The 76ers are ‘like the Clippers all over again’ - Brian Windhorst on Philly’s struggles | NBA Today

Maxing out a 34 yr old Paul George to put him on the same team as Joel Embiid who both have issues staying on the court is going exactly the way it supposed to go lol 😂

[@Hemingway-dq4fx]

As a Sixer's fan, when Sixer's fans were excited about this, I wondered if I had been transported to alternate universe where Paul George and Joel Embiid have been healthy their whole careers and actually showed up in the playoffs. How could anyone not have expected this?

[@charlievogel6063]

Yep. I think the Clippers never expected a team to come over them and offer a 4 yr Max deal for PG. He had one healthy season because it was a contract year. Mission accomplished!

Paul George should be a bench player at this point in his career. Teams need to be minimizing the opportunities for him to get injured. Kawhi and Embid too. At some point, lack of availability needs to outweigh talent and these teams need to stop paying these guys these insane contracts to not play. I mean, they can do what they want honestly, but it does feel like sometimes better talent is pushed out or missed because there isn't enough cap space because its wasted like this.
