Tobias Harris, still a Philadelphia 76ers player, has come out with some sarcastic statements about the continuous criticism he receives from his team’s fans, the media reported. NBC Philadelphia.
Recently, the forward has been in the news for the alleged movement that Daryl Morey would have raised to try to transfer him to the Phoenix Suns and / or Cleveland Cavaliers.
“Sixers fans, I know you’d trade me for a pack of cookies. But they have to realize that you won’t get a forward who can shoot almost 40% on 3-pointers, who is capable of defending the opponent’s best player, posting, handling the ball and playing more than 70 games each season,” Harris said. .
The player is in his last guaranteed year valued at almost 40 million dollars, and in this upcoming transfer market they will try to get rid of his salary to try to strengthen other facets of the squad. Likewise, his future would be linked to that of James Harden, whom they are trying to retain with a new short-term commitment.
His father also speaking
His father and agent Torrel Harris has also been in the news relatively recently when he spoke about his son’s situation with the Sixers for the podcast of Sports Business.
“Personally, I don’t think they are using him in the right way. The reason I’m saying this is because he really is a great scorer. A ‘killer’. Nobody can stop him in this league. He has shown that throughout his career, even when he was with the Clippers,” he said.
«And then the Clippers traded him because they were too good, and they wanted a center in the Draft. They offered us $80 million and I turned it down. They said to me then: ‘What do you want?’ And I told them, ‘We want $35 million a season.’ And they said to me: ‘What? Yes, we want 35 million dollars per season.’ And they told me: ‘Well, we’re not going to pay you that.’ So they traded him to the Sixers, and the Sixers have dedicated themselves to putting him in a corner,” he said.
In two seasons with the Clippers, he averaged 20.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. And since his arrival at the Sixers, with them he has played 308 official games with numbers of 17.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per night.
