Philadelphia 76ers Receive: G Damian Lillard
Portland Trail Blazers Receive: F Tobias Harris, G Tyrese Maxey, G Jaden Springer, 2024 First-Round Pick, 2026 First-Round Pick
This hypothetical NBA trade scenario to land Damian Lillard would certainly not be cheap for the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite missing time with injuries this season, he continues to be one of the best point guards in the league today.
Adding another superstar guard into the backcourt could take the 76ers to new heights with James Harden now in the fold. Having a one-two punch in the backcourt that can drop 30+ points alongside Joel Embiid would be daunting for any defense to contain.
Tobias Harris and the rest of his hefty contract will have to go back to Portland to match this deal’s salaries. Also, Philadelphia would have to part ways with one of their young talents to get it done.
When targeting a deal for Harden, the 76ers did not want to move the likes of Tyrese Maxey and Matisse Thybulle. Philadelphia will have to part ways with one to get this deal done, and Maxey would be enough.
