Isn't Harris a FA? He is 32 years old and clearly on the downside of his career.



Yes. No one said you had to give him a $50M/yr contract. S&T's are still a thing.
No one said i was bringing him here to be the #2 on the team. I want to bring him off the bench.

He's been there for 5 years. Every single year the Sixers have been better with him on the court than off the court if you look at his on/off stats. He might not score 20ppg, but he's going to help the team win. As i said, he's big enough to hold his own against most small ball 5's, as well as 4's, and his length and defensive instincts make it hard on perimeter players to do anything against him. and he has always been able to knock down open 3's.

You can bitch he didn't score in last nights game, but if you are going to bitch about it, then talk about the 19 points he had the game before on 7-11 shooting.

Again, i'm not asking to bring him here to be a #2, a #3, or even a #4 on our team. He's coming off the bench and playing the 3/4 with Trey and Zion and some small ball 5.

S&Ts are not really all that common any more, but they could still happen. Why would you waste anything on Harris? It would have to be large enough to convince him to go to a small market (i.e. overpay). He is not really very good any more given his cost.

The problem with Tobias Harris and you saying you bringing him off the bench is he’s a guy coming off a max contract.

He’s not signing here for less than 30 million, especially with the rumors that Detroit is hot after him (I assume they would be willing to give him a 2 year max just to burn their cap space)

I am not giving Tobias Harris 30 million to come here, if we do that we might as well just give Ingram 50
