    THIS GUY IS AWESOME!!!! Career high in rebounds... and since becoming a starter, he's been MONEY.

    For a 2nd round pick!

    And it's one of the most protected 2nd round picks of all time.

    Hoping he becomes a 35% 3pt shooter. He'd easily be a top 10 SF of he could do so

    I bet we could trade him for 2 second round picks.

    How could you be so Harkless?

    Think I just found who my new irrational fandom will be for. Sergio/Rudy/Nic/Wessy and now Moe.

    YA BOI...

    Before tonight, he has an Ortg/Drtg of 129/103 as a starter. I can't wait to check tomorrow for the update!

    Aren't appreciation threads usually reserved for players that have left?

    Might not need another wing starter. All we really need is a center and some more shooters off the bench in the belinelli mold.

    Don't they tell you to appreciate the things you have now? Why not say we appreciate him while he's here?

    Interestingly enough, he seems to be appreciative of his situation too.

    Great chemistry!

    It's okay if we are spending money on worthwhile keeps.

    As TBpup says; its a top55 protected pick; so effectively he was acquired for nothing.

    He has been great. Big thanks to Jacque Vaughn for being a terrible coach! Thanks to a terrible Orlando Magic for giving away players for nothing!

    I think Orlando fans will eventually think of Harkless the way we think of Jermaine.

    Portland has enough to get a center and some nice bench pieces. That's all they really need anyway
