When the Detroit Pistons signed Tobias Harris in July, it was a move panned by many.
It was too much money. Too long of a contract. Too mid of a player.
It was a boring addition because we’ve been down the road with Tobias in Detroit.
But it was an extremely important move.
First, it represents a rare instance of a starting-level player truly wanting to be in Detroit — especially after the hellish 2023-24 season. Sure, his wife Jasmine played a part in their return home as a native, but Harris was a good player last time around and, if not for the Blake Griffin trade that sent him to LA, he might have continued to be that in Detroit.
