Paul George is unhappy with his team's arrangement and publicly complains about being tired of his current role. It seems that George has started causing trouble again before the end of this season, openly complaining about the role set for him by the team. Generally speaking, once such remarks unfavorable to team unity are made public, it usually means that the team is not far from disbanding. Here's what happened: in a recent game between the 76ers and the Pelicans, the 76ers lost to the Pelicans with a score of 115-123. In this game, Paul George played for 35 minutes, shooting 10 out of 22, including 5 out of 12 three-pointers, scoring 25 points and 11 rebounds. After this game, the 76ers ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference with a record of 15 wins and 21 losses. After the game, George was interviewed by reporters and frankly stated that he is tired of playing the five position in defense. George said, "I am used to running, chasing, and fighting through screens in defense. Honestly, I am tired of playing the five position; it's not enough for me. However, head coach Nick Nurse wants to see a style where I use my abilities to block the middle, cut off penetration and passing routes, and match up against big men. But I still prefer to match up against smaller players and wing offensive players." In summary, George believes he can do more. However, data doesn't lie, and George's performance this season has been mediocre! The 34-year-old George averages 16.5 points, 5.8 rebounds,…
