Sixer fan here
Hayward doesn’t fit your timeline and is on an expiring. It seems to make sense to trade him instead of losing him for nothing in free agency.
Sixers need someone who can run pick and roll while Maxey is on the bench. How is his defense these days?
What’s your asking price for him? I don’t think the Sixers would give up a first round pick for him since he is expiring. Seconds and swap rights is the maximum I see along with expirings and maybe Jaden Springer who has potential but struggles to get minutes because of our wing depth
Hayward and Williams for AD.
