Ever since signing a 5 year, 180-million-dollar contract with the Sixers back in 2019, many have called it one of the worst contracts in the NBA, and one that severely limited the Sixers flexibility in cap. He was taking up a bunch of cap space, and his contract was so big that few teams would be willing to trade for him.
However, this is Harris’ last year in the deal, making him an expiring player. He’s due just over 39 million for this season, and re-building teams or teams looking to increase their cap greatly in the next off-season may have interest in trading Harris. On the Sixers part, they could trade Harris for a few young role-players to help with their roster. And for those of you that think that this is unlikely to happen: the Lakers were able to pull this off when they traded away Westbrook following the deadline.
So given that Harris is now on an expiring contract, does that make him a valuable trade asset?
Russ is name brand, even with his poor performance. Tobias is not. I think he could have an aaron gordon role on a contender though
He’s making too much money to be valuable, even as an expiring. He is a good player, though.
Not valuable, but no NBA contract/player is un-tradeable.
You know Russ got waived right after getting traded right? So Russ the player was useless, his role in the trade was just his 45m salary. Basically Russ was an human version of 45m TPE that actually cost the other team money. So worse than a real TPE. The player himself has no value or negative value.
I’d imagine the same with Tobias Harris
[SHAMS BURNER] Morey wants 5 1st rp, 10 1st rd swaps, 3 young stars, 4 3&d players on rookie contracts and blow job for a Harden and Tobias package.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a trade with Tobi and Harden going to the Clippers.
76ers get a lot of pieces to put around Maxey and Embiid. Tradeable contracts.
A third team like my Mavs facilitating part of it.
