US media revealed: The 76ers are negotiating a deal with the Jazz Paul George & the Tanhua lottery and the No. 5 lottery are exchanged

On June 19, an NBA Jazz reporter revealed that the 76ers management is actively promoting Paul George's deal. The management of the two sides has conducted the first round of communication and negotiation, and the two teams exchanged the 3rd draw and the No. 5 draw in each other this year. The 2025 summer draft will begin soon. The Jazz have the No. 5 draw this year and the 76ers have the Tanhua draw. Both sides mainly focus on their respective draft draw transactions, but the Sixers management hopes that Paul George can be involved in the deal and hopes that the Jazz will take over its remaining three-year, $162.4 million contract.

35-year-old Paul George played for the 76ers in the 2024-2025 season and played as a striker. He played in a total of 41 games in the regular season due to injuries, averaged 32.6 minutes per game, scored 16.2 points + 5.3 rebounds + 4.3 assists + 1.8 steals + 0.5 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 42.0%, a three-point shooting percentage of 35.0%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 81.0%.

Last summer, Paul George chose to leave the Clippers and joined the 76ers with a four-year, $212 million maximum salary contract to form the championship three majors with Embiid and Maxi. But in just one season, he was selected for the list of the most disappointing players in the regular season due to injuries and insufficient core leadership, and was completely lost by the 76ers. This offseason has begun to look for opportunities to trade and send them away.
