Is Joe Harris a serious target for the Chicago Bulls?

At 8-44, the Detroit Pistons have the worst record in the NBA this season. It’s been a constant struggle for the team to win consistently in 2023-24. At the deadline, Detroit made some moves and traded away Alec Burks and Bogdan Bogdanovic to the Knicks. The Pistons also got rid of some players who just were having a rough season. 

One of them is veteran sharpshooter Joe Harris. He signed a one-year, $19 million deal with Detroit but was waived last week. According to league sources, Harris might have a team with interest in adding him for the remainder of the season. Bulls insider K.C. Johnson reported that Chicago is monitoring Joe Harris. He could be a potential buyout candidate for the Bulls.

His three-point percentage was (.440) in his career with the Nets. Harris joined the Pistons this offseason and was not an effective player. In just 16 games this season, Harris averaged (2.4) points and (.333) percent from beyond the arc. A…
