Devin Harris To Portland This Summer?

[A-Train (old)]

This is from Bill Ingram from Hoopsworld who covers the Trailblazers after someone asked him what is Portland going to do with the point guard position this year:

I've heard some discussion that the Blazers could acquire Devin Harris this summer, he makes a lot of sense for Portland, and no sense for the style of play the Jazz are accustomed to.

I would absolutely love it if the Jazz traded Devin Harris to Portland and somehow got Wes Matthews back in return, obviously it would take some more assets because the salaries don't match up.

Do they even have a general manager yet?

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

If we drafted Knight and did this for Wes, that would be phenomenal. We'd still need a longer 3 and Singleton would make a ton of sense at 12 then.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I doubt we would be getting Wes either, maybe someone like Batum? I don't know why the would trade Wes with Roy's questionable health.

There could be some truth to this. The day the D-Will trade went down I remember hearing some reports that Devin Harris may have been headed to Portland via Utah but it didn't work out.

It would be a huge Coup for the Utah Jazz to get Wes Matthews back. KEK just mentioned how nice it would be to reacquire Matthews as well as picking Knight and Singleton. The thought of that exact scenario taking place makes me pee a little.

Andre Miller and Batum for Harris works.

It can be assumed they would want to move Miller if they got Harris, and if we draft someone like Knight it would be wise to have a good veteran PG on the squad.

Getting Batum would also satisfy everyone's obsession with keeping Hayward a SG.

 

[Shaggy]

No way Portland lets Wes go. I bet they make this offer to the Jazz.

Sam Bowie,Greg Oden & Brandon Roy for Devin Harris and mini Bear.

Or we could go with Utah Jazz tradition and ask for the supremely white Luke Babbit instead.

Ahhh, the possibilities. We could have the whitest back-court in this history of the NBA since segregation was outlawed if we drafted Jimmer. Jimmer-Hayward-Babbit. Then we could add to that by drafting Kanter. We could start Jimmer-Hayward-Babbit-Kanter-Okur. The Irish/Scottish and Turkish line up of death.
