I guess you gotta get that money, but yikes!
Tobias Harris, a free agent forward, has agreed on a two-year deal with the Detroit Pistons worth $52 million, according to a Monday report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Turning 32 years old July 15, Harris had been with the Philadelphia 76ers since the 2019 trade deadline when he came from the Los Angeles Clippers. Since entering the league as the 2011 NBA Draft’s No. 19 pick, Harris has been traded four times in the midseason.

Following the trade, Harris inked a five-year, $180 million contract extension to find himself a long-term home in Philly, officially coming to an end after this past season to enter into unrestricted free agency.
For the Sixers in the 2023-24 campaign, Harris tallied a stat line of 17.2 points-per-game, 6.5 rebounds-per-game and 3.1 assists-per-game, shooting 48.7% from the field and 35.3% from behind the three-point line. He’s also been durable, competing in at least 70 contests in four of the past five seasons.

I’m sure Sixers fans are crying a river after setting up a sexy ‘Big 3’ … *obvious sarcasm*
“A big three of George, Embiid and Maxey”

Get your money, Tobias, but you’re in for one hell of a rough time in Detroit.
