The competition in the NBA Eastern Division is not too fierce, and the current situation is that the Celtics are dominant, and the Knicks are also very strong. But let's not just focus on the teams that have qualified, but also on some teams that have been beaten in the first round, I think the future of the Philadelphia 76ers is relatively bright, they have the regular season MVP Embiid, they also have the inspirational kid Maxey, and they have some quality role players, if it weren't for the injury problem, I think the Philadelphia 76ers could cause a lot of problems for the Knicks.

Today's protagonist is Maxey, the second leader of the Philadelphia 76ers, let's talk about it together.

We all know that now Maxey is facing a contract extension problem, and in the middle of the season, Maxey rejected the Philadelphia 76ers' offer of $180 million over four years, and he wants more. I have to say that the 23-year-old has a really high heart and wants a bigger contract, and I even think he might ask for a super cap salary like Brown, which could be as high as $260 million over five years.

So does Maxi deserve such a max contract? In my opinion, if Maxey keeps up the same performance as he did in this year's playoffs, it will definitely be worth it. He averaged 29.8 points + 6.8 assists + 3.2 rebounds + 0.8 steals per game in the playoffs, and as a small guard, he shot 47.8% from the field, which is already very good. Let's analyze Maxi's offensive and defensive strengths.

Offensively, Maxey's 3-pointers are accurate, and he averaged 3.7 shots per game in the playoffs, shooting 40% from the field, and surpassing 40% in all positions except for the inaccurate 3-pointers at the top of the arc. Maxey is a shot with and without the ball, with a particularly well-rounded offense and good physical strength, averaging 44.5 minutes per game, ranking first in the league. He is also a breakthrough attacker, very good control skills, large disguised amplitude, quick first step, and very good at using blocking and pick-and-roll to play the ball, and the finishing efficiency of the civil war is also very high, and after Harden left, he also practiced a hand passing. The disadvantage is that he is still too slow to go out now, and he seems a little overwhelmed in the face of the opponent's bag, and his shooting hand will change after encountering a strong confrontation. Overall, Maxey is a big killer on the offensive end.

Defensively, although Maxey is very motivated, his defensive alertness and skill are obviously insufficient, he often appears helpless on the court, and frequently overlaps with his teammates' defensive positions, resulting in frequent defensive holes, which need to rely on Embiid, Batum and others to make up for it. To make matters worse, he often gets into foul trouble for unnecessary movements, and his one-on-one defensive ability is mediocre. However, we can't deny some of Maxey's bright spots on the defensive end, as well as his ability to impact rebounds and his decent performance against off-ball players. But overall, he's better suited to keeping an eye on the opposition's offensive rookies, and the defensive effect is not as good against the attacking elite.

Now Maxey is only 23 years old, he is at the peak of his career for the next five years, and he is better than the team's boss Embiid in the playoffs this year, why is it not worth 260 million in five years? At the very least, he's better than Brown and better than Haliburton, and these are players with super max salaries, and we can't take it for granted that Maxey doesn't deserve a super max salary just because he's a second-in-command, a low-pick drafter. In this year's playoffs, if it weren't for Maxey's supernatural play, the Knicks might have swept the 76ers, such a young man who doesn't possess the ball and still works hard with 10 points in training is really worth a super top salary.

All in all, Maxey may not be the big core like Edwards and Doncic, but he will definitely do everything in his power to help the Philadelphia 76ers win the championship, and he is a very reliable second-in-command, more individual than Brown.

We also have to say that Harden's presence with the Philadelphia 76ers is indeed a constraint on Maxey's development. As soon as Harden left, Maxey's stats rose sharply, his organizational skills also improved, he became an All-Star level star, and he is also likely to be selected to the best team this year.
