Philadelphia 76ers trade Mikal Bridges for Zhaire Smith in 2018 draft

The Philadelphia 76ers traded Mikal Bridges to the Phoenix Suns for Zhaire Smith during the 2018 NBA Draft. The Sixers held the No. 10 pick and initially selected Bridges, a local player from Villanova, but swapped him for the No. 16 pick which they used on Smith. Smith faced significant challenges early in his career, limited by an allergic reaction and playing only 13 games across two seasons before being traded to the Detroit Pistons.
