Not gonna act like he makes the Pistons a playoff team. But a solid veteran (very cliche) who can provide some much needed scoring and spacing
I personally like the signing because you gave Cade the bag now it’s incumbent upon you to put competent players around him so he can maximize his greatness he’s had below average talent since getting drafted to Detroit
Could have signed Williams and Oubre for less than they signed Harris for
I love it
Good signing by Trajan. 2yr deal is great, money is a tick higher than what I wanted to see but he did have other suitors. If he plays well enough he might be an attractive asset to a contending team next offseason.
Miles Bridges
if h dont play good its terrible.
Tobias is a garbage scorer type of player
He scores at the nost pointless time and disappears when he is needed
I like the Tobias signing. I think the money and years are right. But I feel like the moves that have been made so far are exactly what Troy would've done this off season.
Saw that Gary Trent jr stock is falling and teams might not even offer 12.5 million one year contract. I think if pistons could swoop in and give say 2 years and 15 mil or less per year that’s a good signing.
Tobias isn't a bad deal since its only two seasons.
But we didn't go after long term players like Naji Marshall or Jalen Smith.
Yhis is shaping up to be a very disappointing summer.
Funny they are making all the moves that were rumored before Langdon took over.
How is our depth chart spinning as of right now?
What I love to see Trajan so far with his draft, hires, trades and signing is he’s just going out and getting the best things he can get. He’s not like Troy weaver and being too aggressive on a bunch of randos: he’s steadily building a stronger team and culture. Great signing!
Guess what, Pistons can play 5-out now. Stew, Toby, Tek, THJ, Cade
Tobias and Tim two vets I'm cool with it
To keep it simple. They brought in about 30-40 guaranteed points with Tobi and THJ. They still a couple moves away for me to be completely satisfied. They're doing what I thought as of now.
It's a ok deal but I rather gave that deal to Miles Bridges he should be around that type of deal it maybe less for him to
Glad it's not 3-4 years. We need to use the cap money. Nobody's else coming. Can be good trade piece next year. Just stay in the lottery top five one more year.
If he stays healthy it's a great deal!
If the Pistons somehow signed prime Jordan this off season Pistons fans would still bitch.
If bad thing on this deal is his playoff performance then for Detroit this is good deal, we may back into playoffs next year, this s probably stretch goal, if we do with Tobias then this signing is a win. I like having Tobias, THJ and if we sign FONTECCHIO we then have 3 shooters to go with our core. Honestly would like one more shooter, good offseason so far.
Too much money 🤷♂
I like what Trajan has done so far. I hope he can absorb another "sin" contract for additional assets and hopefully address a backup PG (Tyus Jones) and a Rim Protecting Big (Goga Bitadze). Sign another shooter with the Mid Level, and let the young guys grow within a rotation, not throwing them in the deep end of the pool to sink or swim.
Cmon Detroit bring Miles Bridges 🙌
We will see how it goes and I will save judgement for afterwards
Seth curry would have been better
He's serviceable, and better than the Hardaway Jr pickup. But hes definitely ot a game changer. Not sure we'd have won more games with Hardaway Jr last year, but we're probably good for 7-10 more wins with Harris.
Solid signing. 🙏
It's a ok signing because overall no one wants to come here as a FA so this thinking that we could do so much better is unrealistic the way this roster is constructed.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Beggars cannot be choosers. Many of the players the Pistons were rumored to be targeting already signed with other teams. Tobias may not have been the best option at his position, but was someone willing to come to Detroit despite our record and infamy throughout the league.
They shouldn't have a traded him first place.
Tobias Harris 2 yr.52 million contract is a DAMN JOKE!!!!
