Orlando Magic: 25 Best Players To Play For The Magic
By Phil Watson
The Orlando Magic landed promising forward Tobias Harris in a February 2013 trade with the Milwaukee Bucks along with guards Doron Lamb and Beno Udrih and cash in exchange for free-agent-to-be J.J. Redick, big man Gustavo Ayon and guard Ish Smith.
Harris emerged as one of the most exciting prospects for the Magic afterward, getting the first regular playing time of his career after the deal and putting up 17.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.4 blocks in 36.1 minutes per game over the final 27 games of the season.
He battled injuries the next two seasons, but averaged a career-high 17.1 points per game in 2014-15.
Harris signed a four-year, $64 million contract in July 2015to remain with Orlando as a restricted free agent.
However, he was dealt to the Detroit Pistons on Feb. 16, 2016, in exchange for Brandon Jennings and Ersan Ilyasova.
In parts of four seasons with the Magic, Harris averaged 15.6 points and 7.0 rebounds in 33.2 minutes per game, shooting .463/.320/.784.
Harris was selected 19th overall in the 2011 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Bobcats out of Tennessee and was traded to the Bucks on draft night as part of a three-team deal that included the Sacramento Kings.
