NEW YORK — The Joe Harris era in Brooklyn is coming to an end.
The Nets are dumping the sharpshooter’s $20 million salary in a deal with the Detroit Pistons just hours ahead of the NBA’s Friday 6 p.m. free agency kickoff. To sweeten the deal, the Nets added a 2027 second-round pick via Dallas and a 2029 second-rounder from Milwaukee.
The Nets did not receive a player back in the deal but they will receive a $19.9 million trade exception that they can use to acquire a player without sending any outgoing salary.
