SG, lousy defense, mostly a shooter who you think will get you a bucket or 3. 35% or so on 3s. On a deal like THJ's, but no way he gets that again imo. He's not as healthy as THJ, gets nicked where he misses maybe 20 games each year it seems.
He's about THJ age.
I think he could get better, perhaps, but "as is" should play in your top 8 if healthy.
Gotcha.
So isn't a more simple THJ/Harris swap, just letting Harris walk a little better?
It goes against everything in my blood not to try to get better with every deal, too, but there are quite literally more good players here right now than they have rotation spots for, and the logjam is most prominent in that THJ/Bullock/Green/Brown/Ntilikina area, imo.
If you're right and they will pay the tax, then GREAT! But if not, I'd be tempted to make a deal like that and view a retained Brunson and DFS as the real prize.
