Harris will join the 76ers, solidifying Philadelphia as a major threat in the East. He is an unrestricted free agent this summer, which may have encouraged the Clippers to move him.
Tobias Harris could be moving toward a maximum-level contract in free agency this summer, something that would've been difficult for Clippers to do with their own free agency aspirations.

The Clippers will receive the Philadelphia’s lottery-protected first round 2020 pick as well as an unprotected 2021 first-rounder originally belonging to the Miami Heat.
The 2020 Sixers pick is lottery protected for 3 years. Becomes 2 second round picks (in 23 &24) if it doesn’t convey before then. The Miami first round pick in 21 is unprotected. https://t.co/CZiRNyvr8T
