Los Angeles Lakers Receive: F Tobias Harris, G Tyrese Maxey, 2024 First-Round Pick (PHI), 2026 First-Round Pick (PHI)
Philadelphia 76ers Receive: F LeBron James

If any general manager is likely to trade an emerging star for an established one, it’s probably the Philadelphia 76ers’ Darryl Morey.

Morey is a known star chaser. His propensity to pursue the league’s finest nearly earned him a championship in Houston. It may yet earn him one in Philadelphia.

If it does, this trade won’t happen. Moving the emerging Maxey to land a 37-year-old isn’t just bold: it verges on insane. On the other hand, if the 76ers fall short of the ultimate prize this season, who knows what Morey might do to land a third star.

The Lakers get an opportunity to reset here. Maxey is unlikely to be the league’s next LeBron James, but he does have star potential. His averages of 17.5 points and 4.3 assists per game put him squarely in the running for Most Improved Player this season.
