The Philadelphia 76ers only signed Tobias Harris back in January, although his impending free agency puts his future with the team in doubt. A number of teams are believed to be monitoring the 26-year-old, and Brian Lewis of the NY Post is reporting that the Nets are among the contenders for Harris' signature:

The Post reported Brooklyn’s interest in bringing Long Islander Tobias Harris back home in free agency months ago. Now their competition for the sweet-shooting stretch four is finally coming into focus.
Harris was dealt to Philadelphia at the trade deadline, and against the Nets in the playoffs he averaged 17.6 points and 8.8 points on red-hot 50 percent shooting from deep to help end their postseason. Sources have told The Post if the Nets can’t land Kevin Durant they would love to have Harris on their side next season.

The Sixers are believed to be keen to retain Harris, although reports have also claimed that they are reluctant to hand him a long-term max deal.
