The rest of the league is salivating over the thought of smashing their elbow into Embiid's orbital bone.
I don't buy it. It's all a ploy and makes no sense when Morey didn't sign Harden.76ciology wrote:Should Paul George depart from the Clippers, the Philadelphia 76ers are poised as the top contenders to sign him, per Bovada
Philadelphia 76ers: +275
New York Knicks: +950
Sacramento Kings: +950
Oklahoma City Thunder: +1400
Indiana Pacers: +1400
Dallas Mavericks: +1500
Los Angeles Lakers: +1500

Wasn't Morey asking for a star wing from the Clippers when negotiating the Harden deal? Additionally, he appears determined to secure supermax cap space in the offseason. I don't believe he will merely allocate some of that space for picks, similar to Presti's approach with the upcoming CBA. The next best possibility could be using the cap space for ex-raps like Siakam or OG.

Also those no defense and ball dominant style players are way more problematic for team building, specially if they make a lot of money. George is a way better fit here.
I think giving a multiple year max(or close to it) to Harden was a considerably worse move. Its not the same.
