If you wait around for the perfect fit you will piss away one of the all time greats’ career (if you haven’t already).
In the NBA you need a star player to become available, want to play for you, and have the cap space/flexibility to accommodate them. And preferably you’d like them to compliment the skill sets of your star(s) on the court. All of those windows have to align. Philly is not a destination city. They were almost never going to get the healthy star in his 20s.
And as Jojo pointed out they didn’t have to move their trade assets to get this player. That’s big for completing the roster in the future.
