everybody's whipping boy, Tobias Harris almost did it last year (at pretty high volume). Not to take anything away from him, but I think environment is important. Simmons and Luka create the most wide open shots in the league, by a large margin, and Tobias has struggled this year (without Simmons)...credit also for having to quadruple team Embiid.
Harris was by far most undervalued good player on Orlando in last 10 years.
People hated him because they were fixated on idea that Gordon is next star and Harris is "stealing shots" from him.
Hennigan giving up Harris for the corpses of Brandon Jennings and Ersan Ilyasova and not even getting a 1st was absolutely criminal, and it wasn’t even the worst move he ever made. We had so many mouths to feed on offense back in those days and he always picked the wrong ones to keep.
Few years back when there was voting for worst trade we made, Oladipo trade won,but i voted for Harris trade.
Oladipo trade at least had some far-fetched chance not being awful, if Ibaka wasn't already on decline and could expend his game.
Harris trade was just salary dump of player who wasn't overpayed and was young (22) and promising. Harris never become star or allstar but for decade now he is very good starter and not far off from allstar type player. Hell, nowdays he is one of most expensive nba players. Good for him.
