The Sixers are being aggressive in the trade market, per @ShamsCharania on @PatMcAfeeShow.
Philadelphia wants to see if another big opportunity presents itself instead of focusing solely on Paul George. pic.twitter.com/2w81Ozm3Mw – 3:05 PM

Sam Presti compared this trade to the Paul George trade that saw Sabonis and Victor Oladipo thrive in Indiana “this is going to be a good trade for everybody”
Mentioned Alex Caruso is a quintessential Thunder player. – 11:52 AM

Let’s dig into this idea of Paul George opting in with Clippers eyeing trade.
Does that mean he just doesn’t want to be a Sixer? Does this mean the Knicks or Heat are in play?

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

More on this storyline
Brian Windhorst: So, this is sort of setting up to the Clippers basically are positioning themselves to call Paul George’s bluff here. They have not been willing to meet Paul George’s price. He remains un-signed. You can’t just look at teams with salary cap space. If Paul George changes teams, it’s very likely going to be a situation where he opts into his contract and requests a trade. The Clippers have an offer on the table that is believed to be similar to what they gave Kawhi Leonard, which is a 3-year deal at just below the max. They believe he doesn’t want to leave LA. They believe he wants to stay in his hometown under those terms. That’s where we’re at. Is Paul George going to actually walk over getting an extra year and more money or does he want to stay where he’s comfortable alongside Kawhi Leonard? That is one of the biggest questions in the NBA as we head toward July 1. The Clippers, they have had a great opportunity here to close this deal with a full offer. They have not made it. We’ll watch how it plays out. -via x.com / June 21, 2024
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
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. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / June 20, 2024
