This just feels like where the current trade noise around Lillard and Harden will settle. Harden wants the Clippers, Morey wants an all star back despite Harden losing value by the minute, and the whole Lillard/Miami thing seems like kryptonite the NBA wants to sidestep this time if it can.

Sixers probably hate this the most. They want Lillard, but in no way do they want to give up Maxey. With what Harden is doing to his value, it may be impossible to do one without the other. Flipping Harden into Lillard is well worth it though, especially with vets like Powell and Morris coming back as well who better fit the current title window. If they're really down to their last shot at pushing for a title to keep Emblid happy, this is worth doing.

Clippers want Harden, but don't want to give up George or Leonard. Understandable, but this will severely deplete their bench strength. That said, if Lue can get these three healthy, bought in, and pushing for a title in LA. They could be very tough to beat.

Blazer fans will likely say this isn't enough for Dame. I tried to use the Mitchell deal as a template (3 1sts + 2 swaps in picks, 2 role players + a lotto rookie in player value). Maxey is the crown jewel here with Zubac providing an upgrade to Nurkic and Mann as a valuable role player as well. They also get 3 1sts and 2 swaps from these teams that should be ending their competitive cycle at the end of the decade.
