Use some common sense:
- 2 firsts, 2 seconds, pick swap is fantastic return
- Morey will trade these as assets, we aren’t waiting for a 2028 freshman. He’ll go after Lavine or somebody like that.
- Multiple expiring tradable contracts is great in what we got in return. This is less about the players and more about their contracts.
- You can’t complain about how bad Harden is then expect a fucking haul of a superstar. Harden will only be worse as he gets older (not to mention his terrible dribble for 16 seconds iso offense).
Just enjoy Maxey’s growth and be patient for Morey’s next move(s) at the deadline!
I’m an OKC/Harden/Russ guy and loved watching the Sixers last season despite the swings, definitely loved Embiid getting MVP. Still big on Harden. This is a great solution for everybody really. Just gotta see what OKC is getting for that high value frp
Embiid/Maxey/Harden wasn’t gonna cut it in the new East. Letting Embiid and Maxey cook is the move for now and flipping for a third star, if they can stay healthy, they have a chance
