Cleveland: S&T Okoro 3/36 and Niang

Philly: S&T Tobias Harris 3/69

Tobias Harris likely wore out his welcome in Philly. In this trade Philly gets there guy Niang back and Okoro can either be a primary defender at SG to allow George and Maxey initiate offense.

Philly will have to waive his cap hold to sign PG. So this would be out. If PG doesn't sign there, they are very unlikely to pivot to Okoro/Niang.

This feels like a deal that takes Cleveland into consideration but not Philly really at all.

Philly is going to save that money for PG. Then Maxey gets his money. They can't really do anything like this. They'd get hardcapped

Philly is looking to cut money for george I don’t see them adding these contracts

Philly only had to waive 3/5 of 5 capholds between Harris, Batum, Melton, Hield, and Covington. I’d be surprised if they waived Harris’s given he has the most value especially in a S&T

The premise of the trade would be after George is signed obviously

Niang back to Philly for a TPE? lol

They can maybe play with the timing of Maxey's new contract, but I think using the MLE like that might put them into apron territory.
