The Dark Side Of The Paul George Situation

When the Philadelphia 76ers signed Paul George, fans were hyped—it was supposed to put them over the top. But fast forward, and the reality couldn't be more different. PG’s massive $212 million deal quickly turned into a nightmare, plagued by injuries and underwhelming performances. Now, the Sixers might already be looking to move on.

Meanwhile, the Clippers are breathing a sigh of relief after dodging this bullet, making smarter moves that might’ve just saved their season. Enter Quentin Grimes, Philly’s surprise standout who's been lighting it up on the court, giving fans something to cheer about amidst the chaos. And with former Sixer James Harden balling out elsewhere, you've got to wonder how did it all go so wrong for Philadelphia?

Lol when pg said that he was going to take a break from his podcast to focus on winning a championship, I was laughing in my head. Like how can you take pg seriously? He's way past his prime. PG is no longer the same player. It's pretty obvious that he's washed now.

Clippers really dodged the bullet letting PG13 go for free

Paul George also underperformed with the Clippers. He was never worth a max. The 76ers gave PG a huge contract on an impulse and are now stuck with him.

This season has mad me so happy I’m not a suns, sixers, or mavs fan 😭

There's a reason why Harden is a Top 75 player, he is a system, he could carry your team in the regular season easy, yes he couldn't get it done in the playoffs but that's why you have your best player Embiid. PG is a good player but he's just not a guy that could carry a team on his back.

GM’s and front office clowns have just been burning generational wealth on these bums these past few years. It’s absolutely absurd.

[TheKennyGM]

The fact that people think any team wants to pay 50M for a injured player until he's 38😅

[VinayakPande]

People shouldn't forget that Kawhi's demands is the reason why the Clippers gave away their future to get Paul George. A terrible deal.

That's why if I'm a Thunders fan I wouldn't complain if Oklahoma were to lose in the postseason. They are in a win-win situation either way. They still have a solid roster of young talent for years to come, their draft capital is through the roof, and if they want to push for a stronger unit they are capable of affording trades

Okc is easily s 70 win team if Chet played even half of the season, Chet missed 50+ games and okc was 2 games from that

Paul George is the biggest conman. He only plays well during contract season. After getting the max contract, he turns off. Just check his history.

Quentin Grimes - another player the Mavs had no idea how to value. Thank you Nico

[Blazingtoken]

76ers are cooked theyre gonna be stuck as a 1st-2nd round team that wont get over the hump.

[titoyeshon]

When I heard Paul George was moving out of LAC, I was mad at the front office thinking let just let him go for nothing. Knowing what he demanded, I agree that letting him go was warranted. Even before he gets himself injured again, more so now that the Clippers have gained crucial role players for their playoffs run.

[danieldominguez]

Im rooting for the 76ers to keep their pick man. Fuck that I don't want okc to have another young superstar

[rekthereaper]

NBA and the players are becoming a joke . They don’t even want to win anymore just collect the bag

[Jcald]

Ahh finally you catch me when I got sum food 🙌🏽😂

[omgwtfnvm_idc]

PG is over, I don’t even feel sorry for him anymore

[seanblackwood]

As a traumatized Mavericks fan I would like say these names for closure: L.Doncic - J.Bronson - Q.Grimes - D.J.J - J.Green. The only way this season could have went any worst was if we had somehow ended up with P.G. (I liked him Indi mind you)😅🥴🤕😁

[elbeantako]

Palmdale P was more interested in his podcast 🤣
