The Worst $180 Million A Team Has Ever Spent

There always seems to be an obstacle in the way for the Philadelphia 76ers. Whether it's injuries, or losing to a superior team, they've never made it very far in the playoffs. In this video, let's take a look at the biggest culprit - the contract of Tobias Harris, which really crippled the team for so many years.

When Tobias Harris joined the 76ers at the 2019 trade deadline, he was averaging 21 points while knocking down 43 percent of his threes at 26 years old. The Sixers assumed they weren’t landing names like Kawhi Leonard, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant, so they went for the next-best scorer on the market, which happened to be Harris.

After game 6 though, 2 shots in a closeout game going 0-2 0pts 4rep 3ast. Yeah, you can't win with that. When Buddy Hield comes off the bench and has not played all series and puts up 20pts and 35yr old Battum gets 16, that's a problem.

With Jimmy and Embiid plus cap space they wouldn't need Harden. They would have been able to put up a decent roster around those two to compete for the championship.

I disagree that his problem is not having a bag. His problem is not being aggressive enough. He doesn’t need crazy combo moves to get a good shot. He’s usually guarded by someone slower/smaller/weaker than him. He could get good looks with very simple moves. I think he’s the type of guy that is so concerned with his efficiency numbers that he turns down opportunities.

Here’s the problem with Tobias Harris, he was good back when he was with the clippers because the league didn’t have a lot of PFs like him that could shoot the 3, but as time went on, more players like him came in to the league who could shoot more efficiently, and suddenly his greatest strength became a mediocre talent. His 3 PT shooting also seems to have gotten slightly worse the last couple years, I think people forget that it was his 3 ball on top of his other abilities that put him on the map, Tobias Harris is a great value Paolo Banchero who’s lost his athleticism.

I love Jimmy, but the "Harris over me?" quote by Jimmy is some delicious revisionist history. Jimmy outright refused a max contract because the Sixers wouldn't fire Brett Brown and because he didn't like Ben Simmons' attitude. Not excusing Harris' anchor deal. Harris was only worth about $20 mil a year, not $35 mil. Edit: If Jimmy really did get low balled, then my b. I just know that wasn't part of the narrative at the time.
