Gary Harris will draw interest from plenty of teams in free agency as a veteran 3-and-D wing.
Harris is expected to receive around the taxpayer mid-level exception.

More on this storyline
Two-way veterans like Alec Burks, Gary Harris, Talen Horton-Tucker and Saddiq Bey (among others) are of interest, but Bey’s restricted free agency makes things difficult. Free agent Eric Gordon is “50-50” on a return to Phoenix, according to a source close to the veteran guard, but is also interested in a Rockets reunion. -via New York Times / June 20, 2024
This doesn’t mean the Pistons will simply punt on free agency. It is possible they do decide to use their cap space to acquire bad contracts and assets, fill in around the margins and run it back with another youth-heavy group. While I do believe that should have been the plan of attack the last few years, it feels too late in the rebuilding process for that to take place now, even though Langdon just arrived. It’s equally as possible, and I believe even more likely now, that Detroit uses its cap space to bring in a few proven players — someone like Malik Monk, Gary Harris and/or Nic Claxton for example — to raise the team’s floor, while allowing young players like Thompson, Ivey, Duren and the rookie to be important pieces in the rotation and develop without being relied upon to produce every single night at the level it takes to be a successful ballclub. -via New York Times / June 18, 2024
A couple months ago after a team practice, Magic guard Admiral Schofield approached Carter about a real estate play which would allow him to earn a piece of the revenue generation of a new medical-related facility in Portland. It’s an opportunity for Carter to join other NBA players who are considering the proposal. He’s planning on working alongside Schofield as both a teammate and business partner. This also goes for another fellow teammate in Magic guard Gary Harris, who is having ongoing conversations with Carter about investing in a marijuana dispensary chain based in Arizona. “That’s the name of the game right now,” Carter said. “Guys are more hands-on now. You hear the horror stories of back in the day of [players] giving all their financial decisions and access to someone else, which [led] to stories of people stealing money and things like that. That’s a part of it. Guys are not only more hands on but want to find more ways to make money.” -via Sportico / June 13, 2024
