Paul George making this list means something to me. He's still a certified bucket.
Also, for anyone curious, if Embiid played the 40 game cutoff here, he would've ranked 1st at 124.1 ORTG. In fact, even his MVP season ('22-'23) would've put him first on this list at 124 ORTG. Embiid also led the NBA playoffs this year in ORTG at 124.1.
Needless to say, Embiid is the best offensive force in basketball and we have surrounded him with two other elite offensive forces.

PG just has to defend at an above average level, knockdown 40% on 8 attempts from 3 and gimme 21 a game and I’m chillen
While I’m here doing propaganda for our players, let’s also look at what Morey has done for us.
He inherited a team with 2 all-stars, 2 *albotross* contracts, shitty depth, and very little draft captial.
We now have ***3*** all-stars, better contracts, way better depth, and way more draft captial. Morey has been able to pivot successfully at every inflection point:
– Simmons (holdout) + 2 firsts <—-> Harden
– Harden (holdout) <—–> expirings + 2½ firsts + Martin Jr
– Sign PG with cap space
So, not only are we *currently* positioned better than we have been in over 5 years, but Morey has positioned us so that the Harden trade will *still* be paying dividends this season, with KJs balloon deal and the draft captial we still have
Morey had all of this shit mapped out as soon as Harden opted in to request a trade, all the way down to the KJ balloon deal.
Prichard MVP confirmed.
It’s no doubt in my mind that we win the Knicks series last year, the Celtics series in 2023 and the Atlanta series in 2021 if Tobias Harris is not the 3rd option (on paper). Fuck, I was screaming for an undrafted rookie to play over Tobi last postseason.
PG is such a clear upgrade it’s not even funny
