If you went by recent trade rumors and chatter about the Detroit Pistons, you’d think Tobias Harris should start property hunting in Utah.
None of this speculation or talk is emanating from the Pistons, who are gearing up for another run at the playoffs with Tobias Harris penciled in as their starting power forward.
He is on an expiring contract, the biggest one the Pistons have, so he’s obviously going to be included in any trade rumor for a player on a significant salary, as the Pistons would need his money to make it work.
The most ubiquitous rumor lately sees Tobias Harris and Jaden Ivey getting shipped off to Utah for Lauri Markkanen, and it seems like the entire rumor class of the national media is on board, though none of them address some of the obvious red flags.
