Ranking possible trade pieces by the most value
[ad_1]
For the Philadelphia 76ers, the best way to improve this offseason is either through their own internal improvement or through the trade market.
At the moment, per HoopsHype, the Sixers have:
-
Non-taxpayer mid-level exception: $12,220,000 (could lose access to this if they go over the apron)
-
Bi-annual exception: $4,448,000 (could lose access to this if they go over the apron)
It is assumed that James Harden will opt out of his player option and then make a decision between either staying with the Sixers or rejoining the Houston Rockets where he had the most success in his career.

The man just won the MVP award and he led the league in scoring two years in a row. He has to be the guy the Sixers continue to build their team around.

The Chris Paul situation has complicated things for Philadelphia and Harden and there is a school of thought that maybe the Suns and the Sixers can just swap point guards in a sign-and-trade scenario.

Close to untouchable, but could be had for the right price tier: Tyrese Maxey
The Sixers are in contention to win a title. Therefore, if they have an opportunity to acquire a Damian Lillard or a Bradley Beal type of player, then Maxey will have to be on the…
