With Paul George joining the team to give them a true trio of stars, the Sixers’ offseason could not have gone much better.
George discussed his thoughts on free agency, his eagerness to join Philadelphia, and how he believes he’ll mesh with Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid during his first news conference last week.
