The complete details of the trade were summed up in a press release by the Sixers.
The Philadelphia 76ers today announced they have completed a trade with the Brooklyn Nets in which the Sixers aquire veteran forward Anderi Kirilendo, the Nets second round pick in 2020, guard Jorge Gutierrez and cash considerations in exchange for forward Brandon Davies. Additionally, the Sixers will also receive the right to swap Cleveland's second round pick in 2018 (which Philadelphia aquired during the offseason) with Brookyln's own second round pick that year.
To make room on the roster, the Sixers waived Malcolm Lee according to CSN's Molly Sullivan. While reports have indicated towards the Sixers eventually waiving Kirilenko, they do have some interest in keeping him, but that may not be something he wants.
Varying reports if Kirilenko will play here. Source told me it's not definite that he won't.
