Tobias Harris has been traded from the Los Angeles Clippers to the Philadelphia 76ers, and in response to this latest career move, he sent out the perfect tweet:

In the tweet, Harris references Will Smith's hit TV show, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” which is of course about a kid who moves from Philadelphia to live with his wealthy family in the Bel-Air district of Los Angeles.
Sounds like Harris is happy about the move, if the tweet is anything to go by, though he's actually going the opposite direction.
Regardless, Tobias Harris won't be alone on his trip. Harris will be joined by Boban Marjanovic and Mike Scott in the Sixers' new lineup.
In exchange, the Clippers will get some muscle of their own in the form of Landry Shamet, Wilson Chandler, and Mike Muscala, plus a boatload of draft picks.




The levity of Tobias Harris' tweet notwithstanding, this trade will have ramifications for both teams for a long time to come.
Via CBS Sports:
First of all, it gives the Sixers yet another high-level player. Harris is in the midst of a career-year, putting up 20.7 points and 7.9 rebounds per game, while shooting over 42 percent from downtown. Many felt he had a legitimate case to make the All-Star team for the first time in his career. Whether they keep the picks, or try to parlay them into a blockbuster trade of their own, the Clippers are nicely stocked for the future — one which they hope includes some big-name free agents.
Ultimately, this is a good move for the Clippers, since they don't need to worry about re-signing Tobias Harris and can focus on going after the bigger fish.
