So if there is absolutely no way for Philly to make the dump with assets they have (they don't have a FRP to trade), they trade Maxey for a bunch of assets, keep most of them and use the rest to dump Harris.
Morey is not to be messed with imo. Sure, he has not built a team to a title, but he is always big game hunting and has a pretty good success at it. If Hardens leaves for Philly (Why would Houston want to max out Harden is another story), I fully expect him to be aggressive to move Harris. So they would have max cap room if they moved Harris for just cap room? I don't know if he targets Kyrie or someone like Grant or another FA. But if Harden leaves, I don't expect Morey to just try to piece together the team. They are under a lot of pressure as well.
BTW, Dallas front office better have a firm idea what Kyrie's yes number is and if he is committed to you. These conversations should have happened already and the conversations should be ongoing.
