Depth is an issue, and you need your 40M to provide 2 players at least. Unless you get a real game-changer. He isn't.
I would much rather try to send one or the other and get back a player who can help who is making 15-20M. A variation of another Bullock or DFS, 3 and D, but maybe a bit overpaid? Need someone who can shoot 3s. Maybe include pick 26 if needed.
In the meantime, I utilize these 2 guys and try to coach them up into better versions of themselves. I think either or both could potentially have way more trade value at the TDL. Don't think Harris ever will.
Nobody said he is the best value, but he is the best player. He would be basically replacing the minutes you are getting from THJ and Bertans combined, only with better defense and better offense. One of the themes of this playoffs is that we don't seem to have enough guys that can do anything offensively other that shoot open shots. He would be a big help in this area. Also, if we are going to go with small ball centers in the future, adding his size and rebounding would be a bonus.
Is he over paid? Of course. But he probably provides more value than THJ and Bertans combined and will cost less long term cap. Its hard to argue with that.
