Why It Makes Perfect Sense For Philadelphia 76ers
With this deal, the Philadelphia 76ers complete “The Process”. The end result is one of the best Big 3s in the National Basketball Association. It sounds like a process other teams will try to replicate.
Of course, some would argue they already have a Big 3. Tyrese Maxey is no small price to pay here. He’s a Most Improved Player candidate. It’s hard to pinpoint his ceiling in his league.
The Sixers can’t get squeamish. Bradley Beal is one of the best pure scorers in the NBA. He’s also a veteran the team can rely on in clutch moments. Maxey may establish himself as similarly reliable this postseason. We’re assuming this deal doesn’t come to fruition unless Philly falls well short of a title.
Shedding Tobias Harris’ contract also hold value for the Sixers. When he signed his $37.6 million dollars a year contract, he looked like one of the best stretch forwards in the NBA. Unfortunately, his inconsistent shooting since signing has left him closer to average.

The Washington Wizards shouldn’t care. They’re eating his contract for the sake of acquiring Maxey. If he lives up to his enormous potential, they won’t think twice about that decision.
