Sixers make a big move that they can also use to build around Macey and McCain if it fits not work out in the short term.

Houston adds a lot of draft capital that they can use to improve their roster and the remaining KJ years are team options so Houston frees up space for free agency/signing as well….

Run a starting unit of:

PG: Tyrese Maxey SG: Alex Caruso SF: Paul George PF: Miles Bridges C: Joel Embiid…

The Pelicans look to move off Brandon Ingrams salary ahead of his free agency and get a bunch of assets in return. They can use that space to target better guys around Zion, maybe they go get a couple shooters or upgrade at Center.

Meanwhile the sixers get their 3rd star and move off Tobias Harris….

PG: Tyrese Maxey SG: Dejounte Murray SF: Kyle Kuzma PF: Deni Avjida C: Joel Embiid…

Sixers target Mikal Bridges as everything they need in one and the guy that can help them knock out the Celtics and Bucks.

Sixers trade 3 1st round picks and a valuable pick swap with the Clippers in 2029 to the Nets along with several 2nds and players….

The Sixers make a move for a third option signed for the next several years to play with Embiid and Maxey. They pick up their backup PG and a ball handler off the bench that can keep the offense running with Maxey off the floor.

PG - Maxey / Jones SG - Melton / Beverley SF - Oubre / RoCo PF - Kuzma / Batum C - Embiid / Reed

Some might look at that like it's not a massive upgrade over Harris. However, you are getting a legitimate number 3 option that has been a number 3 on a championship squad. You are getting a guy that is more aggressive, and a much more willing shooter. He's known for being clutch. And the best part is the decreasing contract.

With the FA market limited in talent and so many teams trying to compete right now, good contracts are valuable. Kyle Kuzma's contract can allow them to go get a max player if they wanted. Otherwise they can stack some role players around them….
