Tobiars Harris, Spurs Agree To Two-Year, $31M Deal
Tobias Harris and the San Antonio Spurs have agreed to a two-year, 31 million deal. Harris is represented by Torrel Harris. Harris averaged 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 27.7 minutes across 63 games with the Pistons. The Spurs were looking to sign a forward in free agency and Harris gives them an option similar to Julian Champagnie. San Antonio will utilize their non-taxpayer midlevel exception on Harris and now be hard capped at the first apron. The Pistons already signed his probable replacement in John Collins on a three-year, 51 million contract.
