The Philadelphia 76ers now have their Big Three, introducing forward Paul George on Tuesday, July 23, as the star joins forces with guard Tyrese Maxey and center Joel Embiid.
The Sixers reeled in George, a former standout with the Los Angeles Clippers, with a four-year, $212 million max contract earlier this month. They were able to do so because Maxey waited his turn for an extension of his own, giving Philadelphia’s front office the ability to maneuver within the salary cap.
