One of the two of Dario and Covington should move yes. But, not for that deal and especially not to the Celtics.
Covington is a good piece to move as his salary is locked and affordable. He plus that MIA 2021 pick + something would get the Sixers a true valuable player All Star talent, like a Kawhi, for moving forward as opposed to a random bit of pieces and a mid level player.
You look forward nicely, but I think the time to push in the chips is now.

I would consider trading Dario to Boston for the rest of the 2019 SAC 1st, 2019 MEM 1st and Marcus Morris.
2019 first round draft pick from Memphis
Memphis' 1st round pick to Boston protected for selections 1-8 in 2019 and 1-6 in 2020 and unprotected in 2021 [Boston-Memphis-New Orleans, 1/12/2015]. This has a good chance of being a late lottery pick next year.
2019 SAC 1st I expect to be a top 8 pick
That's 2 lottery picks next year which with the 2021 MIA pick would get us a good sniff at the #1 pick in next year's draft. Next year's draft is weaker than this class but is filled with blue-chip SFs like RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish, Romeo Langford, Keldon Johnson, Nassir Little in the top 10.
