[Pompey] the Sixers told the Cavs what it would take (for Tobias Harris) days before the draft: A package of Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley, and a draft pick.



> [Article](https://www.inquirer.com/sports/sixers-trade-rumors-tobias-harris-20230624.html)

> The Sixers have been adamant that they’re not willing to trade him unless it drastically improves their team. They made that clear on draft night and don’t intend to change their stance.

> However, the Phoenix Suns, Utah Jazz, and Dallas Mavericks joined the previously mentioned Cleveland Cavaliers, Indiana Pacers, and Detroit Pistons as teams making inquiries about the 30-year-old’s availability, according to sources.

> **A source said the Suns want Harris to play alongside Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal.** And they want to acquire him before the start of free agency on June 30 because of possible second apron ramifications.

> The only thing is Phoenix would have to move Deandre Ayton. The Sixers have no interest in the 7-foot, 250-pounder with three years and $102 million left on his contract. And why would they when franchise player and reigning MVP Joel Embiid, like Ayton, plays center?

> The Sixers also don’t have any interest in any of the players the Suns would make available.

> So Phoenix wants the Sixers to get a third team involved to facilitate the deal, according to a source. However, the Sixers are unwilling to do so.

> **The Pacers were interested in acquiring Harris during Thursday’s NBA draft. However, sources said they didn’t have enough assets to acquire him.** That probably won’t change, as Harris is scheduled to make $39.2 million in 2023-24, the final season of the five-year, $180 million deal he signed in 2019.

> Last week, sources told The Inquirer **the Sixers are overvaluing Harris and asking for “outrageous packages in return.” That goes in line with what a source said the Sixers told the Cavs what it would take days before the draft: A package of Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley, and a draft pick.**

    no way the sixers is serious about that

  2. Babushka5

    This is too absurd to be true cmon now

  3. CrazyTreePeople

    Might be the worst offer in history.

  4. lets_talk_basketball

    lmaooooooooo.. Sixers must refer to Joel as “Tobias harris” internally or something… because no way they’re talking bout #12

  5. JunesDepartmentStore

    Might be the most outrageous demand for a player of Harris’ skill level ever

  6. SanAntonioGramsci

    If that’s legit, Morey is higher than giraffe pussy.

  7. EarthWarping

    Tobias + another asset for Allen while an underpay isn’t crazy considering how Allen stunk it up in the playoffs.

    But that package is absolutely insane to ask for

  8. iamadragan

    Morey and Ainge just always following the strategy of making ridiculous demands until someone falls for it.

    And why the hell are the Suns going for Harris? He’s solid and could be a good shooter for us but solves none of our defense or rebounding issues. I’d rather have Ayton

  9. 99Will999

    Morey acting more delusional than a 6ers fan pulled off the street.

  10. Otherwise_Form1315

    Lol this is even more batshit insane than it looks at first. They acquired him Boban and Mike Scott from the Clippers for Mike Muscala, Landry Shamet, and Wilson Chandler with a protected first and an unprotected future first from miami.
    Since then, Tobias Harris has gotten worse and gotten a worse contract. Literally batshit insanity.

  11. workoutweeb

    Damn that Philly crack must be potent

  12. jfrodriguez1983

    Says we are showing interest in Tobias. Morey probably asking for Luka lol.

  13. ImTheOldManJenks

    Be for fuckin real lmao what the hell

  14. pskill43

    And this guy calls Masai “in la la land” regarding the Lowry trade

  15. rabid89

    > Sixers GM: Hello. I think you guys will find this offer very reasonable. Tobias Ha….

    > Other GM: *hangs up*

    > Sixers GM: Hello?

  16. DoctorAco

    That’s funny but I don’t doubt Morey anymore. They nabbed Harden for fucking Simmons, and I was pretty vocal that that trade woulxn’t happen.

    He doesn’t have to be smarter than everyone. He only has to be smarter than the guy he is talking too. And plenty of these GMs are dumb af.

  17. NicClaxtonIsHotAF

    I genuinely don’t know how to respond to this lmfao

  18. TheSmokedSalmon420

    There’s so few guys I’d trade Mobley for lmao

    I don’t even know if I’d do JA for Tobias straight up let alone throwing Evan in there

  19. Dicey12

    What are they smoking in Philly. Hey to get off this bad contract were just going to ask you for your frontcourt and a draft pick.

  20. RonsDarlings

    This is so fucking dumb. So they’re not going to trade him for Ayton because they don’t need a starting caliber big but will ask for two from Cleveland? Clown shit

  21. EnvironmentalAsk4246

    if you ask for a million dollars by the time the negotiation finishes you are down to tree fiddy

  22. Ricksauc3

    Tobias Harris ain’t worth a dog turd off the streets in New York, much less that package.

  23. jjkiller26

    Most reasonable daryl morey trade offer

  24. sitnkick20

    I would love to see the 76ers roll Embiid, Allen, and Mobley out there all at once and be like this is what we intended when we drafted Noel, Embiid, and Okafor.

  25. nova2006

    Jimmy Butler lol Tobias Harris over wat again

  26. _Zap_Rowsdower_

    Why would the Sixers want JA, Mobley, Embiid?

  27. BearlyLegal101

    There’s no way to get Mobley for Harris straight up, but if you add Allen and picks in, then remove them, maybe it feels like a discount for Cleveland.

    Solid move, Daryl.

  28. Punjabiveer30

    And mfs say masai is hard to deal with 😂

  29. beforetherodeo

    How can a GM take Morey seriously if this is real lmaoo goodness gracious

  30. jabbamarcusrussell

    Lol I don’t think the Cavs would do that for Embiid

  31. onepokemanz

    They got James harden for Ben Simmons

    Let them shoot their shot

  32. hshshahsbss

    Why are they acting like Tobias Harris is the second coming of MJ

  33. zeus_tha

    So they wouldn’t want Atyon, but they definitely wanted Ether Allen or Mobley, who All play center for Tobias Harris 😂

  34. BillyBean11111

    I would also like to trade someone my half eaten rotisserie chicken for a sportscar.

  35. IcyAd964

    Good shit morey, none of these teams have anything worth trading for.

    This sub don’t know shit that’s why people thought he should’ve taken cj for Simmons lmao

  36. ihatemcconaughey

    Once again Darryl Morey showing he has no clue what he is doing and how delusional he is.
