The Philadelphia 76ers made a significant move by acquiring Paul George on July 6, 2024, aiming to bolster their championship aspirations in the highly competitive 2024-25 NBA season. Yet, despite this strategic addition, the team has struggled considerably throughout the regular season, finding themselves in a challenging predicament.
Before the 2025 trade deadline, discussions surrounding George’s potential departure emerged; however, reports indicated that the 76ers were not considering trading him then.
Nevertheless, due to their underwhelming performance this season, the team could shift strategy during the offseason. Recent insights from Sam Amico suggest that the 76ers are exploring options to trade Paul George this summer, as referenced in a tagged Hoops Wire article.
