The Philadelphia 76ers had a successful start to free agency by acquiring Paul George, agreeing to a five-year max contract with Tyrese Maxey, and signing key players like Kelly Oubre Jr. and Andre Drummond. However, uncertainties remain regarding the future of player Paul Reed. Meanwhile, former Knicks GM Scott Perry advocates for keeping Julius Randle due to his All-Star caliber and offensive contributions, despite recent criticisms and trade speculations. On the draft front, the New York Knicks made multiple moves, acquiring several picks and players, including Pacôme Dadiet, Tyler Kolek, and others. In contrast, Draymond Green predicts that the Knicks' bold move for Mikal Bridges might lead to another rebuild, drawing parallels to the Houston Rockets' past struggles after failed attempts to surpass dominant teams like the Boston Celtics.
