Too good to be true on Harris? Any particular reason?
There's a chance he's interested...but the financial feasibility makes me think it's very unlikely. The scenarios exist, but they require cooperation with other parties and eating Exum's contract. Seems unlikely.
I'm also sticking to my initial intuition that the Conley deal was a sign that the Jazz knew that they weren't going to get Harris, Russell, or any other max free agent. Perhaps I have a bit a paranoia, but with all the tampering going on I think most max players already know where they're going.
Yeah, that's how I took the Conley deal, too. It may be wishful thinking on my part, but now I am imagining Tony Jones gets home to hear about a dinner Jazz brass just had with Tobias, and the addition of Conley makes us more attractive than we realized.
My hope is that Harris would take a cut to come here. I think we can move Exum. That will get us to 4/119.4 if we nuke everything else an see what we can bring back for rmle and mins. That's 27 off of his full max.... But if we give him a team option, maybe that would do it? That's my hope anyway. Especially after looking at 76er cap, they're going to have to make decisions.
