奥兰多魔术队迎来了他们去年最重要的自由球员之一。前丹佛后卫加里·哈里斯已经同意以2600万美元的两年合同重返球队。阿德里安·沃伊纳罗夫斯基首先在推特上报道了这笔交易

在加入魔术队之前，加里·哈里斯是丹佛掘金队在尼古拉·乔基奇执教的头几年里的关键人物。这位后卫是一名出色的无球威胁球员，他可以击倒三分，在篮筐完成比赛，并在另一端进行强硬的防守。他是贾马尔·默里和乔基奇的完美补充，他们正以明星或超级明星的身份出现。
不幸的是，在他的掘金职业生涯即将结束时，哈里斯开始遭受多处受伤。当他在季后赛重返赛场时，他看起来就像是一个空壳。他的防守根本不存在，他的投篮也没有掉下来。最终，哈里斯被交易到魔术队，作为交易的一部分。
在他在奥兰多的最后几个赛季，哈里斯已经慢慢开始恢复他过去的状态。在他第一个完整的替补赛季中，他的投篮命中率超过38%。哈里斯的防守能力也在突飞猛进中恢复，通常会让对手最好的边路球员上场。看到另一支球队试图给哈里斯一个机会，这并不奇怪。
魔术很喜欢他的表现，但是，给了他两年的延长期。我们将看看加里·哈里斯的救赎故事是否会在第二年继续按照目前的轨迹发展。

Gary Harris agrees to 2-year extension to stay with Magic

The Orlando Magic are welcoming back one of their most important free agents from last year. Gary Harris, the former Denver guard, has agreed to return to the team on a two-year, $26 million deal. Adrian Wojnarowski first reported this deal on Twitter

Before joining the Magic, Gary Harris was a vital cog for the Denver Nuggets in their first few years with Nikola Jokic. The guard excelled as an off-ball threat who can knock down threes, finish at the rim, and play hard-nosed defense on the other end. He was the perfect complement to Jamal Murray and Jokic, who were coming into their own as stars or superstars.
Unfortunately, towards the end of his Nuggets career, Harris started to suffer multiple injuries. When he did return to the court in the playoffs, he looked like a shell of himself. His defense was non-existent, and his shot just didn’t fall. Eventually, Harris was traded to the Magic as part of the deal for Aaron Gordon.
In his last few seasons in Orlando, Harris has slowly started to regain his past form. He shot a hair above 38% from the outside in his first full season off the bench. Harris’ defensive prowess has also come back in spurts, routinely taking their opponent’s best wing player. It wouldn’t have been surprising to see another team try to give Harris a chance.
The Magic liked his performance well enough, though, to give him a two-year extension. We’ll see if the Gary Harris redemption story will continue on it’s current trajectory in Year 2.
