Trade & FA 2024-25:

Interesting. The hardwood knocks guys, one of whom is a Philadelphia fan about as ready to be rid of Harris as this community is to be rid of Hardaway (should tell us something), were arguing the other day about whether Harris is a minimum player, a tax payer mid-level guy or close to a full mid-level guy. They couldn’t decide. I would not be super thrilled about adding him, but he could be a nice bench option if he ends up in the lower half of that spectrum. 

I wonder how he is with above the break threes.

Truthfully Philly is tired of Harris mostly because he isn't good enough to be a 2nd-3rd option. 

He was asked to be the 2nd scorer when Ben Simmons was around and he couldn't do it. He was asked to pick up a lot of nights offensively when Harden couldn't get it done. That wasn't his game.

Now he was asked to be the 3rd scorer behind Maxey and Embiid, but Embiid was injured, and Harris once again couldn't be that guy.


He's a luxury. A great 4th option that can have big scoring nights but I'm not surprised Philly fans are sick and tired of the guy they were paying 40mil to average 15ppg.

In Dallas, he really just has to be able to hit a spot up 3 and occasionally get his own shot. Far cry from what he was asked to do in Philly. 

I remember when they had Butler and Harris was a 4th option he was pretty much universally loved in PHI, so much so that they chose handing him a 180 mil deal over extending Butler.
