Paul George is slated to make his Sixers debut at home against the Milwaukee Bucks on October 23. He'll make his return to Los Angeles and visit Intuit Dome for the first time on November 6. The Sixers will visit the Boston Celtics on Christmas Day.
Los Angeles may have represented George's storybook ending. But, his eyes are focused on a new relationship that has taken him across the country to Philadelphia, far away from home.
While the rest of the league was worried about keeping itself away from the straight jacket that is the second apron, Maxey's patience had the Sixers in position to create a big three with cap space left over to add to the roster.
The Sixers have landed free-agent wing Paul George, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The deal will pay the 34-year-old star the maximum $212 million over four years to walk away from the Los Angeles Clippers' perpetual offer of roughly $150 million over three years.
