\n So far, new Nets coach Steve Nash has been coy about his coaching staff and playing style. But both he and Joe Harris seem clear on one thing: They each want to see the free agent back in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Harris \u2014 an unrestricted free agent \u2014 said during the season he hoped to stay in Brooklyn, and GM Sean Marks called retaining him a \u201ctop priority.\u201d Harris confirmed meeting with both Nash and Marks, and the newly hired coach expressed a desire to keep the sharpshooter in a Net uniform.<\/p>\n

\u201cI met with him the other day, grabbed a coffee with him and Sean. First time I met Steve,\u201d Harris told \u201cThe JWilly Show\u201d podcast. \u201cHis reputation obviously across the league is incredible. Everybody that\u2019s ever played with him, everybody that\u2019s ever been around him, nothing but good things, and that\u2019s exactly how he was in person, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou add that into the mix too, you have a coach like Steve Nash \u2014 and I\u2019m excited to see the staff he assembles \u2014 but factor that with what Brooklyn\u2019s already got going on and it obviously makes it a very appealing place.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe obviously knows I\u2019m a free agent. I\u2019m one of the few guys on the team in this situation right now where I am a free agent. And he just talked about how he felt about me as a player and wanted me to come back and be in Brooklyn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nash didn\u2019t address Harris at his introduction, but implied he\u2019d like to re-sign the former 3-point champ.<\/p>\n

\u201cI expect the core to be there, I\u2019m planning on this core being there, but in the NBA you have to be adaptable and know that anything can happen,\u201d Nash said. \u201cSo I\u2019m planning around this group. \u2026 I\u2019m thrilled with this roster.\u201d<\/p>\n

So is Harris. He said back in February he wants to come back to play alongside Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, and reiterated it on the podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy ideal scenario is to come back to Brooklyn,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is where I was afforded the opportunity. I\u2019ve spent the last four years here. I love living here, I love being here, I love what the Nets are about. The organization as a whole is second to none across the league in terms of our reputation, how they treat the players. It\u2019s a first-class operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then at the end of the day too, when you look at the roster, we have a unique situation where we really can look at the roster and say we have an opportunity to play for a championship and you can\u2019t say that about a lot of teams. So you combine all that, the ideal situation is for me to stay in Brooklyn.\u201d<\/p>\n

That will be easier said than afforded.<\/p>\n

The Nets are committed to a dozen players for $132 million, taking into account the salary cap and luxury-tax threshold. That includes Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot\u2019s non-guaranteed $1.8 million deal, but not the $5 million team option on Garrett Temple, who has also expressed a desire to return. Or Harris.<\/p>\n

With Harris having just finished a two-year, $16 million deal, the expectation around the league is he will get a raise. Former Nets assistant GM Bobby Marks \u2014 now with ESPN \u2014 estimated that with a Harris starting salary of $12.2 million, along with the current roster and keeping the 19th pick, the franchise would pay a $50 million tax.<\/p>\n

Nets owner Joe Tsai has said he will pay the tax if needed, and his actions bear that out after forking over $500 million in player contracts, social<\/a> justice initiatives and community assistance. Still, that would be among the five highest tax payments in league history.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou never know how things shake out, the nature of the NBA sometimes it\u2019s a tough one in terms of keeping everyone around,\u201d Harris said. \u201cBut if the roster were to stay as it is right now, there\u2019s a lot of talent and a lot of depth.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
