According to ESPN authoritative reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, the Detroit Pistons have agreed with forward Tobias Harris, who previously played for the Philadelphia 76ers, and Harris will receive a two-year, $52 million contract from the Pistons. According to James L. Edwards III, The Athletic's Pistons-based correspondent, the contract does not include any options and no strings attached.
In this season's NBA regular season, Harris played a total of 70 games for the team, averaging 33.8 minutes per game, averaging 17.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1 steal and 0.7 blocks per game, shooting 48.7% from the field, 35.3% from three-point range, and 87.8% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Harris played a total of 6 games for the team, averaging 36.3 minutes per game, averaging only 9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.2 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, shooting 43.1% from the field, 33.3% from three-point range, and 100% from the free throw line.
Harris's performance this season has not been particularly ideal, and his performance in the regular season was not particularly good, although not particularly good, but he basically maintained a high level, and he can provide some help and support for the team on both offensive and defensive ends. However, the problem is that in the playoffs, Harris's performance can be said to have plummeted, his presence on the offensive end is very limited, and his influence on the defensive end is also seriously insufficient. The 76ers were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, which also had a lot to do with Harris's poor performance. As a max paid player, he simply didn't take his share of responsibility at all and his performance was very disappointing. That could also be a big factor in the 76ers' determination to drop him this summer.
In fact, for both Harris and Pistons, this signing is a good choice. Harris is only 31 years old, he is still in the prime of his career, and he also needs a stage where he can prove himself, and he can return to the team he played for back then, especially the Pistons, the team that helped him play his price, and there is some special meaning. For the Pistons, Harris will undoubtedly be the best partner next to Cade Cunningham in the new season. The Pistons' ability on the offensive end is very average, which is also an important factor in Cunningham's struggle on the offensive end. The rest of the team's players seem to be working a little less well with Cunningham, and now that Cunningham finally has a basic online helper, will the team's competitiveness be further improved?
