Looks like the start of another great season for Maxey, who is fast becoming the only bit of good news for a Sixers locker room in flux.

But I do wonder, can Maxey be more than that? Maybe he can be the franchise player that the Sixers need for a fresh start? And if that question is valid, can we go further and say: might as well get the most out of an Embiid trade and start the Maxey process asap

Basically am just curious about how the fans rate Maxey. Is he a real deal like Ant, or just another young all star in the making?

    These second option players all look like world beaters until they become the first option. Look at what happened to brown when tatum got injured last playoff… it is easy for maxey to go off when embiid gets all of the attention and opponents gameplan for him

      This 100%.

      You get a hell of a lot more freedom on the court when defenses can’t collapse on you without the fear of Embiid then being wide open for an easy bucket.

        Can’t they just say like: hey guys Tyrese is our first option.

        Then have teams have attentions and gameplan for him and have Embiid wide open and shit.

            My dream is for embiid to cut back on shots and scoring a good bit and focus on defense for the playoffs but we don’t have the depth and roster for that
