Paul George has signed a 4-year, $212 million max deal to join the Philadelphia 76ers. PG13 is moving on from LA and headed to the city of brotherly love, where Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey await. (Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact:
George's time with the Clippers was wrought with disappointment. LA was seen as a preseason title contender for the last several years only to remain just that, a preseason title contender. Usually, their fate came down to the health of their stars, be it George or Leonard. And in this year's playoffs, Leonard was not healthy and the Clippers were bounced out in the first round. George's new teammate Joel Embiid hasn't always had a clean bill of health either, but it does give him a change of scenery with a team that feels more of an up-and-comer versus a Clippers team that feels like a group of stars at the ends of their careers. It will be interesting to watch how the trio of George, Maxey, and Embiid mesh this year and if they can become a dynamic big three.
