[Iverson Armband]

This trade works…

Sixers trade:
Tyrese Maxey
Tobias Harris
Rights to player selected at #23

Jazz trade:
Donovan Mitchell
Royce O’Neale

Do you do it?

Yes, definitely. I think quality veterans would be dying to come here on a discount to get a chance at a ring.

Man, Bobby Portis would then look great in this lineup:
Harden
Mitchell
O’Neale
Portis
Embiid

If not BP, get Chris Boucher and that’s a GREAT offseason.

Fall to my knees if we trade Maxey man, but that's a championship starting 5 and there still remains some longer termed sustainability with 25 year old Donovan Mitchell and Joel Embiid for at least the next half decade.

Deal.

You know Joe Ingles would sign for $35 dollars and a 12 pack of Carlton if we got Mitchell. Would replace the Tobias lockerroom presence and be a fine guy to have come off the bench.

I actually think Harden and Mitchell would be a very fun back court. I also don't think we would have completely blown that Miami series with Mitchell. We needed someone who can take over games, especially when Embiid can't, and Maxey isn't there yet. Mitchell has already had legendary playoff performances. If we can't get out of the second round with that team, then Doc is secretly poisoning our players.

Unless Mitchell demands a trade to the Sixers specifically, how the hell do we put the best trade package together? Doesn’t seem possible

I agree but my guess is that he’d give a list of 3-4 teams he’d be willing to go to & we’d need to win that bidding war. In theory, a team like OKC can outbid anyone with SGA + picks but I doubt Donovan would accept a trade like that quietly.

Maxey is probably the singular most valuable asset the Jazz could pry. Especially if it's between us, the Heat and the Knicks.

I agree, but I've seen some argue that they find Herro to be a better cornerstone than Maxey. Hopefully, in that scenario, Utah would see it our way too.

I think we'd have to take on Conley's money and add Thybulle to the deal as well.

Maxey/Thybulle/Harris/Green/#23 for Mitchell/Conley/O'Neale

Harden/Conley/Milton
Mitchell/Springer/Joe
O'Neale/Niang/Korkmaz
(MLE)/Reed/(Vet min)
Embiid/Bassey/Petrusev

That's the roster we should be going after.

Do you do it?

You have to do it. We're immediately elevated to ECF+ level with that move, and if Morey can upgrade the bench a little, the sky's the limit.

Would be an extremely tough argument to make when Herro has had two consecutive bunk playoffs in a row now, and Maxey was averaging over 20 on 60% TS while shooting six 3's a game.

Maxey is in a different conversation from Tyler Herro imo.

Not to mention that Herro was borderline unplayable against Boston because of how relentlessly they hunted him.

I’m sure most (if not all) will disagree…but I’m not sure Mitchell and O’Neal makes us any better than Maxey and Harris. The sixers problem isn’t guard scoring. But I also got killed for my opinion on not wanting to trade for Harden so I don’t expect any different here

If we can snag one of Bojan, Clarkson, Conley with O’Neal, Mitchell then it’s a haul.

Harden Mitchell Bojan O’Neal Embiid feels like the real deal w/ hopefully 3-4 contributors off the bench.

Comparing top 3 guys on EC contenders:
Embiid, Harden, Mitchell
Giannis, Jrue, Middleton
Butler, Bam, Herro/Beal (lol)
KD, Kyrie, Bum
Tatum, Brown, Smart


I like our core just as much if not more than any of these. Surround Embiid Harden Mitchell with rebounding, 3pt shooting, defending and we’re good.

[ProcessDoctor]

My biggest fear with Maxey is he's kind of the little brother at this point and I don't know if his "big brothers" will let him take the helm. He's arguably our best crunchtime and half-court scorer, but I question whether or not Harbiid will let him have those responsibilities.

Mitchell, on the other hand, has established himself as a #1 scorer in the playoffs and I think Harbiid will have an easier time letting him have the ball when it matters during the playoffs. Pure conjecture, but I don't know if Maxey will become who we need here.

[Arsenal]

It's a moot point because Jazz aren't trading Mitchell. Quinn Snyder left because he lost a power struggle w/Danny Ainge who wants to trade Gobert and build around Donovan.

So make your plans assuming Maxey is here. He's going nowhere.

Source? Seems feasible but I haven't read this anywhere.

Keep in mind the Kyrie to Boston trade when it comes to Mitchell trade packages. Kyrie was 25 at that time and Mitchell is 25 today. Key difference being Kyrie demanded a trade while Mitchell has not yet done so.

IT3 + Crowder + Zizic + 2018 BKN FRP for Kyrie

Call me crazy, but I'd rather have Maxey at under $3 million per for the next two seasons than Mitchell at $28 million next season and $30+ the following seasons. Sure, Mitchell is the better player right now, but who is to say that Maxey won't elevate his game next season and beyond?

Having Maxey on his rookie deal for 2 more seasons (our likely chip window) gives us far more flexibility to fill out the rest of the roster than trading for Mitchell does.

If I'm Morey, I roll with Maxey and look to trade Harris, Thybulle and/or one of our younger players for a 3 and D wing, bigger PF and more depth.

Yeah, I’m with you here, Maxey is just 21 y.o., and he averaged over 20 PPG in these playoffs and his TS was 61.0. Maxey was shooting light out from 3PT when we got Harden. 48% since February 24th, Harden’s first game.

After the season ended I wanted Beal, Lavine and Mitchell. But watching these Conference Finals and NBA Finals I think we need athletic guys that can defend around Embiid, Harden and Maxey.

We need Harden in shape, we need Embiid healthy and another year of Maxey improvement.

Get rid of weak Harris, Thybulle, Korkmaz and Milton.

I’d keep all of the Reed, Bassey, Springer, Joe, and #23 pick. But some of them Morey would have to use to trade Harris.
