Paul George arrived at Philadelphia 76ers in the summer because the Los Angeles Clippers did not want to give him the maximum. In this way, he managed to get more than 200 million dollars from the Pennsylvania team in exchange for 4 years. It's crazy considering that he will turn 35 in May and has had several very inconsistent seasons.
The Sixers' season as a whole is being lamentable, especially due to Joel Embiid's poor physical condition, but PG isn't helping his new team avoid being one of the worst teams in the league. So, even though he's barely moving on the court at the moment, at least publicly he wants to show more commitment and will put his podcast on hold for a while. It's hard to see him comment on the NBA, other teams, and teammates while he and his squad are struggling.
Here are his words on the matter:
"It was mainly to focus here. I haven't been in my best health, so it's about working hard to get my body as healthy as possible and focusing on being here, trying to change things and fully concentrating on uniting this team."
"But we have to give ourselves a chance. Taking it game by game, but giving ourselves a chance to see what we can do in the final stretch."
"It was something that was on my mind because I'm new in the city, I'm acclimating to Philadelphia. There came a point where I thought, 'Okay, it's time to take a step back for a moment.'
"We haven't shown signs of being a competitive team. We simply don't have the habits that a championship team or playoff contender should have. To be honest, at this moment, it seems quite distant."
