New Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George admits he couldn’t turn down an offer like this because it would end up joining MVP center Joel Embiid.

George initially wanted to stay with the LA Clippers. But his offer of a three-year, no-trade option was rejecte by the team สมัคร ufabet. 

That led the 34-year-old to decline his player option for the 2024-25 season and become a free agent, eventually signing a four-year, $212 million deal with Philadelphia to team up with Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.

This extraordinary opportunity, which offers both salary and championship-winning status, makes it hard for ‘PG 13’ to refuse. 

“I think everything is perfectly allied… I think we are in a position to chase the title of the league,” he said at the official launch press conference. 

“I’m a basketball fan who’s been following Tyrese and Joel from afar – I’ll let you in on a secret: Embiid is the person I’m closest to when it comes to the All-Star Game.”

“So it feels like it’s something that I can’t refuse if I get to work together, to be a teammate. I’m ready to give it my all.” 

“Looking at the strength on the mat, there is no better chance of winning the championship than Philadelphia.” 

“With the basketball fan base, the passion they have for their local sports teams, there’s no better place I’d rather partner with and win a championship than here.” 

In addition to the three star players, the 76ers were also able to re- sign Kyle Lowry and Kelly Oubre Jr. , as well as All – Star center Andre Drummond and guards Caleb Martin, Eric Gordon and Reggie Jackson from the free -agent market .
