Sixers Close Landing Paul George, Sign Andre Drummond, Eric Gordon!

The cap space plan... worked? The Sixers landed Paul George on a four-year deal to come to Philadelphia and join Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey to compete for a title. The Sixers also signed Andre Drummond and Eric Gordon to smaller deals. We did this pod at 11pm on Sunday trying to wait for the PG deal to happen. We tried!

Truly sad that Batum is no longer a Sixer.

[@donjohnson3195]

It is, but once PG Signs, we'll move on Fast 😂

[@madridforever933]

Honestly yeah, if there were any two players I prayed for us to re-sign, it was Batum and Oubre. Don’t know if getting PG will outweigh the sadness of losing those guys.

[@msdd7610]

@@madridforever933aye we’ve still got Oubre but yh sad to lose batum

[@julianc6863]

His wife wanted to be in LA

[@andrewsammons9643]

The ONLY times in recent NBA history where this type of free agent signing have happened are Durant to the Warriors and LeBron to the Cavs/Lakers. There hasn’t been anyone else this high caliber in this age range signing to a contender without assets changing hands for like 30 years. That’s how optimal this situation is.

[@julianc6863]

Dude Kawhi and PG went to LAC in 2020

[@SPACEKNOCKERZ76]

Kelly is back !

[@shine020]

Great moves so far

[@emilkairov8514]

The Sixers actually drafted Mikal with Lakers pick, traded Heat pick to Clippers for Tobias

[@drinkxyz]

Since he opted out and only the clippers and pistons can sign him, could the sixers try to shave a little off that max? Like a Tobias 4 year contract.

[@dmitriysarapkin8610]

Check the stats of PG in game 6 against Mavs and research the stats in the rest of his in elimination games.

[@royorbs3]

Painful to watch a few hours after it went down fr. Had to switch over to Steven A. Really should have waited to do the pod. Also could have talked about Tobias to the Pistons.

[@ryanrowe1975]

Tobias Harris 4 years of signing the Clippers Magic or Pistons

[@Dreamer88keys]

Klay coming

[@st-christian14]

HERE WE ARE!

Shout out WarMode!

[@chaserobinson9109]

Everyone loves Drummond because he rebounds. Which is the biggest reason the Sixers lose every playoffs outside of Joels injuries but then forgets about it in the offseason

[@brettnelson9185]

I just know one of our big 3 will miss the season due to injury since we’re the sixers. Sorry all

[@donjohnson3195]

It's not brilliant??? C'mon man smh.... It's Absolutely Perfect!! Bash him, Then Downplay his Great move 😂

[@jordansmith7954]

Tf is the holdup

[@julianc6863]

LA kept the wrong guy. Kawhi should have been booted. PG at least took 3 teams to conference finals. Maybe u think he was sick also of no Kawhi when team needed him. I think having a good young star player in Maxey helped alot. If it was just Joel he probably wouldn't come

[@officialthomasjames]

34 year old PG doesn’t scare me. I’d take 50 year old PG over Tobias.

[@donjohnson3195]

Drummond is a Big upgrade over Reed... I'm glad Bball is going away.,. You have to Rebound, to win

[@ebok33643]

Why not, let’s sign another past his prime guy like PG so we can fund his retirement 😊
