The Philadelphia 76ers are looking to make a big move in the offseason and secure top talent like Paul George. In order to do so, they will need Tobias Harris to have a breakout performance if they want to beat the Knicks and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals as the No. 7 seed.
Harris may not be a fan favorite in Philly, but he has shown his ability to score effectively on occasion. With an average of 17.2 points per game this season on 35.3% shooting from beyond the arc, Harris proves his scoring ability. As he heads into free agency this summer, he is expected to draw interest from multiple teams looking for his veteran presence and scoring ability.
Detroit could be a potential landing spot for Harris given the opportunity to play alongside other talented players. However, his decision will also be influenced by Detroit’s new head of basketball operations and the financial aspects involved. With few options left other than re-signing with the 76ers, Harris will have to weigh his options carefully before making a final decision.
In addition to Detroit, teams like the Spurs and Magic are also expected to show interest in Harris this summer. He will ultimately need to consider offers in terms of money and playing time before making a decision about where he will play next season.
As Philadelphia looks towards their offseason plans, it is likely that they won’t keep Harris around for long. With big players like George in mind, they are looking for moves that will help them secure top talent and compete at a higher level next season.
