Tyrese Maxey was all smiles Tuesday.
Sure, you would be too if someone handed you a five-year, $204 million contract at 23 years old, but we also know this is Maxey. That’s why his decision to trust Daryl Morey and wait on his max extension until now is not surprising.
“This offseason wouldn’t have been possible without him,” Morey said.
You ain’t kidding, Daryl.
Even beyond Maxey’s selfless decision to wait on an extension, his mere presence has kept Joel Embiid happy and attracted the biggest free agent on the market in Paul George.
Imagine the grim reality where the Sixers don’t have Maxey.
