Sixers next year need to be a salary dump roster. I'm not an expert on how it works, but sign whoever helps them take on bad contracts to gain draft choices.
Unfortunately private equity ownership means they need an ROI, and they have already gone through one Process. They will be signing Harris, Heild, Maxey and whoever else helps them sell tickets by being a play-in team.

Solid idea, but there aren't many players left who their team would pay to dump.

However even if there were... a team with Embiid cannot essentially try and tank. Dude is too good, and they don't own their pick as it is anyway (unless they were horrible, but again Jo himself prevents that).
