After his current contract ends, Tobias Harris will have made $250,549,880 in NBA money, per Spotrac. That's a lot of cash for a guy who has been traded four times in his career.
Harris began his NBA career with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2011. He has since played for the Orlando Magic, Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers.
Tobias Harris made $1,141,446 during his rookie season with the Bucks. He averaged 5.0 points in 11.4 minutes per contest. The New York native didn't get a chance to enjoy the Milwaukee scene, as he was traded to the Magic during the 2012-13 season. Harris made $1,482,000 that year.
To finish out the last two years of his rookie deal, Harris made $1,545,840 in Year 3 and $2,380,594 in Year 4. The talented wing averaged 17.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists in Year 4, setting him up for a nice payday in restricted free agency during the offseason of 2015.
The Magic signed Tobias Harris to a four-year, $64 million contract. However, the team traded the swingman seven months later to the Pistons. Harris made $10,635,294 from Orlando and $5,364,706 from Detroit during the 2015-16 campaign.
In 2016-17, Tobias Harris averaged 16.1 points per game and made $17.2 million from the Pistons. That was his first and only full season in Detroit. The Motor City franchise traded Harris to the Clippers during the 2017-18 season for Blake Griffin. Tobias made $9,491,525 from the Pistons that season and $6,508,475 from the Clippers.
During the summer of 2018, the Clippers offered Tobias Harris an $80 million contract extension. However, the small forward declined it because he knew he could get more money on the open market once he became a free agent in the offseason of 2019.
At the 2019 trade deadline, the Clippers traded Harris to the Sixers. He made $9,448,588 from Los Angeles in 2018-19 and $5,351,412 from Philadelphia. Harris averaged 18.2 points per game after joining the Sixers.
In the summer of 2019, Tobias Harris' decision to decline that extension from the Clippers paid off. He signed the richest deal in Sixers franchise history. The 6-foot-8 forward agreed to a five-year, $180 million deal with Philly.
Harris was set to make $32,742,000 in 2019-20 before games were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Moving forward, the Sixers' starting forward is scheduled to make $34,358,850 in 2020-21, $35,995,950 in 2021-22, $37,633,050 in 2022-23 and $39,270,150 in 2023-24.
