There are a lot of players in the league today who are looking for a big contract to retire with late in their careers. And they are also well aware of the decline in their form, so these players don't want to compete for championships in the later stages of their careers, and getting a big contract is their first goal.

So that's part of the reason Paul George left the Clippers in the offseason, knowing full well that the Clippers might not be able to offer him a big contract. And to Paul's surprise, when he entered the free market, the 76ers successfully played the role of the wrongdoer. This offseason, the 76ers announced the signing of Paul George to a four-year, $212 million max contract.

I thought that the addition of Paul George would make the 76ers usher in a radical change, and I thought that the addition of Paul George would make the 76ers a top team in the East. But in fact, Paul George's performance with the 76ers this season has been very poor and he is completely unworthy of his value. And at present, their record has fallen to 11th place in the East, completely losing the spirit of the strong team.

Paul George's stats have been very sluggish this season, averaging only 15.4 points in 31.7 minutes per game, shooting just 40.5% from the field and 31.5% from three-point range. There are many fans who admit that the 76ers management may have to regret it secretly, because Paul George is currently 34 years old, and Paul George will be 38 years old when his contract expires after such a four-year contract is signed.

The 34-year-old Paul George's form has declined like this. Just imagine that the 37 or 38-year-old Paul George may be even more of a drag on the team, and when the 76ers are controlled by huge salary space, their future reinforcement space is very narrow, and they simply can't get rid of Paul George's big contract. So it's also comparable to a poison contract, the Clippers giving up Paul George is equivalent to relief, and the 76ers getting Paul George is equivalent to swallowing chronic poison. The 76ers were wrong not to sign Paul George to a contract extension with such a long salary cap. Because Paul George is a player who has suffered major injuries in his career, he is unlikely to be productive beyond the age of 36. So the management made a huge mistake that could cost them for a long time to come.
