People close to Philadelphia 76ers small forward Tobias Harris reportedly view the Brooklyn Nets as a “strong destination” for Harris, according to Ian Begley of SNY.

Harris becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer. The Nets have cap space to sign two max contract players this offseason.

The Sixers acquired Harris from the Los Angeles Clippers at the February trade deadline. The talented swingman averaged 18.2 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 27 regular-season games with Philly while shooting 46.9 percent from the field, 32.6 percent from beyond the arc and 84.1 percent from the free-throw line.
