Back again this year! Give me your wishes for the 2023-2024 season, and I’ll use the monkey’s paw to make them come true (sort of)

Harden is still mad at Moray. Leaves anyway, Sixers get nothing in return.
Harden wins FMVP. Embiid gets jealous. Demands a trade to the Knicks.
The next season, Tobias, Randle and RJ Barrett are Sixers starters.
You can do better.
Harden leads Philly to a chip, but Tobias Harris shows out as the FMVP. He subsequently gets another max contract.
Harris wins FMVP despite Harden being unquestionably the best player on the team after Embiid tears his Achilles in Game 1. Harris gets a max contract, Harden also re-signs for a max deal but steeply declines, Embiid is never the same player again after missing a season to rehab.
I would think the Sixers easily take this outcome.
