Joe Harris

When the Brooklyn Nets signed Joe Harris last summer, Marks began to turn some heads around the league. Other personnel around the league saw that Brooklyn was now looking for talent that had been overlooked by other teams. The Nets did so by signing under-the-radar players to smart contracts.

Harris was immediately was waived by the Orlando Magic upon being traded by Cleveland. This is when Marks stepped in and signed the Virginia product to a two-year deal, in which the second year is non-guaranteed.

MUST READ: RHJ’s move to power forward was successful

After suffering an injury in a March matchup against the Utah Jazz, Harris missed the remainder of the season and finished only having played just 52 games. He averaged 8.2 points per game on 42 percent shooting on the season, but just wasn’t very consistent when he saw playing time.

That isn’t to say Harris wasn’t good for the Nets this season. In fact, he was just that — good. Nothing more, nothing less.

With all that said, Harris is a guy that certainly can return to the Brooklyn Nets next season, but that doesn’t exactly mean he will or even fit well if he does. Don’t expect Harris back next season if the Nets end up grabbing multiple free agents and keeping both of their first-round draft picks.

Verdict: Harris gets waived
