94WIP's Ike Reese defended Tobias Harris' controversial comments on Tuesday night tweeting, "Where is the lie?"
"Casual Sixers fans, they’ll trade me for a Crumbl Cookie. But at the end of the day, they have to realize that you’re not getting a 6-9 forward back who can damn near shoot 40 percent from three, guard the other team’s best player, shoot, post up, drive and play 70 plus games a year."
The explosive comments were in relation to all of the trade rumors surrounding Harris, who is in the final year of a five-year, $180 million max contract where he is set to make $39 million in 2023-24.
The bloated contract Harris signed shortly after he came to Philadelphia in 2019 has created heightened expectations and some tension between Harris and the Sixers fan base.
"I believe we have the right talent to be a championship team and we have the right pieces and the right culture," Harris added. "With a new coach, I’m excited for what we’re going to bring to the table."
