    Question is, why does he only get around 17 mpg then?

    He was playing behind Blake Griffin and Tobias Harris all year.

    Still, it has been that way his whole career and Griffin often missed games. Gotta be more to it than that. Harris has the ability to play the 3 as well so more minutes could be available.

    Harrell was in Houston before, and they undervalued him because he couldn't hit 3s and space the floor for Floppy Beard.

    Harris is much, much worse at SF.

    You're arguing that Harrell's per minute production is a flaw? Obviously it wouldn't extrapolate at such an elite level through starters minutes, but anything close to that is still very, very good.

    I'm not arguing anything. I like Harrel, but teams don't seem to want to find minutes for him. I wonder why.

    I don’t think the Clippers trade away Harris for a mid to late 1st round pick and a trade exception, but I guess anything is possible?

    Well I wouldn't think so, but they have a glut of combo-forwards/PFs, two of which they brought in this off-season... Gallinari, Harrell, Mbah A Moute, Mike Scott... I could see them moving on from Harris.

    Their defense is terrible, how does IT help that? They lost Chandler, Faried, and Arthur. Millsap will turn 34 during the season.

    I didn't say IT helped the defense. Chandler is inefficient and Faried hardy played last year. And Millsap is still productive. I expect their guards to gel a bit more and Jokic will only get better. We'll see but i expect them to be better.

    Don't believe he is a free agent, but yeah he would be a nice addition.

    He has 1 year left. We don't have money left for free agency.

    Do you mean 2?

    LAC doesn't want long term salary back and thats the only salary that we canuse to match Harris.

    So we have to send Harkless/Meyers elsewhere, but theres really no teams with cap space back.. so they can match by sending an equal salary back, which we can absorb with our TPE and not have count as incoming salary, thus allowing the ML/MH contract serve for matching purposes for Harris. ATL does it because Meyers is cheaper and better than Plumlee.

    In this case B+W= trades.

    You must solve for W.

    B = 1
    W = 5?

    6 team trades? Ok. If you insist.

    Harrell would fill the toughness we lost by not resigning Ed, he’s got a mean streak.

    I can't believe Jabari Parker's contract will pay him 20 mil. per. He's an up and coming talent, but hasn't proven anything yet.
