Detroit Pistons Receive: F Tobias Harris, G Jaden Springer, 2029 First-Round Pick (PHI) 

Philadelphia 76ers Receive: F Bojan Bogdanovic, G/F Alec Burks, C Nerlens Noel 

Here, the Philadelphia 76rs bolster their depth. 

Some would argue that Bojan Bogdanovic is a better player than Harris. Others would disagree. Either way, the margin between these two stretch 4s is thin. 

Thin enough that adding Burks and Noel alongside Bogdanovic would easily make the Sixers better. Burks is a versatile guard/forward who’s an elite floor spacer and capable playmaker.

Meanwhile, Noel gives the Sixers that backup big man they could use.

Finally, there’s no ambiguity about the Detroit Pistons’ direction. This team is distinctly rebuilding. Acquiring a distant first-round pick and Springer for this collection of vets is worth the cost of absorbing Harris’ deal. 

On the other hand, the Sixers may value Harris’ corporate knowledge. In that case, they’ll prefer this next deal.
