Get rid of Harris

[NotDeadYet]

Turkoglu tends to play uninspired when he's on a bad team. When the Magic were good a few years ago, he was often the key guy (next to Howard, of course) for them; even played some decent D, and can rebound. He is a post-up nightmare at SF (6'10"). He can get hot with the 3-ball, but can fall in love with it too often. I honestly think on a good team that wouldn't be an issue...

My only concern with dropping Harris is he's younger, more athletic, and likely a much better defender than Watson or Tinsley. Obviously Watson and Tinsley are better pure PG's with their distribution skills, but we'd be far more vulnerable defensively when playing the Roses and Westbrooks et al, of the NBA.

Without Harris and Bell getting minutes this team would be so much better. These guys are the "anchors", only in the wrong manner.

The 2 games Bell was out we lost.

What about Ofer for another CJ? CJ Watson that is. Harris would at least have Korver and Brewer by his side.

And we won all the games he started??????

Trade him to a 3pt shooting team. I don't want Rondo in return, but Celtics would be good for him. Atlanta, Indiana... Golden State?

....yeah, since he hits about 20% from 3 point land.

I think he means that Harris would be better on a team with 3 point shooters.

 

[Brown Notes]

Harris would be an awful fit on the C's.

They don't run. It's why Rondo doesn't look as good as he really is.

He was out against Portland and we won. I love how you disguise your disingenuous homerism as balanced insight.

Cyrone Torbin is correct. You've miss my point entirely. If we send him to a 3pt shooting team it'll draw defenders out of the paint and give him space to drive.

More like I just forgot.

But why would you bring it up? Do you honestly believe Bell is the reason (or one of the main reasons) the Jazz have been winning? Of course not.

More like it's really easy to check your facts before you post, rather than rely on what you'd like to believe.

Hard rep.

Actually, I just forgot.

kool, braugh.

Yeah, I think he does have something to do with us winning as of late. He is, despite board perception, a pretty good shooter. He is shooting 36% from deep on the year which far and away the best on the team (even after having a bad 1-5 night last night).

In the month of January he was shooting 51% from the field and 41% from deep. Again, far and away our best long range shooter. I do think Howard is the better player, but he just doesn't move the ball and keep the offense flowing as well as Bell does. Bell goes out there, feeds the big men and takes his shots within the offense when he is open.

Where's everyone getting Hinrich from? If Harris frustrates you, I can't imagine how badly you'd hate Hinrich. I think he'd be an awful fit.

It's more about his expiring contract.

why does your hate for the idea make me like it more?

Let's see; wonder if the Cavs would give us Kyrie Irving and Anderson Varejao (30) for Harris (28) and Derrick Favors. Just a thought... Varejao is actually averaging a double/double this year...

No. While Irving has a bright future, it is much more difficult to find a talented young big, and much more important if they plan to compete for a championship. However, if they can somehow get Irving and a passable bench big for Harris and Jefferson, I would **** my friggin pants.

Doubtful, they have Tristan Thompson. Also fairly sure they like Irving a lot.
