76ers' Maxey delayed contract extension, allowing team to sign key players.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey's decision to delay signing a contract extension last year enabled the team to preserve cap space and sign Paul George, Caleb Martin, Eric Gordon, Andre Drummond, and Reggie Jackson. Maxey's patience allowed the Sixers to form a strong supporting cast around Joel Embiid and himself. The 76ers' front office thanked Maxey for his selflessness, and Maxey later signed a five-year, $204 million max extension.
