A 10-time Elite player and the association's prevailing helps champion, Solidify became openly embittered with Morey — his long-lasting supporter and the group's ebb and flow leader of b-ball tasks — and the Sixers during the offseason. The 34-year-old requested to be exchanged, with the Trimmers filling in as the two his supposed objective and the main detailed admirer for his gifts.
Solidify's takeoff denotes the most recent improvement during the 76ers' endeavors to encompass ruling Kia MVP Joel Embiid with sufficient and willing ability to propel past the Eastern Meeting elimination rounds interestingly starting around 2001. The Sixers obtained Solidify in 2022 in return for a comparatively discontent previous Top pick in Ben Simmons.
Nonetheless, wounds and shoddy season finisher exhibitions saw Solidify neglect to bring the forward leap for which Philadelphia had trusted. Confronting the choice of free organization this mid year, Solidify rather got his player choice for the 2023-24 season.
He followed that up by openly calling Morey — his senior supervisor during his pinnacle a very long time in Houston and presently the 76ers' leader of ball tasks — a "liar" after an exchange was not at first found that Philadelphia would concur upon.

The previous MVP still couldn't seem to play this season subsequent to unaccounted for parts of instructional course. Solidify was then approached to increase his molding before formally rejoining the group, with Medical caretaker telling journalists on Sunday that he expected Solidify to rehearse with the group on Halloween before Thursday's down against Toronto.
All things considered, Philadelphia will presently completely go to 22-year-privileged Tyrese Maxey to act as the No. 2 ability Philadelphia needs close to Embiid. Maxey is averaging 30.3 focuses, 6.7 bounce back and 6.3 helps through the initial three rounds of the time.
The Trimmers, in the mean time, get a fourth veteran star name to bunch with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Russell Westbrook. Solidify played his initial three seasons with Westbrook in Oklahoma City prior to collaborating with him again momentarily in Houston.
Wounds to Leonard and George, as well as the requirement for another floor-setting monitor close by them, delivered the Trimmers' craving to bring Solidify to L.A. The establishment is expecting to, to say the least, match its group record Western Gathering finals run from 2021 preceding moving to another field in Inglewood for 2024-25
