The Detroit Pistons announced on Thursday that the team has acquired guard/forward Joe Harris, along with future draft considerations, from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for cash considerations.
Harris, who signed a four-year, $75 million deal with the Nets in 2020, is on an expiring contract and will make $19.9 million next season.
Last season with the Nets, Harris, 31, averaged 7.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in 20.6 minutes per game while shooting 45.7% from the field and 42.6% from 3-point range.
Harris averaged 11.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.7 assists over his last seven seasons in Brooklyn and helped the Nets to the NBA Playoffs in each of the previous five seasons. The nine-year veteran led the NBA in 3-point field goal percentage in 2019 (.474) and 2021 (.475) and is the Nets’ all-time leader in 3-point field goals made.
Drafted 33rd overall by Cleveland in the 2014 NBA Draft, before going to the Nets, Harris played two seasons for the Cavaliers.
Harris is a terrific shooter and should give Detroit some solid shooting off the bench.
