Trade & FA 2024-25:

[KillerLeft]

Yeah Harris is still a decent starting forward in this league. Not quite as athletic as he was a few years ago but he’s still close to his prime. Would be a HUGE addition to this team at a position of need. Not fully on Jerami Grant’s level but really not that far off and probably much easier to acquire.

IIRC we were also interested in him before he signed his big 5yr deal the last time he was a FA.

Irving
Doncic
Harris
Washington
Lively | Gafford

That’s a heck of a top six. Not sure what it takes to get a SnT done for Harris but it’s probably not outlandish.

I'm not totally out on the Harris idea, but I highly doubt he'd start in the circumstances you've outlined above. No offense to you or anyone else, but I keep seeing these ideas that play two 4's next to each other, and I just feel like that's willfully missing what just worked for Dallas. They need DJJ or a DJJ replacement. They already have a PJ Washington. They could use another 4 to come off the bench like Harris, Collins, whoever, but not at the sacrifice of the quicker wing, and probably only if they don't move Green (because they need two of that type, really). 

These are all great ideas for replacing Kleber, if the team really is into moving on from him. I don't think they're as ideally suited as Kleber (when healthy) because they can't play the 5 as well, but Harris and Collins CAN defend and shoot a little. Collins can even create some for himself in the post, if that's a dimension they want to add. 

But without the Jones element on the defensive end this is all pointless. That's why it's Jones or Grant for me, so far.
