Score 30 points in 41 minutes, 170 million US dollars in 4 years! Maxi gradually becomes the boss of the 76ers. Should he consider leaving?

The new season of NBA preseason kicked off. Judging from the games in the past few days, there were many upsets, such as the Nuggets' unexpected loss in the entire lineup, missing Edwards + Randle + Conley's Timberwolves. Signing and strengthening this summer are only one aspect, the key lies in the team's running-in and chemical reaction. The competition in the West is particularly fierce in the new season, while in the East, only the Cavaliers and the Knicks are qualified to compete for the championship. The Celtics and the Pacers both have serious injuries and withdraw from the competition. The second-tier Magic, Pistons and Hawks are a little immature. As for other teams, I hope it is smaller. As a regular visitor to the top four in the Eastern Conference in the past few years, the 76ers have been getting worse day by day since Harden left, especially when George came to the team last season, two words were described: no rescue. In the Abu Dhabi game in the preseason, the 76ers played two consecutive games with the Knicks. It was expected that as the nominal boss of the 76ers, Embiid, the second George, still could not play; as for the third-year-old Maxi, the team played a total of 41 minutes in the two games, and scored a total of 30 points. But it is obvious that these two teams are not on the same level, and the 76ers lost a total of 24 points in two games! Maxi said these two sentences when talking about the new season: I have never experienced that underestimation in my career before, which has prompted me to grow into a better leader. Our goal in the new season is to rebound strongly! I am becoming more and more bold and bold. I have to find a way to solve the problems I see because I want to win and do things the right way. Then can Maxi get what he wants? Let’s talk about the other two “gods” first. Shortly after the training camp began, US media broke the news about Embiid one after another. In the words of a former 76-member staff member who has left, Embiid doesn't believe anyone and has never refused to reveal his injuries. If Nas says more to the media, Embiid will think it is a "betrayal" to him. Moreover, Embiid has always been dissatisfied with someone within the team who reported that Maxi was dissatisfied with his affairs in the locker room last season, and he was resentful, having a glassy physique and a glassy heart. Coach Nas couldn't help but reveal that Embiid completed quite a lot of training on Saturday when the training camp started. But immediately after Embiid responded: I will not play the game with injuries in the future, and my attendance is a bit unpredictable, so I will take it step by step.

, and Embiid made it clear that he was the core of the team, but he was willing to help young people grow. Another great god, George, was even more speechless. After undergoing arthroscopic surgery during the offseason, he gradually increased the intensity of his training, and his knees swelled in his calves. In his own words, his body was much better than last season! But when will the key issue come back? George: You can do everything except for complete confrontation training, but there is no comeback timetable! In addition, after Grimes signed the qualification quotation, he was no longer interested in 76ers; McCain, one of the cornerstones of the future, has torn his right thumb ligament, and is expected to be absent for at least one month, and Maxi is left to lead the team. The two big guys really can't count on him. Even if he returns, it's just closer to the next injury.

In the framework of the three talented talents, Maxi's future core + Edgecom + McCain, the team essentially cannot handle the burdensome contracts between Embiid and George! When Harden was still in the team, Rivers asked Old Man to give Maxi more ball to help Maxi grow. After Nas became the head coach of the 76ers, he asked Maxi to have a step each year. The task given to him last season was to ensure that he averaged at least 20 shots per game and try to score 30 points. But in front of Maxi are two teammates, Embiid and George. The common feature of these two is that the cooked ducks are only stubborn, Embiid cannot stay healthy, and George fell sharply after leaving the Clippers. But it is also true that these two people have no trading market at all, which will only hinder the growth of young people.

Embid has four years and 248 million max salary contracts left, and George has three years and 162 million US dollars. The fastest way is to wait until next summer to choose to delay the buyout of George's contracts totaling 110 million for the remaining two years. And what about Maxi? With 4 years left, 76ers were slow to deal with Maxi's contract renewal and were reluctant to get the maximum salary, but Maxi's growth is indeed visible to the naked eye. He can maintain an average of at least 25 points and 6 assists per game for two consecutive seasons. He took the initiative to train with Harden every offseason to improve his dominant ball ability. He averaged more than 3-pointers per game for two consecutive seasons. In addition to fighting a little bit, he already has the level of a first-line defender, and averaged 1.8 steals per game last season!

But Maxi is indeed not suitable to continue with the 76ers! After the general manager came to power, the 76ers made the team messy and deceived Harden, including giving Embiid a three-year, 193 million super maximum salary renewal and Paul George a four-year, 208 million maximum salary contract. Unless there is a deep hatred, a team general manager will not completely destroy the entire team. The team will not even lose the future, and the two burdens will drag down the growth of young people. Obviously, Maxi gradually showed his value, but at the 76ers, he had no future and it was really time to leave.
