In the 2019 postseason, Tobias Harris was the Philadelphia 76ers‘ weakest link. His shooting percentages plummeted, he looked out of place on offense, and he couldn’t hold his own on defense. It was a lackluster showing.
When the Sixers rewarded Harris’ efforts with a five-year, $180 million contract over the summer, it was rightfully met with criticism. He’s probably not worth the max — not in a vacuum, at least. A large contingent of the fanbase was firmly against Harris, either overtly or passive aggressively.
Such tension will naturally lead to a short leash.
