A rather risky move for the Sixers, who give up some of their stashed assets for a rental of Harris, but i like it. They're going to be a really tough out in the playoffs with all of these scoring threats on the team. While their depth isn't great, they could still get somebody off the buyout market, and they can stagger the minutes of their four offensive stars. Of course they could end up being like the
2004 Dallas Mavericks but this move helps them keep pace with the Bucks and Raptors in this wild Eastern Conference arms race.
It's interesting to see how quickly the narrative about Ben Simmons has changed. A year ago he was a future MVP and the second coming of Magic Johnson, and now he's a liability who will never develop a jump shot. He's 22 years old and already an all-star. Just because he might not develop a jump shot doesn't mean there's no chance he will. Maybe he's just another Andrew Wiggins who comes into the league full of potential but makes no apparent effort to improve, but I doubt it.
