Dad is his agent (like Kyrie’s mom). Occasionally dad mouths off (like THJ’s dad)
Philly is a place where you could do a deal that allows you to do a S&T (which hard caps you) for Harris and keep DJJ. You’d have to send out at least two players and then approximately split the outgoing salary somehow between DJJ and Harris. So, for example in round numbers, maybe it is THJ/Green and Harris gets something around 3/$60mm and DJJ gets a little under the NTMLE. Or, maybe it is Maxi and THJ? You wouldn’t expect Philly to get much for a player they don’t want to keep.
The other side of the deal is the challenge. It is hard to figure what Moray wants to do here. They have lots of cap room and no one good to spend it on. Is THJ for one year better than sinking big money into Hield on a multi-year deal? Or, is THJ’s expiring getting shipped to a third team? On a team with maybe 8-10 spots to fill, Green at $12mm probably makes sense.
If that is all it is and you keep DJJ, then for all intents and purposes you’ve traded Green for Tobias Harris at good money. I’m a Green guy, but that is a better team.
So you have Harris coming off the bench? I could get on board with that, but I'm not sure he would. If you are sending out Timmy + Maxi I would probably be willing to include a little draft capital. I would miss 5 out with Maxi, but you could replace it with PJ/Harris (better offensively and worse defensively). Harris has also been very healthy in his career.
