Brooklyn Nets Receive: F Tobias Harris, G Tyrese Maxey

Philadelphia 76ers Receive: G Kyrie Irving

Here, we arrive at the very best deal the Nets could make for Irving this summer. If they can land Maxey for Irving, they shouldn’t hesitate to do so.

Of course, this may not be realistic. There’s a chance the Sixers hang up the phone as soon as they hear the name “Maxey”. With the young guard emerging as a potential star, they couldn’t be blamed.

At the same time, if anybody loves established stars, it’s Sixers GM Daryl Morey. Could he really resist reuniting Harden and Irving?

In fact, it’s surprising that Irving even had the Sixers on his list. Given the fallout in Brooklyn following his pairing with Harden, one would think he’d avoided the Bearded superstar.

Remember what we said about Irving and chaos. Predicting his motives or behavior is a fool’s errand. For that reason, the SIxers would probably be wise to pass on that deal. Still, it’s definitely the best one they could offer the Nets if they were interested.
