76ers Insider Relays Latest Tobias Harris Rumor
The Philadelphia 76ers are intent on winning more than ever next season – and they’ll do anything to make that happen.
For years now, Philly fans have been commanded to “trust the process” and believe that all the pieces would soon come together for true NBA greatness.
Well, they have trusted long enough and now is the time that the team finally reaches the pinnacle of its abilities.
They are now being led by Joel Embiid and James Harden and there is no reason why they shouldn’t make the Eastern Conference Finals and beyond.
Windhorst just alluded to the possibility of the Sixers making more than just marginal moves on @GetUpESPN. Reiterates that Tobias Harris has been on the trade market.

The 76ers might be shaking things up in order to do just that.
Latest reports say that the team is making “more than marginal moves” in the trade market, which suggests that Tobias Harris might be on his way out of Philadelphia.
NBA insider Brian Windhorst said as much, mentioning that he has heard that Harris is inside in the mix to be traded.
Handling Harris
The idea of Harris being traded isn’t incredibly shocking.
As the team has added new talent, Harris has become less and less important to its success.
Harden has come on board, Tyrese Maxey has stepped up, and Harris has found himself the center of a lot of trades because of that.
Now it sounds like the 76ers are focused on trading for P.J. Tucker, which could push Harris out even further.
Apparently, Harris wants a more dominant role in the offense so he may be itching to find a team that will give him that.
The good news for Philadelphia is that they could get a pretty decent amount of asset in exchange for Harris, who averaged 17.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists a game last season.
