Sources are saying Paul George and Lauri Markkanen want to team up and their preferred destination is Philadelphia.
The specifications of this deal are blurry but you can imagine it would be a Four-Year Max contract for George.
As for Markkanen, the deal is currently unclear.
The expectation from those around the NBA is that Paul George is expected to walk away from his meeting with the 76ers tonight in California with a 4-year, $212M contract offer, league sources told

.
A new Big 3 of Embiid, Maxey, and George is inevitable in Philly.
Nobody believes in you, 21.
They're calling you a playoff dropper, 21.
They say you're not built for it, 21.
They say you shouldn’t be MVP, 21.
How will you respond, 21?

Free agent F Caleb Martin is finalizing a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell ESPN. Impactful pickup for the Sixers, who bring on the playoff-tested veteran from Miami.
Ricky Council IV is unironically one of the BEST rookies weve ever seen, even with minimal opportunities, and our front office refuses to sign him because of TOBIAS FUCKING HARRIS aka the WORST player in the entire league. absolutely sickening
The WNBA getting more popularity might be a bad thing. Russell Westbrook was getting death threats for shit like this, WNBA players about to spend half their salary on therapy😭😭
