The Sixers are 4-1 as of this writing (they play the Wizards tonight, so let’s assume they’ll be 5-1 by the time you’re reading this), and last week they lifted the dark cloud over the organization (again) by finally executing a James Harden trade. More than the record and the del, though, what I’m encouraged by is the prospect of a freed Tyrese Maxey, operating with Joel Embiid as the dual engine of the offense.
