Just now, Paul George announced his major decision! Finalize the last stop of his career

Throughout last summer, the Philadelphia 76ers were willing to use a maximum salary of $212 million in four years to poach Paul George from the Los Angeles Clippers, they simply wanted to build the three Philadelphia giants Joel Embiid + Paul George + Teres Maxi, and then strive for the NBA championship with all their might! At that time, although many people felt that Paul George, who was 34 years old, was on a downward career, he was not worthy of the 76ers' maximum salary contract.

But the 76ers management valued Paul George's offense and defense attributes, and was sure that he could join forces with Embiid and Maxi to start a big career in Philadelphia! So, they did not hesitate to give Paul George the big contract he wanted for the maximum salary.

Although the outside world is so unfavorable to the operation of signing Paul George with a maximum salary, with the official announcement of the signing of the contract, Paul George officially became a 76er. In this way, his old club, the Clippers, could only watch the stars he exchanged for with Alexander and multiple first-round picks and went away! But the facts quickly proved that it was wise for the Clippers to give up Paul George, and the 76ers' high salary poached Paul George was a failure!

Because the chemistry of Embiid + George + Maxi is very bad, Philadelphia not only did not become a real championship team, but instead became a bottom team in the Eastern Conference that could not even make the playoffs. Although the 76ers have suffered a surge in injuries this season, this is only part of the reason for their failure in the season! It is no exaggeration to say that even if all the 76ers are healthy this season, it will be difficult for them to become a truly aggressive championship team.

Frankly speaking, the decline of the Philadelphia 76ers is probably really starting from signing George with a maximum salary! Because George's maximum salary not only locked the team's salary space, it made it difficult for them to make any big moves in the free market, but his incompatible relationship with the team has already hurt the team's development! Therefore, it is unlikely that the 76ers will achieve great success in the next few years. What is terrifying is that when the salary space is locked, they will have to accept their mediocrity! What is particularly heartbreaking is that Paul George no longer has the high fighting spirit and high enthusiasm he had before for the championship.

Recently, Paul George said on the show: "Of course you want to win the championship. You want to have a championship in your resume, but it doesn't matter. Not everyone can win the championship. Before me, many great players did not have championships, not only me. For example, Allen Iverson, who has no championship, has influenced and inspired people. So, if I can have an impact on even a player, I have done my job."

But it is such a guy who no longer has very big ambitions for the championship, but he decided to live his life in Philadelphia 76ers! Speaking about his future on the show, Paul George said: "I try to build a good relationship with the guys here because I plan to be here for a long time. This is my last journey, this is my last stop in my career, and I will do my best to connect with the people here."

Obviously, Paul George has decided to tie his future together with the 76ers! No matter what happens next, he will not choose to leave Philadelphia. When I heard George decide to live in Philadelphia, I don’t know what the 76ers fans felt? I was happy or disappointed or even a little angry! Perhaps, from the moment Paul George received a maximum salary of 212 million last summer, he had already made plans to retire in Philadelphia! As for whether you can win the championship? Everything goes with the flow…
