- 2030 second (most favorable of Phoenix and Portland)
- 2030 second (Washington)

ANALYSIS: Reggie Jackson, 34, joined the Sixers in July 2024 after a buyout with the Charlotte Hornets. During his tenure with Philadelphia, he averaged 4.4 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.
Jared Butler, currently on a two-way contract, has shown promise with the Wizards this season. The Sixers anticipate that Butler will provide depth to their backcourt and view the additional draft picks as valuable assets for future transactions or talent acquisition.
This trade marks the Sixers' third transaction leading up to the 2025 NBA trade deadline, reflecting their strategy to rejuvenate the roster and enhance future flexibility. This should also mean the Sixers are looking ahead not just this season but for more seasons beyond. They are currently standing 11th in the Eastern Conference with a 20-30 record.
