Two months ago The Post reported on Clippers star Tobias Harris’ longstanding relationship with Nets coach Kenny Atkinson, and how he should be a prime free-agent target.

Now other reports claim he’ll be just that.

According to former Post columnist Peter Vecsey’s Patreon website, “the Nets intently covet” the Long Island native.

This matches up with an earlier report in The Post that they’d be well-served to bring the Dix Hills, L.I., product back home. And Harris having known Atkinson from his days at Half Hollow Hills West High School wouldn’t hurt.

“His brother [Steve] coached at my high school. He coached my little brother [Tyler],” Harris said. “They have a big family, a couple times I ran into another one of the brothers he has. It’s not the biggest place. I know coach Kenny.”

And coach Kenny knows him and his ever-improving game.

After rejecting the Clippers’ five-year, $80 million extension offer in July 2018, Harris has bet on himself and is set to win big. After a 27-point game in Sunday’s win over the Spurs, he’s averaging 21.0 points and eight rebounds, shooting 50.2 percent overall and 44.3 from deep, seventh in the NBA.

With Harris’ 6-foot-9, 235-pound frame, the Nets’ five-out offense and revolving door at power forward, he seems like a perfect fit.

“I’m just focused on the team I put a jersey on every single night for,” Harris said. “I don’t think it’d be fair if my mind was somewhere else at this time.”

At this time.

Meanwhile, the Nets winning ways are getting noticed around the league and should make recruiting easier.

“Hopefully there’s really talk among players in this league,” Atkinson said. “You really want players to talk about that, like, ‘Hey, that’s a place I’d want to go.’ Now we have to keep that ball rolling if we want to keep improving.”

Atkinson addressed the importance of playing on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

“Nobel Peace Prize winner, champion of fighting racial inequality, what’s more important than that? So we’re honored to play on this day,” Atkinson said. “Our guys, our staff, it’s an absolute honor to play on such an important day.”

After being named Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the first time, D’Angelo Russell had a game-high 31 points against the Kings on Monday.

“It’s a blessing. I want to thank God for that, putting me in a position to do that, my teammates, the coaching staff. I want to keep going. It’s something you can appreciate right now, but we have bigger goals in mind,” Russell said.

When told that Atkinson had referred to his step-back 3s as “Harden-esque,” he replied, “Wow. That’s a word? First to have your coach have that trust and confidence in you, I think is a great feeling to have.”

Joe Harris added of Russell: “Everything we do offensively, he’s the lifeblood of us.”

Rodions Kurucs had 16 points on an efficient 7-of-10 shooting.

“Kurucs really hurt us and it was our first time seeing him, but it was layup, layup, layup first half,” Kings coach Dave Joerger said. “He’s a nice player. That was a very good pickup.”
