Certainly not enough of an upgrade to include Maxey.
Sixers hard no. Chicago would send Lavine immediately on a private jet.

Someone like Terance Davis, Josh Hart, or Terence Mann.

I mean, I guess the Sixers can stand pat and just accept the early playoff loss and try to make adjustments in the offseason when the prices should be more reasonable? However, wasting a year of your “stars” is not something they typically are happy about.
But maybe that doesn’t matter. Maybe you just cannot win a championship with Embiid and Harden as your top two and you have to rethink the whole thing. Morey has to see the Vegas odds and realize his internal calculations are off, he even alluded to that earlier this season.

If we're talking role players, there might be moves that help them at the margins... But honestly, I think there's enough playoff capable players on this roster where the supporting cast isn't going to cost you a series.
Either Jo, Harden, and to a lesser extent Maxey, have what it takes or they don't.
I don't love their odds, but it's not like they've no shot at all.
And I don't think there's a trade out there that's drastically changing that.

I would actually agree with this if we had a coach from this century. We have zero room for error, and having a guy like Rivers making crunch time decisions in the playoffs is a recipe for disaster.

I thought he was fine last year. I think I'd trust him more than Trez. He rebounds. He defends at a reasonably high level. Ok-ish screen/roll guy for Harden.

Harden Maxey Derozan Tucker Embiid has a legitimate championship ceiling compared to the roster as is with Tobias. I believe Derozan and Embiid can both work in the midrange with that core around them.
Melton + Caruso backup guard tandem is a nightmare defensively for other teams. Drummond as a legitimate playoff backup, with Harrell still there, needed for screen/rolling for Harden.
For the Bulls, Milton can be a legitimate 6 man and starter next to Lavine this season. Harris' contract can provide serious value next season expiring when picks are attached to go for a star. Reed and Thybulle are young, up and coming. Obviously the Eversley-Thybulle connection is there. Honestly the Bulls would be better now with the roster, while getting younger and gaining future assets.

I like this idea.
I would switch it up a bit, but I definitely feel there could be a deal with Chicago.
