Since joining the Philadelphia 76ers in 2019, Tobias Harris has witnessed several changes and iterations within the team. Following another significant trade in which the Sixers acquired James Harden from the LA Clippers on Halloween morning, Harris shared his thoughts on the team’s future outlook.
In exchange for the All-Star guard, the Sixers received a package that included multiple draft picks and veteran players. After the Sixers secured a win over the Toronto Raptors, Harris was asked about the team’s plans moving forward in the wake of the trade. He expressed his well wishes to the departing players and emphasized the importance of maintaining a professional approach.
Harris stated, “We have a job as professional NBA players, and we go out there and play basketball. It’s as simple as that. James [Harden], P.J. [Tucker], and Filip Petrušev are all great individuals. P.J. [Tucker] brought his best every single night, and we wish them the best of luck in LA.”
Tobias Harris also shared his thoughts on the new additions to the team. He believes that the group of veteran players is bringing positive energy to the Sixers, and the team is actively working to make them feel at home. Harris emphasized that they’ve welcomed the newcomers and communicated that this is a place for them, underscoring the team’s shared goal and mission.
He continued by saying, “The new guys who came over, they’ve brought great energy and spirit. They want to be integrated into the team. I believe that all of them will contribute to our success in a significant way.” This positive outlook and welcoming approach bode well for the team’s chemistry and cohesion as they move forward with their new roster.
