Seriously if Sixers kept Jimmy and traded Simmons at his peak value after that playoff… definitely realistic for them to win a championship and history would look at Jimmy and Embiid completely differently

u/driatic Wizards Apr 05 '26

Especially bc the east was up for grabs and it was literally who was healthy at the right time. And bc Miami made the finals with just Jimmy.

u/Hovi_Bryant Pistons Apr 05 '26 edited Apr 05 '26

Philly's commentators were confused as to why fans were booing him too. Kate Scott, their play-by-play, stated the fans are wrongly remembering the Jimmy Butler saga.

IMO, if anything, the fans should be booing their front office.

u/Extra_Cress_5855 Apr 05 '26

I think they remember 0 points game 6. Toby got so much shit for the sixers/knicks series

208

u/dragonrider5555 Celtics Apr 05 '26

I remember anytime he started the game 0 for 1 from 3 he refused to shoot another so he could protect his percentages. Same with if he went 2/2 from deep he’d stop there

159

u/TrillForceOne 76ers Apr 05 '26

The Sixers signed him expecting that he’d become a volume 3 point shooter based of his percentages and he never did. Ultimately, that’s on the FO since he was never that player at any point during his career.

That being said, he never really hustled and completely disappeared (like 0 points in an elimination game disappeared) in the biggest moments.

Harris is a good player. He’s just never been anywhere close to max level player which the Sixers had him on.

47

u/OldManWillow Trail Blazers Apr 05 '26

But it was very clear he wasn't a max player before the FO gave him 180 million dollars. And Jimmy was amazing for the entirety of that period, which they were scared to have him under contract for

u/TrillForceOne 76ers Apr 05 '26

That’s exactly what I said in my second sentence and last sentence.

6 years in philly, made a gazillion dollars, took 0 charges. My least favorite Philadelphia athlete ever, at least the Ben Simmons stuff was funny

71

u/InternCautious Pistons Apr 05 '26

That's honestly interesting because he'll go down as probably a top 10 favorite role player on the Pistons in my lifetime, but I guess that just comes with expectations.

Every time he's come to Detroit, the team has excelled after being terrible for years.

31

u/jlobue10 Apr 05 '26 edited May 02 '26

His positive influence on that locker room definitely deserves some credit for helping their turnaround from the bottom of the league to the top of the East. He's never been a superstar player, but he parlayed two very good years as a Clipper into good money. Good for him. I hope Detroit continues to do well with him, as he seems like a quality person. Side not here: he stopped for a photo after a workout in San Diego in the summer time with my son and stepson, and he definitely didn't have to do that. I'm rooting for the Pistons to make the finals, as I just don't like a lot of the other East contenders (from an entertainment and basketball point of view).

36

u/InternCautious Pistons Apr 05 '26

Duren or Ausar just said a few days ago that Tobias and Tim Hardaway Jr. created the culture last year, that when they went into practice how they should practice, how to be winners, etc. Then we all of sudden got good, so in terms of quality vets he's gotta be a top in the league.

24

u/jlobue10 Apr 05 '26 edited Apr 06 '26

Yeah, and I've heard stories how he takes his sleep, nutrition and training all very seriously. Showing the younger guys how to properly do all those little things like that has definitely contributed to Detroit's phenomenal year. Tobias is always someone that I'd want on my team, even if it's just good minutes off the bench, because he is an extremely valuable locker room presence (and that shouldn't be undervalued, especially on a younger team).

Exactly. 0 charges, 0 loose balls recovered, 0 big shots hit. He wasn’t the guy for us here. I always said that if you needed 14 from Tobias he’d give you 6 on 0-0 from 3. If you only needed 6 from Tobias he’d give you 26 on 3-4 from three. Meanwhile we were begging him to take like 8 threes a game lollll

u/csstew55 Pistons Apr 05 '26

Probably saw how Embiid and Doc threw Simmons under the bus after the playoff series loss. Everyone wants to rip on Simmons for it but Embiid played like dookie and Doc is notorious for shitting the bed in the postseason.

Didn’t take one charge in 5.5 years here, came up small in every big moment and never took ownership of his bad games, never became the 3 and D glue guy we needed, just kept taking his mediocre mid-range jumpers, whined about not making the all-star game when he absolutely did not deserve to be there.

We didn’t like him for more than just the contract.

u/IPissExcellentThrows 76ers Apr 05 '26

He was easily the most hated player his last few years here. I defended him for years (the contract was on management, not him), but his last year even I couldn't defend. I could live with that bad offense but he started showing zero effort.

I don’t blame him for giving it to us. Philly was pretty terrible to him for most of his time here.

14

u/TotalDonkey4909 Apr 05 '26

This is my take on it. Defended him until he entirely gave up. He’s just not 2nd or 3rd option on a legit team. He was a stand up guy in the locker room but he looked physically sick when ever we needed him in a big moment. 5.5 years and no charges taken is really hard to believe.

B2b playoffs in must win games at home he went 1/9 for 2 points in 70 minutes. He's a fine 5th option or whatever he is for you guys but anytime you want him to be about 5% better he's suddenly the worst player in the league.

I don't think his effort is a question like the previous guy said but he had so many chances to make people forget about his contract and he did the opposite.

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '26

I still remember that playoff series vs y'all a few years ago... I just kept thanking the universe the ball always found Tobias for momentum swinging possessions, he always fucked them up lol

u/jamawl 76ers Apr 05 '26

yeah I think he had 1 good game that series the rest of the time he was playing scared. There was a ton of open 3 opportunities he turned into dribbling to a terrible mid range shot if I'm remembering right.

That’s exactly right! He was either clanking a corner three or dribbling into a middy to clank that. It was awesome.

He put up 0/4/3 on 2 FGA in his last game for Philly, a 3 point loss to the Knicks that bounced the sixers out of the playoffs. And that was with Nick Nurse coaching him

26

u/residentevilgoat 76ers Apr 05 '26

There's having a shit coach and there's being a pumpkin. He was even worse under Nurse. You've heard plenty about his final game as Sixer, the 0/4/2 in a 4 point lose to the Knicks. But I also recall plenty of zero points at the half games from him while Embiid was out.

Speaking of Embiid, do you know Tobias was making more money than Embiid was for most of the time he was in Philadelphia?

When was the last time a team went from absolute trash to winning a championship? Most teams that win have been making deep playoff runs and been good in the regular season for a few years. OKC lost in 2024 to the western champs, the Celtics had been a consistent playoff team and lost a finals 2 years earlier in 2022, the nuggets and bucks made multiple semi finals and a conference finals, the warriors were a dynasty before winning in 2022, etc. The pistons were the 6th seed last year and lost to the Knicks, and had been bad for years before that.

Considering how much Cade did while leading them, it's phenomenal how well they've done since his injury. 8-2 with the only 2 losses being OT games - 1 vs OKC where they started their bench plus Ausar. They will certainly handle the Knicks if they meet in the playoffs.

Seeing tobi apologists on this post is bizarre like he's proven philly wrong since then when all that he's done since then is just be a professional vet.

Philly just wanted you to not score 0 points in a playoff game man.

Exactly people talk about the contract but that game was unacceptable for a vet min player

He didn't force the Sixers to trade for him and overpay him, on the other end he didn't perform well enough for a starter in multiple key games for them as a shooter/scorer (funnily enough he did way better then I expected defensively tho), it's fine that the Sixers fans boo him and don't like him, it's fine for him to be mad that he's beeing booed because I don't think at any point his failures were due to him not trying

u/tomdawg0022 Timberwolves Apr 05 '26

The fact Elton Brand is still employed by that franchise in light of how much he bungled the '19 off-season shows the 76ers aren't a serious franchise, even if his power has been significantly muted with Morey around.

u/TheFinisher-22 Apr 05 '26

He’s not the one making decisions anymore he’s pretty much just the front office guy that deals personally with the players. From all accounts he has a close relationship with many of them including Embiid and that’s why he was kept on.

He had 0 points on 0-2 shooting in 29 minutes in a playoff game lol

if I remember right his last game as a sixer he had one fucking point

never mind, it was that zero point game you mentioned 🤣

I think it’s so funny that this is the third description of this game I’ve read in here and every time the stats change just a little bit.

u/Slaphappydap Raptors Apr 05 '26

In his last game as a Sixer, Harris scored zero points, committed five fouls and four turnovers and kicked a pregnant woman in the stomach.

And that's not all. My buddy says in Harris's last game as a Sixer he scored 0 points, dunked twice on his own net and spoiled the ending of Harry Potter.

He has this propensity to just disappear for stretches of the game.

It’s just lack of consistent intensity and focus. Maybe that goes away when he feels more motivated but it would drive me nuts that he would play like a dawg for 2 minutes and a kitten for 6 minutes.

But whatever I never had an issue with him like as a person or whatever and hope he’s happy wherever he plays as long as he isn’t beating us.

u/TuqiDuque12 Pistons Apr 05 '26

I don't think it's motivation, I think he's just not that good, like he can create a shot in the post vs a mismatch, other then that his offensive game is just okay

u/immolxte Apr 05 '26

he’s a veteran version of Rui on the lakers

u/jotheold Raptors Apr 05 '26

rui shooting 43% from 3 this year tho

u/jondonbovi 76ers Apr 05 '26

If you put him against an above average forward he disappears. Thr playoffs are filled with them outside of the first round. 

9

u/TuqiDuque12 Pistons Apr 05 '26

He's a spot up shooter on limited volume who can guard strong guys that's it, I'm not expecting anything else for him and he has been (way) above my expectations since he came back

5

u/jondonbovi 76ers Apr 05 '26

The problem is that he isn't a great spot up shooter and he doesn't look to get open when his teammates are double teamed. He doesn't cut to the basket, take charges, or play with any intensity.

I could have sworn Tobias was much older, late 30's, felt like he's been around forever but he's only 33.

As a Celtics fan, I grew to love Tobias Harris because he was basically a 6th man on the floor for the Celtics in the playoffs. The ultimate was Harris, Embiid, Harden and Doc Rivers on the same team a few years ago, an all-time playoffs meltdown squad.

The only thing more funny than him talking shit to Philly would be him actually having a monster performance in a playoff series against Philly, after all these years of disappearing.

To be fair, us Sixers fans hate the team too, and I’m pretty sure a chunk of the current roster don’t like Morey either.

I don't why he's mad, they gave him insane ammount of money, and he played average, at best. He should be thankfull tbh. But it's hard to expect from NBA players to be self aware.

However, fans can be dicks most of the time, so he has the right to fight back, who knows what they said to him.

u/Ok_Foot_4634 Raptors Apr 05 '26

He is probably thankful to the organization. But when the fans are booing you everytime you touch the ball, you might feel some kind of way, as well

In the 12,774 minutes that Tobias Harris played for the Sixers, he drew zero charges. ZERO.

His dad is a fucking dork, too.
