Gary Harris has shown some signs of life lately. 14/4/2 with 50/43/77 shooting over the last 10 games as a starter. Magic went 2-8, but he was a net positive in six games, so still seems to be an impact player on defense. You get him in here, probably a decent chance to re-sign him for 18/3 or something to come off the bench. Still only 27 years old.
Mo Bamba is a restricted FA. I´d retain his services and make him compete with a rookie C Mark Williams (our projected pick range). No big investments at C. Add one veteran. Just guys that can defend, rebound and finish at the rim. Bamba even shooting a respectable 33% from three. The big money commitment needs to be made elsewhere.
We really should have let THJ walk and go hard after Markkanen/Collins. They´d be a perfect front-court fit with somebody like Bamba.
Harris has been crap for years. It will take more than a 10 game stretch to think he is any different. This is a kind of move the Mavs would make if they are looking to keep both DFS and Brunson and avoid the tax. They could hold onto Bamba, but probably not room for Harris. Just don't see them doing this.
