Tobias Harris
Admittedly, landing Tobias Harris got a lot more tricky due to his trade to the Philadelphia 76ers, who by all rights plan to keep him this summer. Originally as a member of an LA Clippers team that was likely going to clean house this summer, Harris looked quite gettable to an extent. However, with the Clippers opting to sell the farm early and with a bright opportunity and cap space for him in Philly, it may be hard to pry him away.
Then again, if the Sixers disappoint in the playoffs or if the chemistry with the likes of Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Jimmy Butler (who could very well leave the team as well) just doesn’t work out, perhaps Harris will seek greener pastures. There’s almost no denying that his skill set would fit Utah’s system like a glove, so with opportunity and money there, Tobias could certainly look this way.
His 20.7 points per game and red-hot three-point shooting of 42.3 percent make him an absolute dream of a target. Honestly, there’s a strong argument to be had that he’s the most prolific and best-fitting player of this tier, despite being the lone guy to not make the All-Star team, courtesy of the ridiculously deep Western Conference.
But beyond just knocking down threes, Harris has the total package. He can create, attack off the dribble and make plays for others. He’d be exactly the scoring threat the Jazz need to pair alongside Mitchell while also patching up a long-lasting and glaring hole at the four-spot.
His defense is an area of some concern, but it’s far from irreparable. In other words, Jazz fans should be cheering hard that the experiment in Philly falls apart, and Harris instead can be convinced to join the Salt Lake City crew.
