-- get several quality contributors for the vet minimum,
-- draft guys who can contribute on day one with 1 FRP and a couple 2nds (he'll probably have to look in the draft at high floor, low ceiling guys who spent 3-4 years in college, with Jaime Jaquez as the prototype),
-- and still hit on his major signings.
It's a serious task he has ahead of him.

.063 win shares per 48 this season (down from career .067 for his career)
-7.9 on/off plus minus this season (down from career -4.1 for his career)
This dude legitimately sucks and there's a strong case that he's having his worse season of his career. Resigning him would be outright nonsensical IMO.

Any other HUGE usage player beyond Embiid/Maxey could cause diminishing returns.
Maxey and Embiid and more than enough scoring. I think we'd be better served by just surrounding them with positive impact role players like Grayson Allen, etc.

Yes, the league is moving away from relying on a third star, but we must consider the inconsistency of Embiid and the significant role he plays on our team.
And thats probably why Morey is going after a third star.
As long as Embiid is part of our team, we require a third star or at least someone who can effectively run the two-man game with Maxey, forcing the defense to send help and create open looks for shooters. Until then, paying a premium for shooters like Hield (or Grayson) doesn't make sense.
Alternatively, we could consider replacing Maxey with a player who can single-handedly create open looks for teammates and distribute the ball effectively (i.e Mitchell).

Celtics. So we would know what we should tweak in the offseason

I don't want to act like it's some franchise altering trade that screwed the Sixers for all eternity, but for a "top 5 GM" you'd be hard pressed to find a more blah and mediocre resume of moves with the Sixers than his moves.

To lose to the Celtics in the 1st round you'd also have to lose to the Heat in the play in.
#2 feels like the obvious preference (you'd at least beat the Heat in that one).
Although if we take this as a trick question, you could pick lose the Heat, and then have them go on a run after
