35. Paycheck P

36. them 28 games they play together gonna be lit

37. I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA COME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT LMAOOO

38. That’s a really strong signing. The city of Philadelphia is now a prayer circle for these guys’ health though.

39. Knicks gotta go get Arcidiacono now

40. PG went from playing with an injury prone superstar, to playing with another injury prone superstar.

41. George “Philly has always been my home”

42. Idc wat clippers subreddit says, George as 3rd scorer and 2nd best player is going be really good for a couple years. Sixers get a decent starter in a Paul reed trade and they’re stacked. Morey cooked this offseason

43. Paul George Clippers recap:

    2019-20: lost a 3-1 lead in the conference semis to the Nuggets, with an infamous side-of-the-backboard dud in Game 7

    2020-21: Made the WCF lost to the Suns in 6, teammate Pat Bev pushes CP3 from the back after losing

    2021-22: He and Kawhi injured most of the year, get the 7 seed but lose twice in the play-in and miss the playoffs completely

    2022-23: Lose in 5 to the Suns in the first round, more injuries

    2023-24: Lose in 6 to the Mavs in the first round

    What a wild ride

44. Timing is great if you live on the west coast of Australia!!

45. HUGE upgrade from Tobias Harris.

    Say what you want about PG but he will make a great 3rd option for the sixers.

    Can he be a reliable second option? No, but they got Maxey for that. He can be the best 3rd option in the league

46. Paul George is going to have made over half a billion dollars to play basketball

47. Morey was like sure you can take Harden but we will take your unprotected picks and PG in return what a steal.
