Twitter was just settling down for the evening, when news from Shams Charania and Adrian Wojnarowski struck like a lightning bolt: a massive, blockbuster trade between the Sixers and the Clippers. The Clippers sent Tobias Harris, Mike Scott, and Boban Marjanovic to Philly, receiving Wilson Chandler, Mike Muscala, Landry Shamet, the Sixers 2020 1st round pick, a Miami Heat (unprotected) 2021 1st round pick, and the 2nd round picks in 2021 and 2023 (from the Pistons, per Derek Bodner). Whew.
This is very easy to unpack from the Sixers’ perspective: they are going all in for a championship, and have just put together the most dangerous starting five in the NBA outside of the Golden State Warriors.
