Should Celtics Outbid Magic for Tobias Harris?

To Pay or Not to Pay

2014-2015 stats: 17.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.5 blocks

It’s difficult to determine the supposed worth of a player like Tobias Harris. He is, without a doubt, an NBA-caliber player. However, considering he’s only 22-years-old, and largely unproven, his value is primarily predicated on his potential ceiling.

Under restricted free agency, for whom Harris is currently a subject, the team which holds his bird rights (contractual proviso allowing teams to exceed the salary cap) – in this case being Orlando – has the ability to match any qualifying offer sent to Harris.
