Cleveland Cavaliers: 10 potential targets in 2019 NBA free agency

1. Tobias Harris

The Cleveland Cavaliers are desperate to find a suitable wing player to fill out their lineup. Cedi Osman is a semi-promising prospect, but a more established player might be needed to play alongside Collin Sexton and Darius Garland. The solution: Tobias Harris.

Showing signs of his future potential in a number of different moments, Harris broke out (again) as a premier scorer with the Los Angeles Clippers. His 20.9 points and 7.7 rebounds per game helped get the Clippers off to a hot start that they rode all season long.

Once he was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, his role was diminished a bit. No longer the main scoring option, Harris filled in nicely as a catch-and-shoot player that averaged 18.2 points per game on 46.9 percent shooting. The 76ers are obviously a better team than the Cavaliers, but perhaps Harris is more interested in playing a bigger role again.

By going to the Cavaliers, Harris would become one of their main scoring options. Playing a fast-paced brand of basketball, there is no doubt Harris would get plenty of good looks alongside two point guards and an All-Star forward in Kevin Love.

This deal makes perfect sense for Cleveland, though it’s admittedly a stretch for Harris himself. The Cavs will need a player that can score consistently throughout the season and Harris can be that guy if he considers a more unconventional free agency fit where he could be Option A.
