76ers Sign George, Extend Maxey's Contract

The Philadelphia 76ers have made significant moves in the 2024 NBA free agency, signing nine-time All-Star Paul George to a four-year, $212 million contract and extending Tyrese Maxey's contract for five years at $204 million. Maxey, who averaged 25.9 points and 6.2 assists per game in the 2023-24 season, also earned the NBA's Most Improved Player award and his first All-Star nod. The team now has a formidable core with Joel Embiid, George, and Maxey, positioning themselves as strong contenders in the Eastern Conference. Despite these high-value contracts, the 76ers still have some financial flexibility to fill out their roster. The team's aim is to finally break through to the NBA Finals, a feat they haven't achieved since 2001.
