Why The Philadelphia 76ers Do The Deal
Similar logic applies to the Sixers here. George may be a better fit for this team than Harden.
That’s especially due to the emergence of Tyrese Maxey. He’s looked the part of a lead ball-handler in Philadelphia. For the Sixers, this is about diversifying their group.
Meanwhile, George is the type of player who compliments any contender. A 3-and-D wing with secondary shot-creating abilities is the type of player who can improve all 30 teams in the NBA.
Of course, none of those factors are sure to influence Philly here. They may have a simpler motivation.
