Spurs: 3 Cheap sharpshooters to replace McDermott's hefty contract


2. Gary Harris, Orlando Magic
3P% in 2021-22: 38.4
Salary in 2021-22: $20.4 million (last year of Nuggets extension)
He might not still be producing as much as he was in his prime Denver Nuggets days, but Gary Harris is still very much a scoring threat in this league. Spurs fans might best remember Harris for his first-round performance in the 2019 NBA Playoffs against them, one in which he buried a blistering 46.7 of his trifectas.
Harris averaged 14.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in that series and pitched in an effective 41-minute Game 7 series to help Denver clinch the series. While his usual numbers are below that, his 37% mark from downtown over the last two years shows he still has an impressive outside stroke.
This season, Harris knocked down 38.4% of his 3-pointers on a career-high 5.0 attempts per game. Accuracy and quantity of threes are both areas in which the Spurs could stand to improve.
Defensively, Harris has always been well above average on-ball and would fit in nicely with the growing number of two-way wings on the roster.
ok Gary ?@thats_G_ goes coast-to-coast ?

Not much has been speculated so far about what Harris could command in free agency, but it certainly shouldn't be expected to be anywhere near the $20.4 million he made in the final year of his extension considering his age and production.
