When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

I think he has been added by every active player at least once this season, lol. I definitely gave him a run early on.

He's gone from arguably the worst contract in the league to a borderline all-star (shoulda made it). He might be the 2nd most important player on the #1 seed in the East

It's still Randle IMO

Harris was never the “worst “ contract. People just don’t understand the salary cap (not here )

has LockerRoom been funnelling seed money to all these basektball podcasts to have these lovely Q&A sessions? i'm listening to the Hollinger & Duncan pod from yesterday, and the first guy comes in under the username Poku with one of the grossest voices I've heard saying "First time caller, long time listener here. I'm not actually the real Poku though, unfortunately". this is bad content and i hope they go bankrupt.

e: he also later interrupts nate to say that he thinks the Thunder should keep tanking to accumulate more draft picks lol. they got a few already dude

the tobias harris contract isn't good but if he sucks rear end in the playoffs for the third year in a row then I don't see how you can look at him as anything other than Premium Wiggins. The worse part about the tobias contract is the process that the sixers management went through to give it to him. just a bunch of sunk cost pr posturing.

comparing him to wiggins is dumb as hell, you can talk about players without sorting them into the bucket of "lebron" or "terrible and overpaid"

Lol, Harris plays absolutely nothing like Wiggins. Harris has always been pretty good and he go overpaid because that's what the Sixers needed to do to get him to be a (at the time) 4th banana. He's also playing a lot better this year because he doesn't need to play as a perimeter-only wing and can instead play forward. Harris had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the sixers played 4 bigs last year.

yeah and middleton is underpaid

there's a lot of room between being one of the best two way players in the league and slightly better than andrew wiggins

He's scoring an efficient 20 points a game and playing pretty good D this year I don't really know what else you could want out of someone playing off a high usage MVP candidate

he would have definitely gotten a max on the open market too so it's not just a Philly thing they just happened to have his bird rights and could go higher

Harris has more than shown up this season and aside from having to prove it in the playoffs, any criticism of him that's beyond him not being a top elite player is mostly hyperbole or trolling.

He may be behind Simmons, but it honestly doesn't matter, they're both very necessary for the team to have a shot at a title this year.

for sure, i'm strictly comparing their impact, not the roles they play. the clippers performing at the same level after trading him for a rookie and picks made me skeptical of him in general. but yeah, maybe more of the blame for his lackluster playoff performance should go to the bad gm-ing the sixers were doing and the fact that brett brown was a legitimately terrible coach.

Thank you. I laughed all over again.

I remember a talking point going around a while ago which said, broadly, that while Thibs was a defensive innovator, widespread adoption of his defensive schemes had made him sorta obsolete. But now the Knicks are a terrific defensive team, and he's a COTY candidate. Does he just have a better roster for his coaching style, or is he coaching differently, or was it just a bullshit hot take the whole time?
