The Philadelphia 76ers wrapped up their season with a sense of disappointment. Joel Embiid suffered multiple crucial injuries in the postseason, effectively ending their playoff run.
Now, they’ll look to revamp the roster this offseason. They have a solid core of Embiid, James Harden, and Tyrese Maxey, with some decent players in their supporting cast.
However, Tobias Harris has emerged as a candidate to be traded this summer, as his massive $38.4 million contract has become one of the worst in the league.
The harsh reality is that they might have to attach assets to Harris just to get off his contract. With that in mind, here are three deals that would see Harris land in a new city.
NBA Trades: 3 Tobias Harris trades for the Philadelphia 76ers to consider: Washington Wizards
76ers receive: Bradley Beal
Wizards receive: Tobias Harris, Shake Milton, #23 Pick
This trade would only work on one condition: If Bradley Beal demands a trade and wishes to join Joel Embiid and James Harden on the Philadelphia 76ers. If that is the case, the Washington Wizards could choose to take this deal.
At the very least, Tobias Harris would help them remain somewhat competitive, but in all likelihood, he would just be on the team for two years while they kickstart their rebuild.
Washington would get Shake Milton and the 23rd pick in the draft for their troubles, although that’s not an ideal haul considering what they’d be giving up in the deal.
Again, this trade would only happen if Beal tries to force his way to Philadelphia, which seems unlikely. If it does happen, though, this would probably be the framework of the trade.
