The potential for a Harris-for-Ilyasova/Jennings deal, first reported by @MikeAScotto, is very real, a league source said.

HERE WE GO!!!

[skones]

wow.

[mrtcsm]

God no... I think we can do better Rob

As I said on the Trade Discussion Thread what about we take Reggie instead of Brandon? Something like:

Jackson/Ilyasova for Harris/Payton/Nicholson

thoughts? I don't really want to give away EP but...

[AddiFB]

Eeeee... not excite.

[j-ragg]

This would be the first move that would actually make me angry. Hope Rob isn't being influenced.

Ilyasova is a crappier version of Frye why would we want this.

[Rick Rolled]

So this seems to confirm that Skiles was 100% behind this, considering he's coached Jennings and Ersan in the past.

[BadWolf]

Imminent might be a bit strong
Source says discussed, Amick says progressed and then likely.
Great deal forDetroit, thugh they already have Marcus, a similar tweener guy.

he also coached Harris and played him a whole lot here.

[TreasureCoast]

I don't mind the trade, it should make Skiles happy since it's his cronies, and as it is reported our main youth stays intact. If Jennings comes in I just hope that Elf stays and isn't part of another deal....

NEM where you at? Tobias is about to pack his bags

[OrlandO]

Well if true this move has scott skiles' prints all over it...

SVG getting us back for firing him.

As of now, Detroit is not sending any picks -- or at least any 1sts -- to Orlando in the proposed Tobias Harris deal, sources say.

[Dgbarnes]

Honestly not a terrible trade for us. Both their salaries combined are for 16mil a year and Jennings is on his last year. Should free up some cap assuming we dont resign him.

[BadWolf]

so frye and ilyasova on the same team?

[Mc-o]

I mean it's pretty fair trade , gives us a better threat from the point guard position and takes some pressure off of elf , and Harris hasn't really been giving us much lately

[OrlandO]

In 5 years some other dumbass team will hire skiles and he'll have a press conference saying he didn't want to trade tobias from the magic...

[TheShoe1010]

I would honestly rather just cut Harris than take back Ilyasova's contract.

I don't understand.

EDIT: Just realized I misread Ilyasova's contract details. I guess this is just a move to give us even more cap flexibility over the next two years? I would've though Harris' value was a little higher than that. Pretty disappointing.
