The Philadelphia 76ers form an epic triumvirate. Yesterday, Philadelphia signed Maxey and George with maximum salary contracts. Maxey received a five-year, $204 million contract, with the following salaries:
$35.14 million for the 2024-25 season
$37.96 million for the 2025-26 season
$40.77 million for the 2026-27 season
$43.58 million for the 2027-28 season
$46.39 million for the 2028-29 season
After George left the Clippers, he also quickly reached a four-year, $212 million contract with Philadelphia, with the following salaries:
$49.2 million for the 2024-25 season
$51.7 million for the 2025-26 season
$54.1 million for the 2026-27 season
$56.6 million for the 2027-28 season
In addition to this, Philadelphia will also sign Embiid to a four-year, $193 million contract extension. Once this contract is won, the trio will become the league's most expensive Big Three. Quite interestingly, in this year's playoffs, Embiid and George attended the ESPN Finals commentary seat as guest commentators, and in the process of chatting, Embiid George and the two expressed their envy for the Mavericks and the Green Army to be able to compete in the Finals, and said that their dream is also to be able to prove themselves on the stage of the Finals.
At that time, Embiid once lamented that whether it is winning the championship or the finals, it takes luck, and if you can stay healthy, maybe success will come naturally. The moderator took advantage of the situation, and if he could get good reinforcements, he would probably be able to change the process. Perkins, who was sitting on the sidelines, took advantage of the situation, and the best teammate you two needed might be on the spot?
Now, George and Embiid are together, and maybe something big can happen in the future. Maxey, who has just played in value not long ago, Embiid, who is at the top and is about to start reaping honors, and Paul George, a well-ripened forward star, may be able to bring surprises to fans.
Especially for the next few years, there is no such thing as a superpower team in the NBA. The Green Army wins in the overall strength of the average, the Nuggets are strong in the single strength, the Bucks lineup is slightly deformed, the Warriors Lakers are aging, and different teams have their own flaws, and at this time, Embiid and George do have a chance to win a championship, but whether they can win it depends on their future performance.
