Many believe that the days of Tobias Harris in the City of Brotherly Love are coming to an end. With Harris likely to become a free agent, the Phoenix Suns have been raised as a potential landing spot for the veteran forward in the upcoming NBA free agency.
Via Eric Pincus of the Bleacher Report:
Harris may be one of the hardest players on the list to rank. At 32 in July, he’s heading for a sizable pay cut, possibly as low as the minimum. The issue is that his age and skill set may not fit most teams with money to spend. Perhaps he doesn’t belong this high on the list, but dropping a 17.2 point-per-game scorer off the top 30 is also difficult.
Harris, well-regarded for his low-maintenance personality, is finishing a way-too-large contract and is among the better veteran scorers available. Unless one of the teams with cap room or a larger spending exception gives him a short deal, Harris may end up a reserve on a team with playoff aspirations such as (just speculating) the Houston Rockets, Bucks, Suns, Nuggets, Heat, Bulls, Nets or Kings.
Tobias Harris could be on the Phoenix Suns’ radar
While Harris had an embarrassing performance in the 2024 NBA Playoffs, teams like the Phoenix could be interested in bringing him in, albeit at a much lower cost than the $180 million the Philadelphia 76ers spent on a five-year contract for him back in 2019.
During the Sixers series against the New York Knicks in the first round of the 2024 postseason, Harris put on a disappearing act, averaging just 7.2 points on 43.1 FG%.
