00:00We start right here. It didn't take long Sam for Paul George to make his free agent decision
00:04What is your reaction to him agreeing to a four-year max deal with the 76ers? I?
00:11Like it a lot for Philly Jim
00:13I just wrote a column about it this morning essentially trying to lay out the fact that
00:18While it is an imperfect Union if you will Paul's 34 years old
00:23212 million dollars is a lot. They're gonna be paying them around 60 million when he's 38 years old
00:29So it has risk on the back end
00:31But with Joel Embiid still the franchise centerpiece out in Philly and with Daryl Maury
00:36I think facing a proposition where you know
00:39You had Paul George as plan a and I don't know what the heck plan B was
00:43But it wasn't nearly as good as Paul George and deal done
00:46I do wonder kind of what would come next, you know
00:49Joel has been patient for a long time in Philly and I get it his own health history has been an issue
00:55But you go Jimmy Butler James Harden now Paul George, you know, they got him a co-star Tyrese Maxey obviously is a fantastic young player
01:03So I think they it was kind of mission accomplished for the Sixers
