The Sixers just resigned Tobias Harris to a 5-year $180 million deal. Harris averaged 20 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists last year. Harris was acquired through a trade with the Clippers. The General Manager of the 76ers made it clear that they made that trade with Harris in a "win now" mindset. With this signing it shows that the 76ers are committed to winning and see the Eastern Conference as wide open.
The Sixers might be the favorites next season to win the East, but they still will need to learn how to better fit Tobias into their system. Often times Harris was looked at as the 3rd to 4th option on this team, with JJ Redick and Jimmy Butler leaving Harris will need to become the 2nd to 3rd option. Depending on what the game requires and who they are playing Harris should be looked at as more of a vital scorer in the 4th quarter. Tobias Harris will need to become more of a threat on offense and mimic more of what he did with the Clippers. Harris has a chance to become an All-Star for the first time ever in his career. I fully expect a career year for Tobias Harris and recreate the magic he had with the Clippers.
