Why This Is A Good Trade For Philadelphia
This is a good trade for the Philadelphia 76ers because it gives them the type of shooting guard they are looking for to come off the bench. When healthy, Gary Harris is one of the better sixth men in the NBA and he could help the Sixers significantly in their search for a title.
Danny Green and Harris have had very similar stats this season, but the better overall player has to be Gary Harris. The 76ers could cut ties with Green while shipping out a solid developmental piece in Terrance Ferguson to get a deal done.
The 76ers are throwing all their eggs in the basket this year and if they can make a subtle upgrade to their shooting guard position then they will look to do it. There’s no such thing as too much talent when you have to play in the same conference as the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks.
Harris wouldn’t be a massive game-changer, but he could be an upgrade coming off of the bench for Philadelphia.
