“Joel [Embiid] and Paul George, both, I think are very likely to miss just about every back-to-back, or certainly the vast majority of them. Joel told me he’s gonna wear the [knee] brace … He really hates wearing braces or face masks … He’s told me he’s gotten more comfortable with it and has wrapped his head around the idea that: while he thinks he can play without it, it’s better to play with it.” - @TimBontemps on The Hoop Collective podcast

If you actually watch team USA play it’s VERY clear why Haliburton was chosen over Jalen Brunson
The Philadelphia 76ers signed Eric Gordon to a two-year, $6.77 million deal, which includes a player option for the 2025-26 season, league sources told @hoopshype.
Paul George confirmed on @PodcastPShow the Warriors were his preferred destination, but a sign-and-trade agreement fell through: “It would’ve been dope, man. I was looking forward to it, if it happened.” Golden State viewed George as their missing piece alongside Stephen Curry.
Caleb Martin vs Tobias Harris in the 2024 NBA playoffs: #Martin: #Harris: 11.6 PPG 9.0 PPG 3.6 REB 7.2 REB 1.4 AST 1.5 AST 46.7 FG% 43.1 FG% 44.0 3PT% 33.3 3PT% Tobias was on a max contract 🤯 #ForTheLoveOfPhilly | #BrotherlyLove
When the dust settles, Philadelphia will be a good case study on maximizing cap space. By Tyrese Maxey not extending last offseason, Philadelphia was able to sign Paul George, Andre Drummond and Caleb Martin with room. Kelly Oubre Jr. will be signed with the room exception. Philadelphia still has a cap hold on KJ Martin and can sign the forward a $7-8M contract and use as a trade asset. The 76ers are nearing the first apron once the roster gets finalized.
