Any unprotected pick that belongs to a team without an obvious path to contention has good value. It's definitely an asset that could be part of a package to bring in another star if the opportunity presents itself.
The Sixers saved a million, which helps them get to max cap space, and got the higher upside player. The Suns got a NBA ready wing that plays defense, which they desperately needed.
Both teams checked off the boxes they wanted to check off in this deal.
