While the Sixers have the necessary cap space to sign Paul George outright, it wouldn’t feel right leaving him off this list. Not when the nine-time All-Star is, as Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer put it, their “top target” this offseason.

George is everything Philly could want to round out its Big Three and then some. He is a legitimate lockdown defender who can carry an offense, serve as an off-ball shooter or do anything in between. He is more than accustomed to sharing the floor with other stars, too, as he’s currently suiting up alongside Kawhi Leonard and James Harden and previously paired up with peak Russell Westbrook.

George would have zero trouble fitting in, in other words, and he’s exactly the kind of instant-impact upgrade that a team on Philly’s championship-or-bust timeline should be aiming to get.

The only question is availability. The Southern California native has a $48.8 million player option with the Clippers for next season, per Spotrac, and while it seems like he’s a safe bet to decline it, there is a good chance he’d do so only to secure a new contract with L.A. Still, Philadelphia should explore the possibility of adding George until it’s no longer possible, even if that means getting him to town via sign-and-trade.
