Still in the very early stages of the offseason, the Philadelphia 76ers have been tied to a handful of players in rumors.

Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George has a lot to consider this summer. There are currently three directions the star wing could go. With a player option looming, George can earn nearly $50 million in salary for next season by simply opting in and confirming he would play with the Clippers next season.
