Your Totally Awesome All Purpose Devin Harris Trade Thread Master Thread

[gothapotamus]

Doubtful that Minnesota wants to bring on Harris for Ridnour, so it would need to be multi-team unless other players were included. It would be interesting to have Earl and Ridnour in that they were formerly back court competitors in Seattle before the Sonic Boom...

I really think the most logical move to make is Harris for Calderon. Calderon's not the savior for the PG position, but he's a much better fit for this team. He's a pass first PG that is a much better shooter than Harris. While Calderon would be an improvement on offense, he'd also be a downgrade on defense.

Here's a Canadian article from two days ago which discusses this trade proposal:

I hope the Jazz can get something done here. At best, Harris has been inconsistent this year.

Toronto may not want our garbage, but the fact the Harris is an expiring may help Utah swing a deal that may not usually seem very likely. If Toronto is looking to move in a another direction, they may take Utah up on the offer since the Jazz would be willing to eat another year of Calderon's 10 million salary. If Toronto was even mildly interested, I'd hope KOC would heavily pursue this. Some may flame me for this, but I think adding a PG like Calderon makes the Jazz a legit top 3 team in the west.

If KOC wants to get a little bold he could get on the phone with Ainge who we all know is desperate to get a jumpstart on rebuilding his team.

I'd go for Rondo + Allen for Harris + Hayward + draft pick.

Thank God !! Was pretty sure the staff was not blind to how horrible he has been playing, this restores my faith in them. I do feel bad for "HeavenHarris'.........Well, some.

We need Calderon to pass his physical so he can be ready for the next game.
I think we should start Watson in the beginning, and work Calderon into the rotation.

I'd do this. Seems like a better fit for both players, and if Calderon can shoot the 3, even better.

Good.
Devin really deserves better than to be misused like this. The Jazz want a pass 1st PG who doesn't get plays run for him, then fine go get that player, don't try to force Harris into something he's not and make him look like crap. They should treat him better than this.

Can't believe the Jazz forced him to air ball that three. Poor Devin.

 

[sirkickyass]

Neither one is the long term answer, but Calderon is at least a real distributor.

Devin Harris for Kirk Hinrich?

Would a Harris for Hinrich trade be possible? It seems like Hinrich would be a much better for the Jazz than Harris, and Harris would be much better for the Hawks than Hinrich.

If the contracts were equal I would say it's a win win. Harris makes about 1 mil more per year, and has 1 more year on his contract.

Harris is younger, and probably the better player, so Atlanta might possibly do it.

If we're trying to win now, this would be a great trade.

 

[Golfman]

I would rather do Harris for Mo Williams, which would work. Clips probably wouldn't bite, though. The Clips already have 2 solid PG's in Billups and Paul, so losing Mo wouldn't really matter (although he's been playing quite a bit with CP3 out).
