How many teams that have never gotten out of the 2nd round go on to win the Finals?

Idk but I’d be really curious

Paul George's health is the only thing I'd be worried about. At his age. But he's coming off a healthy year.
Prior to last season, though, he only played 56, 31, 54 and 48 games the previous four years. We'll see...
I just feel like the Clippers would've easily paid him that big money if they believed he was still dependable.

Health is always gonna be a worry.

But

You gotta take the risk. Embiid's prime is now. You can't waste it holding back. They're essentially swapping Tobias Harris out for Paul George....yeah, we're taking that.

You're right. It's just making me feel really nervous for when the Suns decide to blow it up, either in a couple years or sooner, and the Rockets end up overpaying for an aging Kevin Durant. You do it to win an NBA Title and the 76ers still have that window to win right now. You have to go for it while you can.

It can always blow up in your face with injury. What were their other realistic options? The fit is perfect, and they didn't need to trade future picks / players to acquire him

This move allows them to go for it now, while not giving up their future. I don't know what better (and realistic) move there was out there for the Sixers to make
