contract with the Clippers, then it is foreseeable that the Clippers will still fight to defend their title with their current roster. If the 76ers want to get George, they have to use him to increase their value. Will George move from the Clippers to the 76ers? (Haley Dad Yankee).
