ESPN reports "4-year contract, total annual salary of 29.4 billion won" Return to the East after 7 years
Paul George
National Basketball Association (NBA) star forward Paul George will join the Philadelphia 76ers and challenge for the championship with Joel Embiid.
Sports media outlet ESPN reported on the 1st (Korean time), citing sources, that George had agreed to a four-year contract with Philadelphia for a total annual salary of $21.2 million (about 29.4 billion won).
George, who played for the LA Clippers until the 2023-2024 season, had difficulties in re-signing and eventually went on the market, choosing to transfer.
Drafted 10th overall by the Indiana Pacers in the 2010 NBA Draft, George later played for the Oklahoma City Thunder and Clippers.
If the Philadelphia trade is completed, George will return to the Eastern Conference for the first time in seven years since playing in Indiana in 2017.
Despite his 206cm height, George is a seasoned forward with mobility and outside shooting in the NBA. His main position is small forward, but he can also play power forward without difficulty due to his height.
Above all, the sophisticated outer shell is considered the greatest advantage.
He appeared in 74 regular league games in the 2023-2024 season, averaging 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists. 슬롯사이트
The field goal success rate was 47.1%. The 3-point success rate and free throw success rate were 41.3% and 90.7%, respectively.
His career regular season averages are 20.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists.
Philadelphia is the team that Embiid, who is considered a candidate for the regular season MVP, is holding on to.
Embiid, who won the 2022-2023 season MVP, also showed great performance in the early part of the regular season last season and raised expectations for a second consecutive award, but was pushed out of the competition due to an injury.
Philadelphia finished seventh in the Eastern Conference last season with a 47-35 record despite being weakened by Embiid's absence.
This is thanks to guard Tyrese Maxey's outstanding performance, averaging 25.9 points and 6.2 assists in 70 regular season games.
With Embiid and Maxi coming off injuries, Philadelphia, with the addition of George, has amassed a force that can compete with the 2023-2024 champion Boston Celtics for supremacy in the East. 파친코사이트
