Kings did due diligence on Tobias Harris
Marc Stein: Sacramento was doing some due diligence on Tobias when it was out there that there could be a deal that involved both Ben and Tobias and I know not this week but earlier this month that I did hear from some teams that suggested that they saw Sacramento as the only team that could realistically get Daryl to move off of his patience stance on Ben because there were indications that the Kings would be willing to take Tobias on if it meant getting Ben now. The Kings have sent so many mixed messages lately.

We talk way too much that quick decisions lead to success for Tobias Harris. I mean, that’s true, obviously, but it’s also true for most players.
I think it’s much more that success leads to quick decisions from Tobias. And, on the flip side, a slump leads him to hesitate. – 7:36 AM

Tobias Harris: “Tyrese, he really works his tail off. … He’s a gym rat.”
Harris said he thinks Maxey’s biggest area of growth this year is his poise. – 10:15 PM

Tobias Harris (@Tobias Harris) on @Matisse Thybulle:
“He just goes out there and embraces his role to the fullest. He’s really making some spectacular plays. Those plays he makes are huge for us, and timely as well…
[He can] shift the whole atmosphere in the arena in the game.” – 10:12 PM

Tobias Harris (23 pts, 5 reb, 4 ast), on battling being sick (non-COVID illness) today, and still pushing through in the @Philadelphia 76ers win:
“If I can go out and give the team something, I’m going to go out and do it.” –@Tobias Harris – 10:09 PM

Sixers beat the Lakers, 105-87. They are 29-19. Joel Embiid’s worst game in a while sees him go for 26-9-7-2-1.
Tobias Harris: 25-5-4-2 on 10-15 shooting. He’s playing much better as of late.
Four steals and a block for Matisse Thybulle. – 9:49 PM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Lead got down to 12 and Tobias Harris settled things down with a couple of buckets and assists to Matisse Thybulle. That’s exactly what the Sixers need from him.
Thybulle struggled the other night after coming back from the shoulder injury. Not tonight. – 9:36 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Joel Embiid only has 13 points and Philly has a 67-58 lead. The others have stepped up in a big way in this one. Tobias Harris has 14 and Tyrese Maxey has 12. #Sixers – 8:55 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Davis (8 points on 4-of-6 shooting) and Embiid (6 points on 2-of-5 shooting) are aggressive early. But so is Tobias Harris, who has 7 quick points on 3-of-3 from the floor after entering tonight questionable with a non-COVID illness. Sixers lead 18-14. – 7:46 PM
Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
Tobias Harris (who was questionable today due to a non-COVID illness) in his first 7 minutes tonight:

Good to see Tobias Harris continuing to be aggressive. He’s off to a good start and making quick decisions on offense. #Sixers – 7:45 PM

Tobias Harris (illness) will indeed start against the LeBron-less Lakers.

Sources: 76ers & Hawks briefly discussed a trade of Ben Simmons & Tobias Harris for John Collins, Bogdan Bogdanovic & Danilo Gallinari, but talks stalled with Atlanta unwilling to take Harris. More on Simmons, James Harden & Domantas Sabonis on @Jorge Sierra. hoopshype.com/lists/nba-trad… – 4:43 PM
More on this storyline
The 76ers and Hawks briefly kicked around a trade of Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris for John Collins, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Danilo Gallinari, league sources told HoopsHype. However, those talks stalled quickly, with Atlanta uninterested in Harris and unlikely to be able to flip him to a third team. -via HoopsHype / January 26, 2022
Competing executives still think the Kings would move De’Aaron Fox for Simmons, but the prospect of moving Fox and taking in Harris is a nonstarter. -via Bleacher Report / January 25, 2022
Last week, the Atlanta Hawks considered sending John Collins, Cam Reddish, and a first-round pick to the Sixers in exchange for Simmons, according to sources. However, the talks stopped after Harris’ name was brought into the deal. “There’s no way that kind of deal is going to happen,” a source said. “There’s maybe one [team] on a stretch that can take back Tobias. But I just think it’s a long shot.” -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / January 24, 2022
