So I'm researching this whole Tobias Harris situation. I came across this article which is a good read.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cl...iffin-trade-detroit-pistons-tobias-harris-nba
I left with a couple points:
- if the Clippers miss the playoffs, they actually keep their pick. They started well, but struggled since.
- this quote stuck out to me - "The real loss comes if they accept non-Blake mediocrity: paying Tobias a few million less than they would have paid Blake to keep a non-contending roster together."
If the Clippers renounce Harris, they can give 2 max deals. Ideally for them, it starts with Kawhi. After that, it can be Butler, KD, Cousins, whoever. Regardless, nobody talks about Tobias as some "guy I want to go play with." Honestly, I rarely hear anything at all about him.
If the Clippers were to trade Harris, not only could they get something instead of losing him for nothing, but they also likely lose enough to miss the playoffs and keep their own pick.
We need to root like hell for Clipper opponents the next couple weeks. And then we need to try to trade for Harris at the deadline. Favors and a 1st is pretty damn good for a guy who could just walk this summer.
