I don't know if Paul George has anything to worry about just yet, at least not more than he's had to worry about with the LA Clippers in the last few years, right ? I saw Tyrese Maxey's interview edition on the Podcast P show, and it was all merry and good vibes only talking about how much and easy it was with play with Joel Embiid and how many version of Joel Embiid there is with the 76ers, I don't want to believe that's just coming from Maxey, simply because he's an absolutely always happy guy, and I don't think I've ever caught even on court with a negative energy or wrinkle on his face, so coming from him, it's only natural to have nothing but positive comments on how easy it will be for Paul George to settle right into rhythm at Philly.
Honestly, I doubt that the 76ers can contend for a title in the upcoming regular season. Even if Paul George finds the right rhythm with his new team and the George-Embiid duo performs well, it will hardly be enough to compete with teams like the Celtics and Bucks in the playoffs.
I wouldn't count the Bucks in anymore, as they struggled significantly last season and were in decline even after Lillard came in, especially with a new coach. I think the real challenge for the 76ers is the Boston Celtics. If the 76ers can face them in the ECF, I believe they have a chance of beating the defending champions. However, Embiid's health is crucial; without him, things will remain the same, even with PG already on board with the team.
as we can see here, 76ers are mostly at the top 3 in the NBA futures.
