Signed, signed! Officially joining the Spurs! A $300 million forward teams up with Wembanyama

Here it is, finally arrived.

Tobias Harris has reached a two-year, $31 million deal with the Spurs, averaging $15.5 million per year, fully guaranteed, with no player or team options.

The projected starting five for the Spurs next season is as follows:

Fox, Castle, Vassell, Harris, and Wembanyama.

As for the 25th pick, Harper, he may need to stay on the bench for now... because you can't bench a max-contract player worth $200 million, unless they manage to trade him away.

It must be said that the Spurs are 100% looking to trade Fox, who performed poorly in this year's Finals (averaging 12.8 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1.4 steals, with shooting splits of 34.2% and 25% from three), but the problem is finding a "sucker" willing to take him on; otherwise, they just have to try to maintain this awkward situation.

Back to the main topic,Harris is definitely a winner in life. Despite never making an All-Star or All-NBA team, his total career earnings have already reached $331 million, surpassing even NBA legend Kobe Bryant ($323 million).His major contracts are as follows:

In 2015, he signed a four-year, $64 million deal with the Pistons; in 2019, a five-year, $180 million deal with the 76ers; in 2024, a two-year, $52 million deal with the Pistons; and in 2026, a two-year, $31 million deal with the Spurs.

This guy was born on July 15, 1992, stands 2.03m tall with a 2.11m wingspan, and was the 19th overall pick in the 2011 draft. Last season with the Pistons, he averaged 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in the regular season, hitting 1.3 three-pointers per game at a 36.8% clip; in this year's playoffs, he averaged 18.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.5 steals, making 1.4 three-pointers per game at 29.2%.

In short, the Spurs landed an experienced, well-rounded wing with all the skills for just over $15 million a year—what more could you ask for? It's almost time to pop the champagne.

Notably, reporter Stein commented on this:After signing Harris, the Spurs are not expected to pursue LeBron James anymore.

Of course, James has no shortage of suitors; almost every playoff-caliber or championship-contending team is waving money, waiting for the arrival of King James.
