The Philadelphia 76ers and New Orleans Pelicans discussed the framework of a Markelle Fultz for Nikola Mirotic deal before the Tobias Harris trade.

Mirotic was eventually traded to the Milwaukee Bucks, while Fultz was traded by the 76ers to the Orlando Magic for Jonathon Simmons and a future first round pick.

The 76ers traded away two first round picks in the deal for Harris.
