Tom Alvord hosts this edition of Fanatic Weekend. Tom’s joined by Kevin Cooney for the first hour of the show, where the two of them examine the 76ers offseason and look ahead to the Phillies vs Marlins game.
Then Tom anticipates whether or not Paul George will opt-in or out of his contract with the Clippers. Tom and Josh discuss what would be the worst path for the 76ers this offseason. Just moments later, the breaking news comes in, Paul George declines his player option with the LA Clippers.
Callers react and Tom is joined by Dave Early of Liberty Ballers to dive deeper into Paul George’s potential fit with the 76ers, what the chances are the Sixers land George, and what else the 76ers can do if they do in-fact sign Paul George.
For the remainder of the show Tom discusses the likelihood of signing Paul George and if he will sign with Philadelphia. Also, if George makes $50 million, what pieces can go around him? Where do the 76ers rank in the east if they do sign George?
The Phillies lose 3-2 to the Marlins. Tom reacts to a lackluster offense and we hear from Rob Thomson.
