The Philadelphia Sixers thought they were the real winners of the Paul George free agency sweepstakes last summer after the Clippers didn't offer him the contract he wanted, but little did they know, LA actually won. The version of George that played for the Sixers last season was the opposite of the one who played 72 games for the Clippers the season before.
It would've benefitted Philly if George stayed in Los Angeles, re-upping his deal like Kawhi Leonard.
There is a problem with that, though. On his podcast, "Pablo Torre Finds out," Torre detailed a way in which the Clippers used an endorsement deal with an environmental company, Aspiration, to circumvent the salary cap for Kawhi.
