Speaking as a Sixers fan.
Would love to get him! Didn't love getting Harden or many of the other moves over the years. For most trades in the NBA, they don't help as much as they seem on paper, mainly because the fit of stars with each other is very under-rated.
To me, Liliard is the best possible fit for the Sixers over any other player. . a scoring guard who can shoot, get to the basket, break anybody down one on one, and most importantly CLOSE GAMES!
Liliard is not a great all around player like Lebron, Kawaii etc so his price tag is hefty at $60m or whatever. He isn't young either (32) , but about as healthy and fresh of a 32 year old he could ask for. The other parts of his game, like defense are things the Sixers are already good at and can cover up.
Embiid has a few more peak seasons as does Lillard, worry about the rest of the roster after.
Love Maxey, fun to watch, great personality but he is not a star, he can't break anybody down one on one. Also not a great passer. Just a good shooter and great on the break and can get to the hoop if given a straight line, has no wiggle. Great personality and vibe too.
Not saying Sixers are best situation for Lillard, but I think it's decent. Hope the find a way to get it done.
I'll take my chances with Nurse, Embiid, Lillard!!!
Doc was trash, Harden way overrated numbers compiler, although he defense this past playoffs was surprising good and he got no credit for that.

He would definitely be an upgrade over today's James Harden
