76ers Sign Paul George to $212 Million Deal

The Philadelphia 76ers have dramatically reshaped their roster and salary cap space by signing Paul George to a four-year, $212 million deal, creating a new 'Big 3' alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. This move marks one of the most significant free-agent signings in the franchise's history. Despite entering the offseason with nearly $75 million in salary cap space, the 76ers have now exceeded the cap following multiple acquisitions, including Eric Gordon, Andre Drummond, and Kelly Oubre Jr. Some analysts argue that the era of the 'Big 3' may be over, pointing to the success of teams like the Boston Celtics, who have built deeper rosters. Meanwhile, rivals like the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks have also made notable signings in their bid to compete. The 76ers' updated roster has significantly improved their odds of winning the NBA title, now listed at +800.
