NBA Rumors: Kings Could Be Interested in Tobias Harris If 76ers Need 3-Team Trade
January 21, 2024
As the Sacramento Kings look for a forward to play alongside De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, Tobias Harris' name has surfaced as a potential option.
Action Network's Matt Moore reported that the Kings would be interested in acquiring the veteran if the Philadelphia 76ers make a three-team trade to add another star. Sacramento would presumably take on the remainder of his expiring contract.
The Kings are also expected to explore the availability of Jerami Grant of the Portland Trail Blazers, Detroit Pistons sharpshooter Bojan Bogdanovic and defensive-minded forward Herb Jones of the New Orleans Pelicans.
Sacramento's front office has been active on the phones and reportedly discussed a trade with the Toronto Raptors involving All-Star power forward Pascal Siakam before he was dealt to the Indiana Pacers on Jan. 17, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. They were also interested in O.G. Anunoby before he was acquired by the New York Knicks, per Moore.
The 31-year-old Harris is averaging 17.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game while shooting 51.0 percent from the field and canning 37.2 percent of his triples.
Trading Harris could help acquire some depth if the front office doesn't plan on re-signing him, as Moore noted that the 76ers are interested in adding a backup point guard. This would provide a boost for Philadelphia's reserves, as the team owns the No. 29 scoring bench in the league.
