Recently, the NBA free market has been extremely lively, Philadelphia has made a lot of money, and in just one day, it quickly won Paul George and extended Maxey, and the contract salary of the two is 416 million US dollars, which is a crazy signing!
George may have had enough of the inaction in the Clippers, thinking that he wanted to chase a super-large pension contract, but he didn't expect George to have both a pension contract and a championship trophy. Interestingly, George and Embiid were also commentators at the NBA Finals not long after it ended, and Embiid was photographed by the media at that time on suspicion of recruiting George to the team. Now that the two may have discussed it in private, the Philadelphia team quickly offered George a four-year, $212 million contract, which solved his worries.
The 38-year-old George still has a big contract of $50 million. The acquisition of George was not over, and Philadelphia then offered the team's young star Maxey a five-year, $204 million contract. Maxey is a new guard star cultivated by Philadelphia in recent years, with strong offensive means and scoring explosiveness, the team was willing to let go of Harden because of the potential and strength of Maxey, as early as last season Maxey can renew the contract with the team in advance, in order to make it easy for the team to sign and choose to execute the contract.
Now the team does not owe Maxi anything, and immediately offered him a big contract of more than 200 million US dollars, and the two sides also took what they needed and reciprocated each other. As a result, Maxey and Paul George's contracts together are $416 million. Philadelphia is really a big deal this time, gathering a combination of offensive and defensive stars with good offense and defense on the guard, a bit like the Heat Big Three lineup back then. On paper, such a team is unassailable.
I believe that Embiid has the help of two teammates this time, and he doesn't have to cry anymore, at least he should be able to touch the floor of the Eastern Conference finals.
