Tobias Harris is a good player. In fact, he’s one of the better players in the league. Nevertheless, Harris’ father Torrel Harris, who also happens to be his agent, doesn’t believe Tobias has been properly utilized by the Philadelphia 76ers, per Dave Early of SB Nation’s Liberty Ballers. “Personally, I don’t think so,” Torrel responded […]

James Harden’s free agency remains one of, if not the most pressing matter in the Philadelphia 76ers’ offseason. Harden, for all his faults, remains one of the best playmakers in the NBA today.
