Ever since signing a 5 year, 180-million-dollar contract with the Sixers back in 2019, many have called it one of the worst contracts in the NBA, and one that severely limited the Sixers flexibility in cap. He was taking up a bunch of cap space, and his contract was so big that few teams would be willing to trade for him.

However, this is Harris’ last year in the deal, making him an expiring player. He’s due just over 39 million for this season, and re-building teams or teams looking to increase their cap greatly in the next off-season may have interest in trading Harris. On the Sixers part, they could trade Harris for a few young role-players to help with their roster. And for those of you that think that this is unlikely to happen: the Lakers were able to pull this off when they traded away Westbrook following the deadline.

So given that Harris is now on an expiring contract, does that make him a valuable trade asset?

      no NBA contract/player is un-tradeable

      This has been my belief ever since seeing Joe Johnson get traded in 2012, with 4 years left of what was considered an albatross contract
