If we got the GS pick, then it makes more sense. We take Lillard or Marshall. Get someone else later on for Harris as you mentioned. But I still think we could get a little more. I also think they'd be happier with Collison and re-signing Hill. Or simply go hard after Deron.
OR we package the two picks and Al for MKG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love tough-nosed, gritty, defensive-minded guys who bring passion and leadership. Sorry.
The point to carrying Harris is to let him expire and/or recoup value for him at the deadline in the event we're not making the playoffs. If another team offered to absorb his whole salary and give us a high 20's pick (something I very much doubt), I still wouldn't do it unless there was a plan in place to sign a PG who was at least comparable to Harris.
But the problem is there aren't guys on the market that I've seen who would be worth the longterm salary commitment. So unless you're going to bag a Chauncey or some other one year solution, we're better off living with Harris for another year.
^^^ yep.
Harris to the Phoenix Suns for Jared Dudley and next year's 2nd round pick.
Suns get a PG to replace Nash, Jazz get swingman with a legit 3 point shot. Suns will be under the cap so they can absorb the extra salary while relieving a 4 year committment to Dudley
The 1st is probably too much to ask for being it will most certainly be lottery. But the second round pick may be around 32-35. Could be a nice pick up.
^^^ wtf is your sig pic? I've seen it a million times, but never thought to ask .. damn, what is it?
-Trade Harris to Lakers for Odom TPE and Darius Morris (or not, who cares).

A bundle of fresh sage
hmmm.. I was under the impression that this wouldn't work.
Harris' salary drops to $8.5 mil next year for some reason, the Odom TPE is $8.9 mil.
