Value wise seems like a deal Detroit has to make but still a weird trade. Marcus Morris and Harris are very similar.



I think that is kind of the point. With Stanley Johnson, Marcus Morris, and Tobias Harris, there can be a lot of versatility at the 2-4 spots. This is something they didn't really have with Ilyasova.

I am somewhat surprised that the Pistons didn't look at Markieff, who has a friendly contract. From what I can guess, SVG did not want to part with a first-rounder.

@HPbasketball: So now they have Efl, Oladipo, Jennings, and CJ. Sure, OK.


This should shed some light there.

Ilyasova spread the floor though and they need shooting around the Jackson Drummond pick and roll. When is Meeks back?

Like the trade, just an odd fit. Really don't think Morris and Harris can play together much.

Per Vincent Ellis, Detroit Free Press

SVG said he wasn't sacrificing young pieces and only wanted guy back with years left on his deal. Harris fits the bill.

No time soon. Maybe 3-4 more weeks.

Weird deal for Orlando, unless they were just trying to dump Harris and don't see him as a future piece.


Harris is just blocking Mario Hezonja and Aaron Gordon at this point and Jennings being an expiring allows Orlando to extend Evan Fournier and still have room for another max FA. Channing Frye is probably on the way out before the deadline so Ilyasova is a good fit just to sit on the 3 point line and spread the floor for everyone else.

Value definitely benefits Detroit if Harris continues to develop but it makes sense for both teams.

Definitely think Orlando's motivation here is to get minutes for guys they like better. But you would think they should have gotten something more for Harris.

They were also shedding long term salary for expiring deals.

Closer to the tax line and saves their owner a few million.
