Michael Scotto: Looking ahead to the offseason, Detroit could have up to $60 million in cap space if they decline Evan Fournier’s team option and let go of Troy Brown. Everyone is looking for them to do what the Houston Rockets did a summer ago and spend all their cap space available. From what I’ve heard, plan A is not to go the Houston route and spend all the cap space money they have in free agency. There’s a possibility Detroit will look to sign a free agent like Tobias Harris or Miles Bridges, two guys that will certainly be on their radar heading into the offseason, and then use the remaining cap space to potentially acquire a player in a trade. Whether it’s Detroit or other teams around the league, they’re all monitoring playoff teams that fail to meet expectations and could either make a change to shake things up or a star player on one of those teams becomes disgruntled and wants out.

I caught up with Tobias Harris this morning at shootaround and he told me he watched a lot of film to find ways to be aggressive on the offensive end #Sixers sixerswire.usatoday.com/2024/04/22/six… via @SixersWire – 1:17 PM

More on this storyline
On the flip side, Harris has always been a rhythm player. Always. He is not going to demand the ball or disrupt any of the team’s offensive sets. He has always been a guy who will play within what the team wants to do and then take advantage of his opportunities. That’s why a film session is important in this instance: to find more opportunities. “At the end of the day, though, for myself personally, watch the film and figure out areas where you think you could be a little bit more aggressive and whatnot and try to get some things going, but I’ve always been a player that takes what the game is giving to me,” he continued. “I’m not out there passing up shots.” -via Sixers Wire / April 22, 2024
James Edwards: I think they could do a significant roster overhaul through a combination of trades and signing B-level talent in the offseason. I know the notion in Detroit (from fans) is that if they sign Tobias Harris, they’re going to give him a max, and I’m not sure that’s the case. I think you could give him bigger money, but shorter years, which would allow him to go out into the market one more time to try and get more money. I don’t think they’re going to max anyone they bring in during free agency. -via HoopsHype / April 22, 2024
That performance sent Harris to the film room to sit down and figure out ways he can be better in this series moving forward. “Obviously, you gotta take what the game gives you,” said Harris at shootaround on Monday morning. “For somebody like me, you sit down, you watch the film, you see if there’s different areas out there that you can be more aggressive, but for the most part, just evaluating.” -via Sixers Wire / April 22, 2024
