Potential Long Term SF: Mo Harkless 

Post#1 » by ComboGuardCity » Fri Nov 7, 2014 12:06 am

He's buried in Orlando and they have prospects they value more than him. He's a tenacious defender, has improved his jumpshot, and is still very young. He's definitely a better fit than Singler and I bet he can be had for pennies.

Well CGC, if he can shoot I'm down. I already know he's a good defensive player.

Any trade proposals?

I'm not sure I want to give up assets for a guy that is buried on the Magic bench. He could pan out but I don't know if it's worth it. I was thinking of Smith trades that would get us a SF and I came up with this trade with WAS that would need to wait until Dec 25th:

Josh Smith, 2015 1st rounder

for

Otto Porter, Kris Humphries, Dejuan Blair, Rasual Butler

Why for WAS? They get another piece to try and put them over the top. Smith becomes a 4th or 5th offensive option behind Wall, Beal, Pierce, and maybe even Gortat. Nene becomes a super sub that can back up the 4 and 5 and gives them an improved big man rotation. They also get a pick for taking on the risk and giving up Porter. Porter would also be stuck behind Pierce and Webster (when he returns) in the rotation so they won't be losing much.

Wall/Miller
Beal/Temple/Rice
Pierce/Webster
Smith/Nene/Gooden
Gortat/Nene/Seraphin

Why for DET? We can waive Mitchell, Datome, and Butler to make roster space. We sacrifice a pick to dump Smith and get our SF of the future, two birds with one stone. Porter is a multi-skilled SF who can shoot and defend and was a former number 3 overall pick who only missed last season due to injury. He would start for us instantly. Smith would be gone and Monroe could step in as our go-to offensive big man. Our spacing would improve, our BBIQ would improve, and we would have an awesome young core of Drummond, Monroe, Porter, and KCP. Humphries and Blair would be helpful bigs off the bench too.

Jennings/Augustin/Dinwiddie
Caldwell-Pope/Meeks
Porter/Butler/Singler
Monroe/Jerebko/Humphries/Blair
Drummond/Monroe/Anthony

Thoughts?

If he's cheap i don't see why not. he shoots 33% from 3 which i think puts him out of consideration for SVG.

I like Mo Harkless he'd be great for the Pistons future. I'd rather get him in FA than trade for him there's no rush. Unless their trying to take Smith off our hands.

Top SFs we could steal/trade for:
Kahwi Leonard
Jimmy Butler
Perry Jones 3
Moe Harkless
Otto Porter
Jae Crowder
Aminu 

Top SFs we could draft:
Stanley Johnson
Kelly Oubre
Justise Winslow
Rondae Hollis

These are young because I'm thinking about their fit with the big 4 of Drummond Monroe kcP Dinwiddie
You need 2-way wings, 2-way shooting bigs, and you can't allow low iq players on the court. Assist/turnover ratio is crucial. Shooting point guards are icing on the cake IF they are plus defenders.
Weaver & Casey, govern yourselves accordingly!

Otto Porter (3rd overall pick btw) AND we dump Smith. I'll take Porter and and dumping Smith's contract over our odds in the lottery, especially since I think we will be better than last year.

Lets do that same deal for Evan Turner instead. He was a 2nd overall pick.

Turner has had several years to prove he is a bust. Porter has just been injured and has looked pretty good when he has actually gotten onto the floor. Again, we would also be dumping Smith.

I'd rather have Tobias Harris. Really wanted him last year...I think she should have offered Monroe for a package of Afflalo & Harris but nooooooooo....

My point was his draft position means nothing and adds no extra value for us.

Any deal involving dumping Smith is one we should consider making at this point

But Otto Porter sucks and is not worth our pick in 2015

Make the deal Porter, Humphries, Trash for Smith

Washington keeps DeJuan Blair and they trade Porter for the chance to become a real threat in the East

Wall - Beal - Pierce - Smith - Nene/Gortat is a sick lineup

Meanwhile for us Humphries/Anthony will back up Monroe/Drummond and Porter gets a legit shot at starting SF

Wish this would happen but the Wizards would be crazy if they made that trade. I'm not even the type to bash players but Josh Smith is butt cheeks.
