Other teams will want him, and that will make the 76ers dig deep, It might be a short deal, maybe two years with the second at his option, but if Philly is going to contend for a title this coming season it needs to surround MVP Joel Embiid with elite talent.Kyrie Irving, DallasThis one will be interesting. Irving is one of the best players in the NBA. He also tends to be a challenge, and evidently got unhappy over time at his previous stops — Cleveland, Boston and Brooklyn. It seems unlikely that Irving will want a short-term deal, but there aren’t many teams that can afford him, either.Fred VanVleet, TorontoIf Houston doesn’t land Harden, maybe the Rockets take a swing at VanVleet and throw a ton of money his way. The Raptors need to decide on a direction; the next few days will show if the plan is to ...
