Harris' value (as I see it)

Wow krazyeyezkilla we agree on something. Now I am going to go wash my hands I feel dirty.

You're right but signing a guy just to sign a guy out of need, and especially a guy who will dictate solid dollars, will do nothing but be another strain on our cap number, thus handcuffing our ability to go after a better free agent (Batum next year?) when the time is right and we've navigated through the confusion of what we have on our team, who we're keeping, who we're drafting, and who we're trading. It would push us to around the LT again and for what? 45 wins? That's not the prudent move. Build through the draft, acquire assets (said drafted players, additional picks), and when the time is right, make that one move or two to fine tune the roster, like OKC did in acquiring Perkins. Obviously it's not a totally fair comparison. They have an all-world player and another stud in Westbrook but the formula still holds true. Don't overpay (7M-10M) for guys who are nothing more than box score fillers.

I agree with you. I only listed Butler because Dallas reportedly offered him for Harris and we need a small forward. But if there is a better sf out there that we can get (either by trading Harris or by other means) then we should be looking into it.
