Agreed about Herro and (maybe) Maxey...I'd throw multiple picks at either of them...I like Simons as the safest bet, he shoots 3's like layups-so casual and quick, most significantly, might be readily available THIS summer.
I assume 76ers can't pay Maxey pass next year and won't have any financial ability to keep him longer term, so it makes sense for them to trade him today to find longer term options. Embiid forces them into "star chase" in summer, we could use adventage of it and "help" them facilitate trade.
Harden is walking. Next year, MAxey still on rookie deal and Harris is expiring. They absolutely can afford Maxey. Maxey is playing great, i dont see why they wouldnt. If they take picks for him, that could be interesting. very similar to Simons in play and size, but if Simons is gettable, he might be on a better contract than what Maxey might look for.
Is he walking is still up in air. From what i could figure ,he didn't like role that Rivers gave him, and now Rivers is gone.
He is 34 he might opted out to get longer deal, possiblly last contract of his career.
One thing i liked about Maxey is that he stays in his line. I never really felt , especially in playoffs, this and last year, that he is chasing numbers. Yet in both years he averaged 20 ppg on very high efficieny.
It would be foolish from 76ers POV to lose him, but it wouldn't be first time in past 5 years that 76ers act crazy. We kind a know that Butler left because in past 76ers had no established leadership, from coaches to players, and with Bryan Colangelo fiasco we know they lack stability on top as well.
