The 30 Most Impactful Moves of the 2024 NBA Offseason | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats & Rumors

Kudos to Jason Miller of Getty Images for the above Tobias Harris-in-a-Detroit-Pistons-jersey photoshop. It looks so real. Graphic design must be Miller’s passion.

People laughed at the money Detroit needed to bring in Harris. Two years and $52 million, fully guaranteed, is a lot for someone whose previous team and fan base abandoned him seasons ago—plural.

Critics should get over it. This isn’t a home run signing. But Harris is probably better suited to a situation where he doesn’t have to be the third wheel for a title contender. And while the money isn’t ideal, it’s light years away from backbreaking. He’s expiring after this season, and when you’re as bad as the Pistons, you have to pay too much to get quality talent, unless you re-sign Simone Fontecchio, apparently.

Regardless, the Harris signing remains consistent with Detroit’s attempt to shore up its distance. And, more notably, it almost certainly means the Pistons’ two-big days are over.

You don’t sign Harris to play primarily the 3 in 2024. The Paul Reed acquisition doesn’t change that. The Pistons were already leaning in that direction, but Harris’ arrival seals it: Isaiah Stewart is a backup 5, and Detroit should benefit from it.
