Unfortunately, there is a threat lurking in the San Antonio Spurs.
According to The Stein Line, the Spurs have $15 million to spend on a free agent forward, and they have their eyes on multiple players.
Tobias Harris is among a group of targets, which includes Sandro Mamukelashvili, Dean Wade, Rui Hachimura, and John Collins.
