[Aaronson] This is a fun one. Sixers free agents: Harden (player option) Niang House Jr. (PO) Harrell (PO) Milton McDaniels Reed (restricted free agent) Dedmon IMO, most likely to return is either Niang or McDaniels. Least likely, other than Dedmon and Harrell, is Shake Milton, IMO

I’ll take McDaniels, Reed and no one else
One day Tobias Harris will be on this list and I will be glad.
Shake deserves a payday and minutes, FA class is weak this summer so seems like we’d get outbid. Same with Niang because he’s worth it when his shots falling, someone will overlook the defensive risk.
Definitely should prioritize keeping McDaniels and Reed as a bench energy combo. House won’t risk turning down his PO unless Harden walks and really wants him to come along for some reason.
No way Trez turns down his PO but maybe he’d get mad enough about losing his minutes to want to risk FA again.
Gotta resign B Ball Paul. He is legitimately elite at getting offensive rebounds and loose balls and despite his flaws, is the best backup Embiid’s had except maybe Drummond.
I’m annoyed Shake will walk for nothing. I felt like we could’ve gotten a 2nd for someone but at the same time I don’t want to resign him.
Isn’t niang getting paid like 2m? I must be gullible but hell, give me everyone on that list minus Harrell and Dedmon lol
Shake is decent but very replaceable. I’m not losing any sleep if he walks.
Harden most important. After him I’d prioritize Reed, Mcdaniels and Niang in that order. Shake just doesn’t seem possible it’s gonna suck to see him leave
Get back Harden Mcdaniels and Reed and we’re good
Give Harden the max, and do your best to keep McDaniels, Reed, and Niang in that order.
Our realistic price tag for Shake is something between $6-$8 million annually. If someone offers more than that he probably walks
Harden and McDaniels. Everyone else can go.
