… We could somehow turn Tobi and everything from the Harden trade (or swap some of those pieces with pieces we had) for both OG and Levine?

Would Maxey - Levine - OG - Someone (Roco/Batum/Oubre?)- Embiid + whatever is left of the bench be good enough?

Don’t focus on how it gets done (although I think the total value moved works). Just, if that was the “last big move”, do you think it would get us there?

    I consider Tobias Harris to be the better player than OG even at SF, so that’s a downgrade.

    I could see the argument that it’s a downgrade from 3rd option Tobi, but I’m assuming Morey wants to make a trade that would make Tobi option 4 again (unless it sends him out). Is 4th option Tobi better than OG, when their offensive output is similar, but OG is a better defender and a natural 4th option (although supposedly he doesn’t think that)?

    Now, overall, I believe there are other moves that you can make that build a better team. I’d try and target players with cap hits beyond this year that allow you to fit them and Tobias Harris.

    I don’t necessarily disagree with this. But I’m trying to think like Daryl, which means I, Daryl Morey, want a bigger star than Tobi, whether that costs me Tobi or moves him back down the pecking order.
