The Philadelphia 76ers are eyeing Paul George if he leaves the LA Clippers, but are also considering LeBron James if George doesn’t sign with them, according to recent reports. They’re keeping their options open for the offseason.
“The Sixers do have their eyes on other lucrative-salary impact players just in case they don’t get George,” Pompey wrote.
“That’s why they also are looking at potential free agents like the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James and New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby. If not in free agency, the Sixers believe they can use their draft assets and available cap space to acquire a difference-maker via a trade.
That has led to Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler, Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine, and New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram being among trade interests.”
Since Paul George is likely to stay with the Clippers despite ongoing contract negotiations, the 76ers are shifting their focus to other potential star acquisitions for the summer.
