The Mavericks are among the teams interested in the former $180 million wing, according to reports.

The Dallas Mavericks were four wins away from winning their second title as a franchise. To take advantage of this uncommon chance, they may pursue free agency to better their existing position. Tobias Harris is one of the free agents they are apparently looking at.

According to Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report, the Mavericks are one of several clubs interested in the Philadelphia 76ers wing. He also explained what the Mavericks would need to accomplish to get him on board.

“Utah, Detroit, San Antonio, Dallas, and New Orleans. Dallas and New Orleans, those will probably have to be sign-and-trade-type scenarios. Those are teams that I’m hearing that are expected to have some level of interest in Tobias Harris this summer.”

The Sixers would have enough cap space to absorb parts of the Mavericks’ contracts, like Tim Hardaway Jr. and Maxi Kleber. However, the Sixers have the same goals as the Mavericks, thus they would have no interest in acquiring those two.

If a third team was involved, a sign-and-trade could be in order. Harris is coming off a five-year, $180 million contract.

Tobias Harris is unlikely to return to the Sixers, according to reports.

Harris has spent the last five and a half years with the Sixers. They paid him like a star. Needless to say, he did not live up to the expectations. According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Harris is unlikely to stay with the Sixers.

“Tobias Harris may be as good as gone,” Pompey wrote in an April 19 article. “The power forward’s tenure with the 76ers is expected to end once their postseason run concludes. Several NBA executives believe there’s a chance he’ll land with the Detroit Pistons in free agency. But there are several other teams interested in the 13th-year veteran with career averages of 16.3 points and 6.2 rebounds.”

Harris has shown that he can score efficiently, but not at the same rate as an All-Star. He faced a lot of criticism for failing to fulfill his obligations. Perhaps he won’t have to go through any hardship if he gets paid correctly.

Harris would presumably be the Mavericks’ third scoring option, after Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Dallas’ lack of a third option in the NBA Finals led to their defeat to the Boston Celtics. Harris could correct this.

Jerami Grant Floated as ‘Dream Fit’ for the Mavs

Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer discussed why Grant might be an appealing trade target.

“Grant is still a versatile defender who can fit into any switching defense, and he’s still a knockdown shooter who can cut and score at the rim. But he’s also capable of doing work off the dribble. Much like Porzingis for Boston, perhaps now he’s at a stage of his career when he’d prefer a little more balance.”

He then outlined why Grant is a “dream fit” for the Mavericks.

“Just imagine a guy with Grant’s scoring talent receiving kickout passes from Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, instead of Maxi Kleber. Grant would feast on more open looks than he ever has. And because of his handling ability, he could help alleviate some of Luka and Kyrie’s burden.”

Grant and Harris are in a similar position. As a result, it’s evident that the Mavericks desire a player that fits the profile of a scoring wing. This does not have to be Grant or Harris, but such a player might help them get over the hurdle.
