The new big four in Philadelphia
The four consists of Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, Jimmy Buttler, and now Tobias Harris. Harris is having his best season yet averaging 20.9 points and 7.9 rebounds per game and Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons are All-Stars this year.
Even before adding Tobias Harris, the @sixers are the only team in the NBA with four players averaging at least 17.0 PPG this season. The reported Harris trade would give them a fifth. pic.twitter.com/QUKGnR1gmX

Why did the Clippers trade Harris
It looks like their main goal here is to secure the future team with the four picks they got from the trade. Although they are still a competitive team, in the Western Conference, their chances of getting to the playoffs without Harris are slim.
Philadelphia is going for the ring
With Tobias Harris now in their team, along with Jimmy Butler, Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, the 76ers are looking like a serious title contender team.

Clippers are trying to land Anthony Davis
On the other hand, the Clippers are now in a good position to acquire Davis, which could bring some competition for the Lakers in a race for AD.
The Lakers are still glad to engage with the Pelicans on an Anthony Davis trade, but no longer want to bid against themselves, league sources tell ESPN. Lakers are waiting for Pelicans to make a counter-proposal.
