Statistically there's been little falloff, you're probably going to get 22 and 6 for the next 2 years at pretty high efficiency. Definitely not a 1A but a #2 or #3 depending on the situation.
He's still effective going to the rim, but not pure iso's where he gets the ball, sizes up the D (which allows the D to get set as well), then try to beat his man and then 1 or 2 other guys at the rim. When he gets the ball off secondary action and drives quick, he is still really good at using his size and long arms to finish at the rim.
One of his big strengths right now is simply that he's going to be available, which is why he's going to get more than $30M per year. With Maxey's low cap hold, this is their one big chance to make a big acquisition that is going to set their table for the next 3-4 years. Ironically trading for Harden enables the Sixers to make a go at PG and will drive up his price. He is absolutely going to get no less money or years than Kawhi IMO for this reason, wherever he ends up. If Sixers can't pull a trade for someone else, Embiid/Maxey/PG would be a pretty damn good core.
This Kyrie got 3 year/126 Million extension form Mavs last season when he was 31 years old. 42 piece a year.
PG is 34 years old, clearly outplayed by him. If there are max offers for him, I would say it's agents talk.
Best option for Clippers, he take his 48,7 million option this year and get his extension like 2 year 70 million from his new team. Total makes approximately 3 year 120. Clips might get some thing for him in return like Cp3 to Houston deal in 2017. Everyone happy. Obviously this is a play If Sixers is the decoy, otherwise they are in delusion in making to Finals with him making around 50 per year.
