I'm saying it now: Tobias Harris would not be in the top 20 of my preferred paths list, with or without Giannis' impending free agency.
I would prefer to simply re-sign ALL THREE of the big, expiring players. Neither scenario (that or trading one or two of them for Harris) puts the team in immediate contention, but while Richardson will probably get a raise (if he plays as well as we hope), I think there's a good chance that one or both of THJ and Johnson's next deals are much more team friendly. One of them might possibly end up being a much more flippable asset than Harris and his bag of guaranteed cash. I think turning either of them into a marginally better player (by marginal, I only mean the Harris, too, is not a difference maker) on a BAD deal would be a grave mistake.
And, I'd be shocked if there weren't better non-Giannis options popping up left and right at the trade deadline and next summer.
I don't mind Harris, the player, but I'm OUT on that contract. I want no part of anything like that until the talent situation at the TOP of the roster is resolved.
