Tyrese Maxey gets his first 50 pointer. Thanks again to Mike Muscala.

You have to explain it further for me :why:



How did Muscula allow them to get Maxey?

Sixers had the Thunder's 1st round pick in 2020, but it was top 20 protected. Last day of the 2020 season (the bubble season), Thunder were sitting in the 20th spot. Muscala hit a game winning three that day to move the Thunder from 20th to 21st, sending the pick to the Sixers. Sixers draft Maxey 21st in the 2020 draft.

I know the Sixers had to wait until the offseason to sign Maxey so they could free up the third max salary slot, but how much of a difference would his deal have been if he got one before the season as opposed to what he's going to get now in the offseason?

If I understand this Forbes article correctly

The Sixers are allowed to offer Maxey a five-year extension starting at 25% of the 2024-25 salary cap with 8% annual raises, while other suitors are limited to a four-year deal at the same starting point with 5% annual raises. The Sixers could also start his extension at 30% of the 2024-25 cap if he's named Most Valuable Player, Defensive Player of the Year or to an All-NBA team this coming season.

He'll get paid more next summer vs. what he would have gotten this past summer...it will be 5 years instead of 4.

Halliburton got 5 year/260million this summer. Maxey gets something similar next summer, likely more.

Also, Doc Rivers had Maxey on the bench for 19 games last season and had the nerve to say it was Maxey's idea. Fukk Doc Rivers forever.
Hell, I think he should get more hate for going away from Maxey in the Hawks playoff series, even though breh showed he had big game chops in those limited minutes. Even looked good defending Trae. Will never understand him selling the entire series trying to placate Simmons’s ego in game 7
