    I say PG w/o question.

    On another note, I sure hope the Travis Outlaw for Conley rumors aren't true. I used to be a big Conley guy, but he just isn't anything special at this point, and definitely not worth giving up Outlaw.

    Let Bayless develop. Better yet, put him in there more.

    I'd like to use this thread to point out that Devin Harris only averages 4.8 apg while averaging 2 tpg and is shooting on 39% from the field. Will people now please admit that Outlaw for Harris swap would've been a disaster?

    You're not taking into account Harris' defense. He'd be nice to have on CP3/Deron.

    Outlaw is a nice player, but I'd probably trade him for Harris. You want someone to get in the lane and get to the bucket? Harris is your man.

    The Blazers have a surplus at SF, and players like Travis aren't hard to find. Finding a PG is.

    Of course we still need to see Bayless play. Put him in dammit.

    Tony Parkers on the Harris trade last year:

    “To be honest with you, I’m really happy for that trade. Diop was doing a good job on us. And Devin Harris, most of the time, he played good against us. So I thought it would be good for us. No disrespect to Jason Kidd, he’s a great point guard, but those guys that left always gave us trouble.”

    Even Phil Jackson liked Harris.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Devin Harris is a significantly better player than Outlaw, a few games notwithstanding. He's pretty similar in terms of production, can fill a more important role and plays much, much better defense.
