Counterpoint: Does the Sixers’ Tobias Harris trade help the Raptors?

The Philadelphia 76’ers aren’t playing around, are they?

Reports say the team from the City of Brotherly Love has added Tobias Harris, his best friend Boban Marjanovic and Mike Scott in a trade for rookie Landry Shamet, the rapidly decaying corpse of Wilson Chandler, Mike Scott’s spiritual twin Mike Muscala and picks.

Harris is the real prize here. If “Tobi” was playing in the East he’d be a sure-fire All-Star. Harris is basically putting up 21/8/3 on .494/.434/.877 splits. The man is a goddamn menace, and his shooting ability means that, unlike any of the current Philly Big Three, he’s a real weapon without the ball in his hands.
