Who Is on the Philadelphia 76ers Roster Following the Trade Deadline?
The Philadelphia 76ers made a big splash on Wednesday with their six-player trade with the Los Angeles Clippers to acquire Tobias Harris.
The 76ers brought in Harris, Boban Marjanovic and Mike Scott in exchange for Wilson Chandler, Mike Muscala, Landry Shamet, a 2020 lottery protected first-round pick, the rights to the Heat's 2021 first-round pick, and the rights to the Pistons' 2021 second-round pick and a 2023 second-round pick.
With the trade, Philadelphia now possesses what is arguably one of the best starting lineups in the NBA with a big four of Harris, Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid and Jimmy Butler. The team is reportedly planning on committing to those four players long-term, but only Embiid is under contract past next season.
The move came shortly after the team decided not to sign Corey Brewer to a long-term deal after having him on two 10-day contracts.
The next day with the NBA trade deadline approaching, Philadelphia made a few other moves, including trading 2017 No. 1 pick Markelle Fultz to the Orlando Magic for Jonathon Simmons and two picks.
Now that the trade with the Clippers is official and the trade deadline has come and gone, take a look at who all is playing for the 76ers and what their current guaranteed contracts look like.
