Philly choose Harris over Butler. They didn't think Butler was a max player any longer with his injuries and missing games. The only reason he ended up on the Heat was they were willing to offer him a max salary. If Philly would have made the same offer he would be in Philly today.
In the Kyrie situation I don't see them not meeting his demands or beating what ever he is offered in FA.
