It was suspicious when Morey reneged on the agreement with Harden. Then they don’t give Maxey an extension. And no word on Harris or Melton.
Now they finally pull the trigger on the Harden trade, and instead of win-now talent like Norman Powell and Terrance Mann, they opt for FOUR power forwards all on expiring contracts and they get rid of PJ Tucker and Petrusev who both would have been on the payroll next year. They literally have nobody on contract for next summer except Embiid, Paul Reed, and Maxey’s qualifying offer.
I’m sorry, anyone who doesn’t think Embiid and Morey have already agreed to part ways next summer is fooling themselves.
I’m just here to say you might be right but also the 76ers could be adding these contracts+picks to match for a guard like Lavine to jump over easier.
That being said, it could go either way. Entirely depends on what happens with Embiid at this point tbh
