Tobias Harris is the current power forward of the Philadelphia 76ers.
Considered a solid player who can deliver score, rebounds and shots for the team, he travels with a seasonal average of 18.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.6 assistswhile shooting with about 34.7% from beyond the arc. It was also one of the pillars of the attack of Philadelphia, since 3 years ago was involved in one exchange with the Los Angeles Clipperswhich later took him to Philly.
However, its realization average and its number of shots per game I’m lightly decreased during this seasonand it appears that its role has been further reduced.
But if on the one hand there is no doubt that Harris be a capable playermany analysts see it as one negative resource also because of his contract, considered too high for the results it gets in the field. In fact, that of Harris (to whom they still remain 2 years to play in Philadelphiafor a total of 77 million dollars) was seen as one of the league’s worst contracts earlier this season, and getting it out of the way will give the 76ers more flexibility in filling their roster and gaining depth in the future.
Before the deadline, the 76ers also had considered some potential exchanges which involved the wing, with the idea of lfree up some wage space then acquire James Harden tramite free agency.
But even now that Harden has entered the roster (via the trade he brought up Ben Simmons ai Brooklyn Nets), it is said that the presidente Daryl Morey are looking for another star to be placed next to him e Joel Embiid.
To do that it probably should download a lot of wagesand the most logical choice would fall to Harris, who will earn $ 37.6 million in the 2022/23 season e 39.3 in 2023/24and that’s not quite the superstar Morey imagines.
In fact, the Sixers had reportedly spoken to the Atlanta Hawks and with i Sacramento Kings about the possibility of treat for Harrisand it is thought that even the Oklahoma City Thunder could be willing to take his salary, if well paid. Philadelphia might later find even more options this summerwhen the teams will have more space under the cap.
Many of these talks could therefore result in an agreement during the off-seasonaccording to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.
“I spoke to the league executives, because I wanted to ask them a lot about Philly. Everyone has only seen them for a short period of time “ Windhorst said. “But they’re already talking about what Tobias Harris exchanges they might consider this summer.”
However, for now, the 76ers should focus on the rest of the season waiting for them, especially because with the Harden-Embiid duo they have become gods legitimate contenders for the ring.
Joel Embiid has not in fact passed yet the second round of the playoffs in his career, but perhaps this is the good year, in which the 76ers could go all the way and, who knows, maybe even win.
