Joe Harris

The only problem with a potential Joe Harris signing is the cost. Harris would be the quintessential addition for Golden State as he’s proven to be one of the NBA’s best shooters, rivaling even Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

The 6-foot-6 forward averaged a career-high 14.5 points per game last season. He’s averaged double figures in each of the last three seasons, finally finding success in the NBA after a slow start to his career.

Having averaged a league-best 47.4 percent from deep last season, Harris followed it up by making over 42 percent of his attempts from deep this season.

At 29, Harris isn’t just an elite shooter. He is a competent defender and playmaker as well. It’s also nice to note his addition wouldn’t necessarily hurt the team as he’s a small forward and can guard those at the position.

That said, Harris likely will be looking for far more than $6 million, and at that point, he’d out-price the Warriors.
