Which is good news for other suitors of Harris. I think Orlando matches regardless though.

Nice, I did some light math in my head and I was thinking they had less than max. NY and LA gonna get desperate really soon. Get a verbal from harris on a max asap and hope the reports that magic won't match are true.

If Magic really wanted Harris you would think there would be chatter about them negotiating or something. Every other top RFA already got resigned by their teams and had been reports of them negotiating since last night. Nothing at all on Harris and Magic.

I think there's every possibility they don't match totally independent of Milsap.

even though our GM has said at every opportunity that he will?

If desired they could always clear some cap room.

Now, their investment in 2 forwards today (including one for 8 figures) and pending investment in Crowder suggests that they may not desire to do so.

My hopes for this off season consist of over paying a semi-injury prone, streaky shooting, no passing, no defense Tweener. And don't take this the wrong way, give Tobias the max, I'm just depressed.

I think the Celtics are 3 deep with borderline starters at every position now

If we're going to sign Harris, we're going to have to seriously overpay. :-?

The thing is why doesn't Boston or the Magic want Harris? I mean his stats look nice but are they just empty stats for a bad team or what?

I hear the kids defense is terrible. Which is why I can understand why folks don't want to overpay.

Well there goes that! He is betting on himself like Monroe

I bet no team offered him the max deal he wanted.

I'll believe it when Woj says so. I'm not seeing it anywhere else.

Upon further inspection, the source cited looks like speculation.

Yeah, I got excited/angry just a bit. Should've waited to post that.

Eh, to be honest I was surprised how little the Harris thing upset me too.

I guess I'm really pessimistic.

Plus why would he sign the QO 1 day into FA? Monroe used that as a last resort in like August after not being able to get anything done.
