2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[SleepingHero]

3 If we're looking to Harris as the "best way to consolidate meh into a useful player," I'd rather the Mavs explore Hayward. The word continues to be that CHA is ready to move on from the Hayward Era. For CHA, he's a very big salary who hasn't come anywhere close to earning it, and they might be open to splitting it into usable pieces that could give them some help. Turning him into Powell, Brown, and either Bertans or Hardaway seems like a way, and maybe that helps the Mavs too.

I was a big Hayward fan right up until last week when I dove further into his bball reference page and listened to some Hornets podcasts. 

The dude just cannot stay healthy. A quick comparison: 
In the last 3 years, Porzingis played 151 games for the Mavs. Hayward played 145 between Charlotte and Boston. Harris played 207. 

It's the same story every year for Hayward. He starts off hot averaging close to 20 a game, then around December/January an injury knocks him out till late March where he comes back a shell of himself. 

Haven't we had enough of absentee guys? 

Further, Harris is a better scorer as he's more efficient and has a higher ppg than Hayward. Plus he's younger by 3 years. If we're going to trade for an albatross might as well get the one that will actually play no?
