Overview
- Multiple outlets report Harris has a verbal two-year, $31 million deal with the San Antonio Spurs but the contract cannot be formally completed until the NBA’s July moratorium ends.
- The agreement raises Harris’s career earnings to about $330 million, a total the coverage notes exceeds Kobe Bryant’s career pay over his 20 seasons.
- Harris told HoopsHype he left the Detroit Pistons because of an “urgency to win a championship,” ending a two-season stint in which Pistons officials publicly tried to retain him.
- San Antonio plans to use Harris as a floor-spacing, secondary shot-creator and veteran leader for its young core, with media projections listing him in a starting five alongside De’Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle and Victor Wembanyama.
- The signing produced mixed reactions from analysts and fans, and Detroit has already moved to replace Harris by acquiring John Collins in a sign-and-trade that preserves the Pistons’ roster flexibility around Cade Cunningham.
