pistons should get one of them.

Tobias Harris | SF | Milwaukee Bucks

Harris

The Bucks passed on re-signing Carlos Delfino over the summer and entered the season with the 20-year-old Harris as their starting small forward, a big indication that the team believed in the versatile forward out of Tennessee. But Harris quickly fell out of favor with former coach Scott Skiles due to his struggles as a team defender and his inability to mesh well offensively with the Brandon Jennings-Monta Ellis backcourt.

A change of environment could be just what he needs to emerge as a starter in the league, and Milwaukee may be willing to make that happen for the right deal. However, Mike Dunleavy and Marquis Daniels are both free agents after the season and may not return, so Harris could be in line for a bigger role if he's still with the Bucks in 2013-14.


John Henson | PF | Milwaukee Bucks

Henson

The Bucks like what they have in their 2012 lottery pick, that being a long, lanky rebounder and shot-blocker with some offensive game around the basket. In addition, Henson probably has just as good a chance at being the team's future at power forward as Ersan Ilyasova.

So why even consider trading him now? Because Ilyasova is the one with the big contract and thus the one currently getting the bulk of the minutes, which could very well continue to be the case for the foreseeable future. On the flip side, Henson is someone Milwaukee can keep around on a bargain rookie contract through 2015-16, so they'll probably only consider dealing him if it means bringing back an All-Star-caliber talent in return. Maybe someone like a Danny Granger, perhaps?

Others: Jordan Hamilton (Denver), Evan Fournier (Denver), Timofey Mozgov (Denver), Alec Burks (Utah), Jared Cunningham (Dallas), Fab Melo (Boston), Patty Mills (San Antonio)

Johm Hammond was here when we drafted Stuckey. The big thing is that if Henson gets dealt, the Pistons would have to move a good player. Jerebko wouldn't do it. The only way I'd add Henson is if we dealt Monroe. We don't need Henson with both on the roster.

In the article it states they want all star value in return for Henson and good value for Harris. They're not trading them for our scraps because they are cheap players.

nobody would gave them an all-star value for henson right now. they have plenty of PF and like ilyasova in starting line-up. there is no room for henson.

but hey, maybe we would convince them that knight is all-star value :wink:
