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.
You see reigning MVP (in his prime), budding start guard (potential superstar), two max type contract slots of cap space next year and a big named GM on the hot seat - and think they’re blowing it up?
