76ers interest in Paul George has died down
Shams Charania: The Philadelphia 76ers’ interest in pursuing Paul George has significantly waned in recent days, and the franchise is expected to be aggressive elsewhere with its salary cap flexibility and draft capital leading into next week’s NBA Draft, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

If the 76ers are out on Paul George, that doesn’t feel like great news regarding the Nuggets keeping Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Philly has always been viewed as the top threat to poach KCP — they’re the one “contender” with big cap room. – 7:10 PM

The Sixers are bowing out of the Paul George sweepstakes before free agency begins, per @ShamsCharania.
If Philadelphia is this confident in another plan, they must have assurances elsewhere. Stay tuned. pic.twitter.com/uASKSlkxBV – 4:59 PM

On @PodcastPShow Paul George went to bat for 2-way contract guard Xavier Moon.
Moon is not eligible to be on another 2-way with LAC. Other teams are looking into poaching him; that’s been the case before. Moon is ready for opportunity elsewhere, we’ll see if he gets it finally. pic.twitter.com/UfotOEkzf9 – 5:30 PM

More on this storyline
Windhorst suggests there’s a scenario where the Clippers could embark on an extensive reset if George leaves in free agency by also choosing not to re-sign James Harden. “And also when it comes to the Clippers, James Harden is sitting there,” said Windhorst. “James Harden is a free agent at the end of the month. What about Harden? If Paul George walks, you could let Harden walk and start half your team over. You’d be a cap space team. They have multiple options. The Clippers could still sign Paul George on July 1st. They could sign Paul George this afternoon, but the fact that they are not seemingly reacting to what his market clearly is, is something to pay attention to. It’s a bit of a fascinating development.” -via RealGM / June 20, 2024

“I didn’t like that moment. And I rock with Stephen A. obviously but just like, let it go. You know what I mean? Just let it go. Kawhi wants to play. I will keep beating that over the head until I’m out of breath. He wants to play. Like, [Smith] keeps making it something that Kawhi doesn’t want to play or he doesn’t want to be there,” George said via Podcast P, presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment. “I think we relied on Kawhi a lot this year, to where it kind of got to the point of like, hey there’s only so much my body can take right now.” -via Clutch Points / June 19, 2024
