+++ July 1, 2024, 3:20 p.m.: Rain of money for Tyrese Maxey – staying with the 76ers probably fixed +++
The Philadelphia 76ers’ coffers are ringing nicely. While Paul George is set to move to Philadelphia as a free agent for a maximum contract worth $212 million, those in charge have prepared another mega deal.
According to ESPN information, All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey has agreed to a five-year contract that could earn him up to $204 million.
Maxey was drafted 21st overall by the 76ers in 2020 and has developed into a star in recent years. The 23-year-old averaged 25.9 points per game last season, making him his team’s second-leading scorer behind Joel Embiid.
In the coming season, the top trio of Embiid, Maxey and George could cause quite a stir.
+++ July 1, 2024, 10:10 a.m.: Mega salary! Paul George moves to the 76ers +++
Last season, the star trio of Paul George, Kawhi Leonard and James Harden failed to start a deep run in the playoffs with the LA Clippers. The team from Los Angeles failed in the first round of the playoffs against the Dallas Mavericks.
In the coming season, the Clippers will have to go on the hunt for the title without one of their stars. According to ESPN, Paul George has agreed to a four-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. The free agent is set to sign a maximum contract worth $212 million.
George is set to play for the 76ers alongside star Joel Embiid and hopeful Tyrese Maxey. The 34-year-old is aiming for his first NBA title. Philadelphia has often been one of the favorites in the past, but has now been waiting for the title for 41 years.

+++ July 1, 2024: Chris Paul likely to join the San Antonio Spurs +++
After the not really successful collaboration between the Golden State Warriors and Chris Paul, the 39-year-old is leaving the franchise again. According to information from “ESPN”, the veteran is joining the San Antonio Spurs and will receive eleven million dollars in his one-year contract.
This would mean that Paul would play alongside the Rookie of the Year, Victor Wembanyama. The 20-year-old, 2.24-meter-tall Frenchman is considered the NBA’s up-and-coming star. However, Wembanyama had to get used to the NBA last season and received far too little support from his teammates to be able to aim for the playoff places.
Together with the experienced Paul, who can shine with his playmaking skills and mid-range shots, this is exactly what we want to achieve in the coming season.
+++ July 1, 2024: Will LeBrom James lure “Splash Brother” Klay Thompson to LA? +++
Klay Thompson will leave the Golden State Warriors after 13 years and four championship titles. His path could lead to the LA Lakers. According to ESPN, LeBrom James has already contacted the 34-year-old to convince him to make the move.
But other well-known franchises are also said to be interested in the gifted shooter. These include the LA Clippers, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Dallas Mavericks.
+++ July 1, 2024: Dallas loses Derrick Jones Jr. – successor found +++
According to ESPN, role player Derrick Jones Jr. is leaving the Dallas Mavericks and joining the Clippers. In Los Angeles, the forward is set to receive a three-year contract worth 30 million EDollaruro.
In return, according to insider Wojnarowski, the Mavricks have secured the services of former Pelicans pro Naji Marshall. The 27-year-old is set to earn $27 million in three years.
+++ July 1, 2024: Hartenstein in focus of the Orlando Magic? Future of Moritu Wagner unclear +++
With Franz and Moritz Wagner and the rookie Tristan da Silva, there are currently three Germans with the Orlando Magic. According to Bobby Marks of ESPN, another could join them in the form of Isaiah Hartenstein. However, Moritz Wagner could fall victim to this. The older Wagner brother will become a free agent because an existing team option for eight million dollars was not exercised. However, Wagner and the Magic are said to still be open to working together.
It is also not certain that Hartenstein will leave the New York Knicks. Although the Knicks are already working hard on their current team, an extension with the center is still under discussion.
+++ July 1, 2024: Harden likely to remain with the Clippers +++
James Harden is expected to continue chasing titles with the Los Angeles Clippers next season. According to ESPN, the superstar is set to sign a two-year, $70 million contract. The second year of the contract will include a player option, according to the report.

As sources told ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, Kelly Oubre Jr. will remain with the Philadelphia 76ers. The guard is said to have agreed to a two-year contract that will pay him $16.3 million. There will be a player option for the 2025/26 season.
Oubre Jr. joined the 76ers in the summer of 2023 ahead of the Charlotte Hornets and averaged 15.4 points last season.
+++ July 1, 2024: Ex-NBA champion to the Magic? +++
Magic star Franz Wagner can apparently look forward to prominent support. According to information from “ESPN” reporter Wojnarowski, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is about to sign a three-year contract with the Orlando Magic.
This is expected to earn the Three ‘n D player $66 million. Caldwell-Pope won the NBA title with the Lakers in 2020 and with the Denver Nuggets in 2023.
