Your Totally Awesome All Purpose Devin Harris Trade Thread Master Thread

Yes! Yes! Yes, and Yes! Of course i would trade him for a couple of twinkies and a cold soda.

I was watching the Celtics/Raptors game the other night and I could've sworn that one of the announcers said that Calderon was literally the worst shooter in the league, as in he has the lowest shooting percentage. If this is true, this does bother me.

I would not be so fast to jump the gun. The Minny FO is kind of stupid lol

They did draft Rubio. Now why they drafted Flynn as well is a good question.

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

Millers, KOC, and Corbin are ********!

Here is a snippet of what Hollinger says about Calderon (insider, so I can't post most of it).

"+ Pure point guard who will reliably break down defense and find open man.

+ Good outside shooter and great foul shooter; very effective finisher, as well.

+ Zero lateral quickness since '09 hamstring injury. A traffic cone on defense.

Synergy Stats rated him the league's third-worst point guard last season. Nagging leg injuries are also taking a bite out of his career. Last season was the third in a row in which he missed exactly 14 games. Between that and the defense, one wonders how long he can remain viable as a starter."

And from that, I say would probably say no thanks to Calderon! Let Harris go at years end and get a new FA PG.

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:

Damn Canadians would probably want something in addition to Harris for Calderon.

Playing better this year than last. Shooting 48% from the field and almost 9 assists.

Didnt they draft like 5 PGs in two years or something like that?

Quite a few. But give them credit for Rubio. Flynn was a massive flop. Cant get off the bench in Houston now.

They have a few good players, granted. But when I think of smart FOs the Timberwolves are nowhere on that list. Lakers, Spurs, Jazz, Dallas...

Doubtful Denver would do it, but.... Andre Miller.

Jarret Jack?

What about DJ Augustine....He's not working well with Kemba.
