Why The Philadelphia 76ers Do The Deal 

Sure. In fact, McCollum could be a better fit alongside Joel Embiid. 

This is a player who plied his trade alongside Damian Lillard as an off-guard. McCollum is accustomed to finding open shots off of the ball. That will serve Embiid nicely.

Does losing Harris sting? A little. At the same time, this is a replaceable player.
