With the official statement of the Clippers, the basketball world once again made waves. Paul George, the star who led the Clippers to great success, is leaving the team he has played for many years to start a new career. The news undoubtedly came as a big shock to Clippers fans, however, for the Philadelphia 76ers, they seemed to be the biggest winners of this star transfer.

George's departure didn't happen overnight, and behind it was a long contract negotiation between the Clippers and the player and the team's future planning. Over the past five years, George has become the absolute core of the Clippers due to his outstanding talent and all-round ability. He was named to the All-Star team three times, breaking the all-time three-point record and leading the team to unprecedented heights. Especially in the 2021 playoffs against the Jazz, George's outstanding performance was even more unforgettable.

However, as the Clippers' core players get older, the team faces the dual pressure of contract extension and rebuilding. Although the Clippers have made great efforts to build a "Ka Pepper Combination" with George and Leonard at the core, it is difficult for them to keep both top stars under the existing collective bargaining agreement. After a long period of negotiation and negotiation, the Clippers and George were never able to reach an agreement. Eventually, George chose to leave in search of new challenges and opportunities.

George's next home became the center of attention. According to Woj, the Philadelphia 76ers emerged as the frontrunner for George's next home. The two sides plan to meet in California to discuss specific contract details. For the 76ers, George's addition will undoubtedly greatly enhance the overall strength of the team. They already have a super center like Embiid, and with the addition of George, the team's inside and outside lineup will become more balanced and powerful.

In addition to George, the 76ers also signed two strong players, Drummond and Gordon, to further strengthen the team's bench. Drummond is an experienced center player who played well with the 76ers in the 2021-22 season. His return will provide important support for the team's interior defense and rebounding protection. Gordon, on the other hand, is a defender who is good at shooting and organizing offense, and his addition will enhance the team's outside firepower and improve the team's overall offensive efficiency.

George's joining not only improved the strength of the 76ers, but also allowed Embiid to gain three helpers. Embiid, as one of the team's core players, has been under tremendous offensive and defensive pressure. Now with George, Drummond and Gordon on board, Embiid is no longer alone. The chemistry and chemistry between them will make the 76ers even more unassailable.

For the Clippers, George's departure is undoubtedly a huge blow. However, they did not let this discourage or give up. Instead, they said they would use the team's strengths to continue attracting top talent and rebuild a competitive team. Tyronn Lue, as one of the best coaches in the league, will continue to lead the Clippers forward and look for new opportunities and challenges.

Overall, George's departure has brought a lot of losses to the Clippers, but it has also brought new hope and opportunities to the Philadelphia 76ers. In the new season, we will see George and Embiid and other stars work together to write a new chapter in the world of basketball.
