Paul George expected to be Sixers' top target this summer
What is the cap situation in the offseason? Is there room to do anything significant? —@brooklyndude70 Keith Pompey: Thanks for the question, Monix. Yes, the Sixers have plenty of room to make a significant move. And they intend to do just that. Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George is expected to be their top target if declines his $48.8 million player option with L.A. for next season.

The LA Clippers will not have Kawhi Leonard guard Brice Sensabaugh for tomorrow’s game vs Utah Jazz
They may have James Harden bring the ball up against Keyonte George, as he is questionable
Paul George will be available to possibly shoot against Taylor Hendricks
Primo is out – 8:01 PM

More on this storyline
The Lakers might have some leverage over LeBron James. How many teams will have almost $50 million in cap room to max James out at $157.5 million over three seasons? The most obvious answer might be Philadelphia, but most NBA sources believe the 76ers are targeting Paul George. If George re-signs with the L.A. Clippers, the Sixers could give James an alternative. -via Bleacher Report / April 11, 2024
Ohm Youngmisuk: Clippers list Kawhi Leonard (right knee inflammation), Paul George (left knee soreness) and James Harden (right foot inflammation) as out tonight in second of back to back against Phoenix. Russell Westbrook (left hand contusion) and Ivica Zubac (left ankle) are questionable. -via Twitter @NotoriousOHM / April 10, 2024
Andrew Lopez: With five 3s last night, CJ McCollum became the 21st player to hit 500 3s w/ two different teams. He has 500 w/ the Pels and 1,297 w/ the Blazers. He joins Paul George (three teams), LeBron James, Wesley Matthews & Buddy Hield as active players to do so. (h/t @EliasSports) -via Twitter @_Andrew_Lopez / April 10, 2024
