2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[SleepingHero]

I have had thoughts of this nature as well.  He is even less of a rim protector and rebounder than Powell, so we would really be stretching the idea of a center.  But he would make more sense than Dorian (they would work well together) and I like how he generally ups his game in the playoffs.  I could be convinced of a move like this.

I also have thought long and hard about a Tobias Harris deal centered around not so great contracts.

The thing is, if we're sending out THJ+Bertans, are we really getting any better on paper? Production wise Harris' days seem to be behind him. I think we'd get more production per dollar just keeping those specialized guys than pivoting to Harris and his bloated contract.

However, on the idea itself, I think Harris would work incredibly well in our small ball lineup. We forego most rim protection anyways with Powell out there (sorry Dan), and Luka is good enough to be a primary rebounder. 

Harris would give us an incredibly consistent scorer. The biggest complaint I've seen about him from 76ers fans is "Tobias will give you 20 points in a game when you only need him to get 15. But he'll only give you 15 in a game you need him to get 20."

As a 3rd option behind Luka and Brunson (can even argue 4th behind Dinwiddie), I think that negative aspect about him is diminished.

Still I don't see any deal for him as realistic unless Cuban really goes all in and Philly accepts a paltry package of just THJ+Chriss+Burke+Brown.
