Philadelphia 76ers depth chart after acquiring Paul George in 2024 NBA Free Agency

Paul George to the Philadelphia 76ers finally became a reality with the All-Star forward inking a four-year, $212 million deal with the franchise. George and LA the Clippers' contract talks broke down when the franchise refused to offer the 34-year-old a four-year deal.

The 76ers were linked to big names including four-time NBA champion Klay Thompson and Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen, but eventually landed George who ended his run as a Clipper after five seasons.

George is set to form an elite 'Big 3' alliance alongside franchise superstar Joel Embiid and rising star Tyrese Maxey. The 76ers have been perennial playoff contenders who have fallen short of achieving their objective to win an NBA championship. The addition of George will now see them have the services of one of the more proven wings in the league.

George was a key member of the Clippers last season, averaging 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game while shooting 41.3% from downtown. With James Harden facilitating plays, he linked up with Kawhi Leonard in the Clippers' frontcourt.

He will replace Tobias Harris who is expected to land with the Dallas Mavericks, Jazz, or the San Antonio Spurs.

Here's a quick look at the Philadelphia 76ers depth chart ahead of the 2024-25 NBA season with Paul George in the mix.

Philadelphia 76ers depth chart after acquiring Paul George in 2024 NBA Free Agency

Kelly Oubre Jr. inked a two-year, $16.3 million deal to remain with Philadelphia on Monday

The team also landed veteran Eric Gordon by getting him for a minimum deal. The former Sixth Man of the Year will now ply his trade in the East after suiting up for the Phoenix Suns, LA Clippers, and the Houston Rockets. He averaged 11.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 68 appearances for the Suns this past season.

Assuming Harris finds a new home, here's a look at what the 76ers could be like after Paul George links up with Embiid and Maxey to form the first unit.

Position	First Unit	Second Unit	Third Unit
PG	Tyrese Maxey	Cameron Payne	Jared McCain
SG	Eric Gordon	Paul George	Tyrese Maxey
SF	Kelly Oubre Jr.	Eric Gordon	KJ Martin
PF	Paul George	Paul Reed
C	Joel Embiid	Andre Drummond	Paul Reed

Gordon alongside vets Cameron Payne and Andre Drummond provides the much-needed depth for Philly this season. Lowry finds a spot as he is expected to re-sign amid trade rumors linking him to the Clippers and the New York Knicks. The Philadelphia native played 23 games for his hometown team with 20 starts and averaged 8.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists.

The addition of Paul George puts the 76ers as one of the Eastern Conference teams capable of competing with defending champs Boston Celtics, the Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Only time will tell if this new partnership can go the distance.
