Tobias Harris has been the subject of trade rumors this offseason, and fans in Philadelphia now have even more reason to root for the star forward to remain with the 76ers.
Several teams have contacted Philadelphia since the season ended to see if Harris is available. The Sixers are reportedly unwilling to trade the 30-year-old unless they are blown away by an offer. Harris seems to think 76ers fans are not as enthusiastic about him, however.
Harris told reporters this week that he believes some fans in Philly would “trade me for a Crumbl Cookie.”
For those who are unfamiliar with it, Crumbl Cookies is a dessert chain that specializes in fresh-baked cookies. Harris helped the franchise launch a location in Wynnewood, Penn., last year.
Now that Harris made the quip about Sixers fans, Crumbl Cookies is offering a free cookie to everyone in Philadelphia if Harris remains with the team.
It sounds like those free sweets are coming. Harris’ name was included in a rumor about a three-team blockbuster deal, but there is no reason to think that will come together. He should be bringing his 14.7 points per game back to Philly next season. The free cookies are a nice bonus.
