I feel like Philly needs to build a team around Harden and Embiid. The 76's get shooting off the bench and get rid of the big Tobias contract. Johnson will start at the 3 and Finney Smith can start at the 4. I think Thybulle does not fit well with Harden and Embiid. Whiteside Dragic Gordon and Hardaway are great bench pieces Lineup: Maxey Harden Johnson Embiid Finney Smith. Bench Dragic Hardaway Gordon Neing Whiteside

Rockets: Rockets trade Gordon and Wood for Shake Milton and Harris. The key to get the deal done is the pick swaps. Hopefully the picks are top 10 by 2026 and Houston has picks outside the lottery. Wood will be a free agent after this year.

Spurs: Spurs trade Johnson for Thybulle and a 2nd. Gives Vassell more minutes to develop and grow. Thybulle seems like a Pop type of player.

Mavericks: Trade away two role players and get back Wood who can play PF or C. Also opens up cap space to sign Brunson Longterm.
