The Philadelphia 76er could be on the way out this summer, potentially opening up the door for a pairing with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
With a lot of scrutiny for not living him up to his annual $30 million annual salary and constant role changes in the lineup, the 31-year-old never really got comfortable during his six seasons there, especially the last couple. Finally entering free agency for the first time since 2019, all signs are pointing towards him finding a new home.Although his production has started to dip in recent years, the veteran still had a solid campaign last season of 17.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.
The idea of pairing another center with Holmgren isn't a ridiculous one, but it might make more sense to let the 22-year-old continue to develop as the primary five instead of potentially crowding the paint. Harris wouldn't make him have to change his play style since he's a perimeter player, but he'd still make a significant impact on helping some of the Thunder's issues.
This season's playoffs weren't kind to the forward, however, only averaging nine points per game on weakened efficiency in six games. He could've been considered a near non-factor in the series, which played a part in Philadelphia's series loss to the New York Knicks. Oklahoma City would obviously want more out of him if it were to sign him, but his role might also be less significant.
