Since the first night of NBA free agency there have been winners and losers, among the latter there are certainly the Philadelphia 76erssince they have secured the best free agent available: Paul George.
PG signed a 4-year, $212 million max salary contract, joining the team Tyrese Maxey e Joel Embiid a Big Three that, on paper, is very well-matched and one of the best in the entire NBA.
The 76ers’ signings didn’t stop with the former Clippers. In the city of brotherly love, they will also be arriving Andre Drummond and Eric Gordon, in addition to the fundamental return of Kelly Oubre Jr. These moves expand coach Nick Nurse’s rotation, especially with the return of Drummond, who offers a quality backup center. This will allow Joel Embiid to reduce his minutes, thus also decreasing the risk of injury for the Cameroonian center.
The Philadelphia 76ers may not stop there. The 76ers are being talked about as one of the teams to seriously consider for Klay Thompson. However, after the arrival of Paul George, this solution seems less likely. Furthermore, it is said that LeBron James is very active in trying to recruit the former Warriors.
This first night of free agency projects the 76ers among the favorite teams to win the NBA title next season, injuries permitting, which with Embiid and PG are a factor to take into great consideration. In any case, we must congratulate Daryl Morey, who not only breathed new life into a struggling team, but brought it to a level of contention, perhaps the highest it has ever reached in the Joel Embiid era.
