James Herbert of CBS Sports wrote this week of Joe Harris, the longest-serving Net, the on-court constant and poster boy for the Nets development success, a castoff who was famously underwent surgery one morning in 2016 and came out of anesthesia only to find out he’d been traded and waived.
Herbert laid out the specifics of that six-year journey in a stream of numbers.
Eighty teammates later, Harris is 30, entering the second year of a four-year contract worth $72 million guaranteed. He is the only player in Brooklyn who has gone from playing off Brook Lopez and Jeremy Lin under Kenny Atkinson to playing off Kevin Durant and James Harden under Steve Nash.
