    Are you under the impression that Harris is significantly better than Felton?

    You should check their career stats against each other. They are extremely similar, with Felton having the huge advantage in games played per season. Harris has been in the league for a total on 1 year more than Felton, but has only played 10 more games total

    Their stats being similar are obviously helped by Harris' being drafted to a good team, and thus not getting handed minutes right away, but hey, why let that get in the way of a poor stat comparison.

    the disgruntled NJ version of harris is better than felton.

    harris 17.4 PER .550 TS%
    felton 14.5 PER .498 TS%

    rebound and assist rates similar, defensive stats similar, harris much better scorer.

    felton's only advantage is durability. if that's what matters most to you then he might be a better choice. i'd rather take the chance on harris.

    Example of more attractive options - not trading him for a NY poopoo platter.

    If the Blazers could get Felton/Turiaf for Camby, it would be a steal.

    Because getting a 25-year-old PG with a 17.3 PER this season would be getting robbed? Particularly for trading a 37-year-old center coming off of knee surgery? The homerism on this board never ceases to amaze.

    Homerism has nothing to do with it. Aside from the fact that I don't care for either Felton or Turiaf, they aren't as good of players regardless of age!

    Yeah, too bad he's a 14 PER player without the SSOL offense. Oh, and he'd be coming into the TSOM (Twenty seconds or more) offense.

    I think it would not be "a steal", but it would certainly be a net positive. Turiaf is a solid post, and Felton/Miller would make a FANTASTIC 1-2 punch at point guard. I don't know if we'd have enough minutes to keep both happy though, as I can't really picture them on the floor at the same time.

    Sorry guys, I thought it was Dre and Camby for Felton and Turiaf.

    Well, he was actually a 15.2 PER player last year before joining the SSOL offense, and that was with a usage rate 2 full points lower than what Miller has in Portland, and on a crappy team.

    Yeah, he's a minor downgrade from Miller, but he's a much better outside shooter and about 8 years younger. I'd say he'd be worth picking up if possible.

    His PER hovers around 14.5 for his career, which makes him a slightly below average NBA starter. Which I would agree with. He's also not particularly known for his defense.

    At 7.5 Million a year, we could do better.

    Miller has basically stayed the same player for his entire career. I'm sure we could get 3-4 years out of him, which is about the length of Felton's contract. I'd rather keep Andre.

    Uh... he's right.

    Outlaw shot lower than 40% from the field last year (although he shot pretty well from 3, at around 38%)... this year he's even worse, with his 3% dropping to 31% and his overall FG% at under 38%.

    The dude can't shoot straight.

    Turiaf would be an upgrade as a back-up PF. Felton has the potential to be a capable PG. He reminds me of Terry Porter when TP was 26. I like it.

    On our team in our system his J won many games for us. Monty taught him to become a good jump shooter.
