The other obvious potential gig for Harrison, especially if he wants to rehab his image for another job with an NBA team, is to work in media as a television analyst.
When you look at how many different broadcast partners the NBA has with its new media rights contracts that went into effect at the start of this season, it’s not hard to imagine at least one of the me opening up an analyst spot to add Harrison given his name recognition.
Even if Harrison can’t immediately land a job on television, he could start by making the media rounds as a podcast guest, doing radio hits and work his way up over the course of this season or possibly wait until the start of the 2026-27 season.
It’s really difficult to assess what path Harrison is going to take next because his entry into the NBA was so unique as someone with no experience in the league, despite working with many high-profile stars at Nike, and the fact that his resume will always be stained because of how badly—and swiftly—the biggest trade of his tenure as a general manager blew up in his face.
