Your Totally Awesome All Purpose Devin Harris Trade Thread Master Thread

[NAOS]

Yet he doesn't start. You figure Jrue Holiday or Williams could become available.

yeah, man, I remember all those years the Mavs were dying to get rid of Jason Terry because he didn't start.

Oh, yeah, remember when San Antonio was itching to dump Manu cuz he didn't start?!?!

I wonder what happened with these stupid teams...

We have a better chance of trading Favors than they do Jrue.

Ok then Williams it is. They both have starting quality PG's splitting minutes. I doubt they plan on keeping both going foward. But it's just an idea. More plausible than getting Rondo.

I don't think Indy would want Harris so that they could get rid of Collison. Harris becomes a backup and an occasional 2.

Indy is loaded at the 2 position, and I don't think they'll throw away George Hill's minutes to make way for a 9 million dollar backup PG. I just don't see it happening

Well, it's not my idea originally, so I'm not going to really defend it, but there is a case to be made that Harris improves that team by becoming a backup PG and all-purpose guard. Sure, they have some SGs, but Hill isn't a PG... And, if they have the cap room... And, if they are trying to win NOW.... etc.

EDIT TO ADD: right now, acquiring Harris isn't too dissimilar to when the Jazz acquired Jefferson: stock low; team moving in different direction...

If Harris is moved it will have to be in a 3 team deal. I'm guessing Jazz just move him in the offseason.

Williams for what? The Sixers have the second best record in the Eastern conference.

Haha "not a true statement" he says.

I'll make sure to always say "in my opinion" before each statement since your brain can't decipher.

Here's my more balanced view on this...

Part of Devin's struggles are related to the way Ty is using him. The post-heavy structure of the starting lineup isn't well suited to his abilities. I understand the desire to put him out there, see how he adjusted, and hopefully keep his stock high.

But, at this point, there is a real chance his stock is as low as it can get. In other words, by simply waiting until the end of the season Harris's value might increase as an expiring contract. Once this becomes more-or-less the case, and the jazz aren't worried about the impressions of moving him to the second unit, I hope they do so -- and then institute more of an up-tempo PnR system that might actually revive him.

my brain isn't the issue here. It's that your REAL TALK sounds like *** TALK.
