Tobias Harris to Detroit...gross
Really gross.
"Tobias Harris and the Detroit Pistons agreed to a two-year, $52 million contract after leaving the Philadelphia 76ers, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski."
They're going to have a whole lot of hollow point scoring with him and Hardaway if they get minutes!
I like it. It helps give the team a bit more balance.
I did not like the idea as first when I saw them linked with T Harris yesterday but it grew on me as the day went on. I was going to make a post about last night but gave up. The reason I liked it was because they need an offensive minded forward. Someone who can shoot and spread the court. Their two young forwards Ron Holland & Ausar Thompson are too limited in terms of perimeter shooting. Tobias Harris will be a good complement to them and make things easier for them on the court.

T Harris is a good upgrade there in the forward slots. It allows everyone else to play in a more comfortable role. To have better team balance / team cohesiveness. It will allow those young frontcourt players to grow & develop in more appropriate roles for their stage of development.
That team could actually be watchable next year. 1st time in years DET has been watchable. Maybe since Blake Griffin was healthy and playing well there.
Clarification = I don't mean good. I mean watchable. As in not a complete eye-sore. You can actually sit down and watch them play and not want to throw up.
