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?
😂 now we are delineating between contract and player per value. Value is value.
The value is from the pick attached not from Russ. Is it that hard to understand? If the player got waived right after the trade how do you say he has any value?
Easily. He didn’t fit their plans. Simple Enough. Then he went and played elsewhere right? He did play the season right? Right?
It’s like talking to a brick. Good luck to you
