The Nets are trading Joe Harris to the Detroit Pistons, multiple reports confirm.
Set to make $19.9 million in 2023-24, SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley reported earlier on Friday that Brooklyn was looking to trade the 31-year-old in order to shed salary to be able to retain Cam Johnson who is believed to land a significant deal this offseason.
Harris spent seven seasons in Brooklyn and played in 432 games (282 starts). The guard/forward averaged 11.6 points in 26.9 minutes per game and was a strong perimeter threat on the court, shooting 44 percent from deep.
He led the league in three-point percentage in 2018-19 (47 percent) and 2020-21 (48 percent), but saw his minutes and production drop last season, averaging 7.6 points in 20.6 minutes per game — both career lows with the Nets.
Brooklyn is also sending Detroit a 2027 second-round pick via the Dallas Mavericks and a 2029 second-round pick via the Milwaukee Bucks.
