Former Pistons guard Chauncey Billups, ESPN:
Love it!! I think Tobias is a potential All-Star in
our league.
Bill Simmons, HBO:
Liked the move by Detroit to snare Tobias Harris for
2 expiring (contracts). He’s a gamer. Weird move by Orlando unless a 2nd one is
coming.
Chris Mannix, Yahoo:
(Reggie) Jackson and Harris are signed long term,
with (Andre) Drummond right behind them. What a job SVG has done building an
enviable young core in Detroit.
Tim Bontemps, Washington Post:
I really like this
trade for Detroit. Harris is right in the same age range as the rest of Pistons
core, and with a declining deal, too.
Zach Lowe, ESPN:
The Pistons are building a team that can switch at
least 2-3-4 on D for most of every game. Detroit sacrifices some cap space, but
can look at Harris essentially as a free agency signing they lock in without
bidding under higher cap.
Sam Amick, USA Today:
A move that will make the Eastern Conference playoff
race more interesting.
David Aldridge, NBA.com:
Detroit gets athletic 3/4 in Harris who’ll pair
nicely with KCP (Kentavious Caldwell-Pope) and Stanley Johnson at both ends —
potentially sick shooting/switching combos.
