Jazz May Be A Part of 3-Team Deal w/ Clippers

I agree, George Hill is definitely a more consistent player. Overall Harris is better but at any time he could be worse due to his inconsistency.

consistently mediocre is not better than an slightly less consistent one-time allstar who has been his team's best or second-best player for most of his career.

bigger picture, billy. it's cuban selling 17 for a chance to have the flexibility to go after nash/williams.

or we could get a pick from LAC instead of DAL, but we'd have to be getting SOME compensation for doing both dallas and LAC a favor.

Good point. A rookie at #17 isn't going to help the Dirk/Dallas dynasty much. They have a window of maybe 2 years tops. Although, Royce White might be a bit interesting.

Yeah, but it will help the new Dwill dynasty.

They could draft a number of instant contributors. A guy like Jeff Taylor could be a huge boost to their crappy wing rotation.

Or Terrence Jones or Arnett Moultrie to spell Dirk some minutes as he gets older. Moultrie would be an oop machine and Jones would be a dynamic scorer.

I haven't looked over the numbers in a while, but I'm pretty sure he only has to amnesty Haywood and waive Odom to do it. So it's not necessary, but only preferable to save the 3 mil. Well, that and the fact he'd probably like to hold off amnestying Haywood for another year until he can get himself into the Howard sweepstakes with Deron and Dirk as bait.

devin harris' career PER is almost 18 and has been as high as 21. george hill's highest year was barely over league average (15.7) and he was coming off the bench for 25 mpg and not even closing playoff games.

hill>harris?! ridonk.

Career PER? Why don't we just evaluate their current value based on shoe size?

i'm not in love with harris. i'm not even saying i wouldn't do the trade. i'm just saying that harris has more value than you guys think. hell, george couldn't even earn the starting role on the team that gave up a 15th pick to get him. so if indy would give up the 15th pick for their second point guard....

this really is just common sense.

tpe expires in december, though, so it's not like you can hold onto it at the deadline. there are three "buyer frenzy" periods in the NBA: the july moratorium, the february deadline, and draft day. by february the TPE is gone, so might as well use it now while there are more buyers willing to give something up of value for it.

Great point. Last season was unusual as the Nets desperately needed a center. They feared doing nothing would signal the end to Deron. So, lucky for us, they traded for Memo, who proved to be worthless. We've got two chances to use the TPE: near the draft and in conjunction with free agency.

This might be the best deal available. It lets KOC explore trades for Harris without worrying about affecting the the Jazz' record. And, at worst, Mo becomes an expiring contract for us. In esssence, the Jazz extend $8.5M of the TPE to the end of the season.

i'm not talking jsut about 3s. i'm talking about how he exclusively shoots jumpers and rarely attacks the basket.

Attacking the basket works when you're young and have shooters, not when you're almost 30 on one of the worst 3-point shooting teams in the NBA.
