With the news from ESPN’s Shams Charania that Giannis Antetokounmpo is set to evaluate his future with the Milwaukee Bucks, the Philadelphia 76ers could be perfectly positioned to get Tyrese Maxey a co-star. Not only would this put an end to the Joel Embiid era, which netted zero conference finals appearances, but it would also allow the Sixers to go all-in on Maxey as their leader—a realization they have needed to come to for a while now.
Maxey has been the best player on the Sixers for years now—the best ability is availability, as they say.
