    How the hell does this make sense... He wants to come off the bench AND compete for minutes with JJ Barea and Roddy???

    I'd rather be on Dallas' bench looking for a ring than on New Jersey's bench looking for gun to put to my head.

    Couldn't he start next to Kidd at a guard spot?

    My question is why does Dallas even have a trade in the works FOR Harris?? Is he really that much of an upgrade over Barea or Beaubois? This seems like a typical Cuban "move just to make a move".

    Hilarious how Harris gets out of town whenever Avery is in.

    So here is an opportunity for Houston to block Dallas, improve the PG position, acquire an above-average player who does not mind playing in TX, and maybe get a frontcourt player.

    It blew my mind when he came out in support of AJ's hiring. AJ never trusted Devin Harris as his PG and their conflict in Dallas is well documented. It just seemed to me there was close to a 100% chance it wouldn't work out in New Jersey either.

    If those are his 3 likeliest destinations I'd rather go to Portland if Miller is the guy he would get traded for.

    Best chance of making noise in the playoffs

    vs.

    Best chance of making noise in the upcoming lottery draft. I think i'd rather go to the team with the chance at playoffs.

    If I was a Maverick, I would find that gun pretty fast. Hilarious comment though hehe.

    Wasn't Dallas the team that was eager to trade him away to NJ?

    Correction: Avery Johnson was eager to trade him away to NJ (for Kidd)

    IMO they never should have traded him, J Kidd is great at his age, and I am sure they did it thinking they were in win now mode, but in retrospect it didn't work out, so if they could bring him back I can't imagine Kidd has that many years left.

    Not that I want him there, he tore us up with Dallas, always pissed me off.

    The guy is never healthy, at least that was the case the last few years I had him on my fantasy team.
