Tyrese Maxey is just 21-years-old, but he is certainly handling these offseason trade rumors with maturity.
The Philadelphia 76ers guard, whose name has been floated around in potential long shot trade rumors involving Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant, responded to a video of an eight-year-old boy crying over the thought of Maxey leaving Philly.
The Sixers are one of many teams involved in Durant trade rumors, as the Nets are reportedly hoping for a historic package for the all-time great player who has reportedly requested a trade.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski believes Brooklyn is searching for a massive haul—something like five first-round picks and an All-Star level player for Durant, who reportedly wants to play for the Miami Heat or Phoenix Suns.
Maxey is certainly a valuable piece with All-Star upside, but it would seem the Sixers likely do not have enough valuable assets to add to Maxey to create a worthwhile package for KD.
