Tobias Harris shades ‘casual’ 76ers fans: ‘They’ll trade me for a Crumbl cookie’

Tobias Harris has been at the center of NBA trade rumors this offseason and he appears to have had enough of all the noise — especially from one part of the 76ers’ fan base. 

Speaking at a basketball camp and merchandise event at the ꧋Wells Fargo Center, Harris addressed the trade rumors head-on, and with a bit of humor.

“C🍒asual Sixers๊ fans, they’ll trade me for a Crumbl cookie,” Harris . 

Later in the nigh♔t, Harris had a message for Crumbl.

“Salute @CrumblCookies,” with a smiling face. “I didn’t mean to put any disrespek on your name,” followed with a cookie and wink emojis.

“But at the end of the day, they have to realize you’re not getting a 6-foot-9 forward back w💫ho can damn near shoot 40 percent from 3, guard other teams’ best player, shoot, post-up, drive, play 70-plus games a year.” 

Though Harris, 30, had a fine 2022-23 campaign on paper, averaging 14.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, he was often overlooked as the 76ers turned t🥀o James Harden and Joel Embiid in the power forward position.

The sharpshooter also went 50.1⛄ percent from the field and 38.9 percent from beyond the 3-poin🐈t arc.

And given all that, Harris’ dad — and manager — Torrel Harris said the 76ers aren’t util🐷izing his son’s skills enough. 

“The reason I say that, well Tobias is⭕ an assassin scorer. I mean they can’t stop him,” .

“Nobody in the league can stop him. So he’s proven that over his career even when he was𒆙 with the Clippers he was an assassin scorer.”

But Harris said he didn’t agree with his dad’s vi✤ew on the matter. 

“I’ve also told him that as a dad and agent, not to speak f♑or me when it comes to the media because obviously, he has his ꩵviewpoint on that, but that’s not the way I feel,” Harris said on Tuesday .

Entering the final year of a five-𓄧year deal, Harris has been the subject of trade rumors, including with the Cavs before the NBA Draft, though Philadelph🧸ia likely will hang onto him heading into the 2023-24 season, .

The 76ers are coming off a third consecutive season of♋ getting bounced in the second round of the NBA playoffs after losing to the Celtics thisꦑ year.
