Daily News | With enough on their minds, the Sixers also need to address Tyrese Maxey’s contract status
Very few people in Philadelphia are talking about Tyrese Maxey’s contract situation. And that’s understandable with everything else going on.as their new head coach on Thursday. James Harden’s intention to opt out of his contract and become a free agent this summer is another hot topic. The Sixers are also busy relaying that they’re not going to trade Joel Embiid under any circumstance.
So they have some time before making a decision. But it might be in the best interests of managing partner Josh Harris and president of basketball operations Daryl Morey to lock up Maxey sooner rather than later. The NBA’s media rights deal will expire following the 2024-25 campaign and the league’s salary cap is expected to increase in each of the next few years.

They could prefer to take a short-term deal — say for two or three seasons — to put them in position to make more money later on with the new TV contract.The 22-year-old averaged a career-high 20.
Given an opportunity to be a No. 1 option in a favorable system, Maxey could duplicate the success that Mikal Bridges had with the Brooklyn Nets.
