Flexibility, I believe. With Harden and Harris expiring, they could have close to two max spots next year, I think. The only way out of this mess is turn Harden into picks and expirings and hope to sign a max free agent and maybe trade for another high salaried player this offseason. I think that is the plan. A high salary for Maxey on the books, limits these plans.
There is a human element though as Maxey is a key player for them this year and he has seen some players from his draft class cash in big already.
