The Los Angeles Clippers have traded Tobias Harris, Boban Marjanovic, and Mike Scott to the Philadelphia 76ers for Landry Shamet, Mike Muscala, Wilson Chandler, two first-round picks, and two second-round picks.

The 76ers sent the Clippers their 2020 first-round pick and an unprotected 2021 first-round pick (via the Miami Heat), league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The 76ers' 2020 pick is lottery protected for three years, league sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne. If it does not convey, it will reportedly become a pair of second-round picks in the 2023 and 2024 drafts.

Harris was among the most notable Western Conference All-Star snubs this season, with the 26-year-old forward averaging 20.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 2.7 assists across 54 games with the Clippers.

The 76ers intend to sign Harris to an extension, establishing a new Big Four in the Eastern Conference with fellow midseason acquisition Jimmy Butler and holdovers Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, league sources told Wojnarowski. All four are reportedly in Philadelphia's long-term plans. Harris' current four-year, $64-million contract is due to expire at the end of this season.

Headed to Philadelphia with Harris are Marjanovic, 30, a 7-foot-3 behemoth currently averaging 6.9 points and 4.3 rebounds in just 10.7 minutes per game, and Scott, a 30-year-old power forward averaging 4.7 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.

In return, the Clippers are reportedly receiving Shamet, a rookie guard averaging 8.4 points while shooting 40.6 percent from 3-point territory, and a pair of veteran forwards in the 31-year-old Chandler and 27-year-old Muscala.

Arguably the most valuable asset netted by Los Angeles is the 2021 first-round pick originally owned by the Heat. The pick had previously been sent to the Phoenix Suns as part of a trade centered around guard Goran Dragic. It was then rerouted to the 76ers along with Zhaire Smith in exchange for Mikal Bridges on draft day last summer.
