@@ColdHoops I saw him say on a podcast that winning was a big thing for him, which would make sense considering his bad luck over the years. But if he’s honest enough to admit that all he cares about is getting as much money as possible, then I don’t hold it against him for not trying to take less to play with a better team. But I agree with you, if I was GM and heard that, he would be off my board completely.

He’s going to Philly.

Is it too late for him to get traded to the Bucks for Middleton?????????

76ers better offer the max

[@mannymac82]

Do you realize that PG was talking glowingly about Paolo and the Magic being an upcoming team. I think you are being a little biased and selling the Magic short.

Something that is worrying the Sixers.. Yean its called the 4 year max deal that George is demanding to leave LA 😂

[@Alex_Off-Beat]

If the Sixers aren't willing to even offer PG a max contract then they're an even bigger joke franchise than I thought.
