Gary Harris is still an elite defensive player. He´ll get plenty of opportunities in Orlando to re-gain his shooting touch, at which point, he can definitely net them a lottery protected first as an expiring contract. Presti has shown us the art of the player value rebuild. Johnson gives you absolutely nothing except for an expiring contract. Also I rate Hampton higher than Green, and so does probably every FO around the league. So the Mavs could not have matched that easily.
