I remembered how much he was loved here. It looks like he was improving playing good D and knocking down the 3. But they drafted Gordon and have Harris so it looks like they are giving up on hIm. I wonder iF a second or withey would get it done.

Question: If he was traded here for Withey lets say, would he get a single minute?
Would Monty give him developmental minutes over DC or Q-Pon?
We all know the answer to this question.

A month or 2 ago one of the Orlando beat writers said he fell out of the rotation in large part because of an inconsistent motor. He might not get minutes over Babbitt if that's true.
Exactly. Not to mention lack of productivity.Originally Posted by BP225
Why does Orlando have to be so Harkless?

Except that we know Withey is not part of the future, and neither is Luke or salmons, and we don't know Dante will be back, wouldn't mind somebody who showed some flashes that's on a cheap rookie deal -assuming they are 'giving him away'
I was one that wanted him and I'd be willing to give him a shot for cheap. Regardless of what he's done in Orlando as long as he has some upside I'm all for it. I wouldn't expect much playing time this year but the rest of this year and the summer should get him up to speed for next year and he should be another great deal and could be a good 2nd stringer.
I could forsee Qpon at the 2, Harkless at the 3, and Cunningham at the 4 (if resign). If Qpon and Cunningham can rub off some of their hustle mentality on him it could be an awesome pickup.

Maybe he could use a change of scenery. But if he's got issues playing hard, that won't fly anywhere but in the Lakers.
How about this trade?
Orlando gets
C J. Withey
SF J. Salmons
Memphis 2015 2nd round pick
New Orleans gets
SF M. Harkless
PF A. Nicholson
Orlando gets a better developmental center prospect and a 2nd round pick for 2 players that have fallen out of their rotation. We get Harkless, who still has upside to be developed as a backup SF. Q Pon plays more SG, and Nicholson becomes our 5th big.
That's just eating up an additional 5.3 million in cap space next year for guys we won't play. We can get minimum guys to be our 11th and 12th men. If we were going to put in time to develop these guys, thats one thing, but that is not where we are at currently
Orlando does have 2players who interest me, but these aren't either of them.....
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
Bring in Oladipo, imagine him and davis along side Jrue in the future... wow, bring in a SF that can shoot and you basically have a championship
Sometimes I think guys want us to make a trade just to make a trade. Say no to Moe.

I was interested few months ago, but he's not what we need at this moment and likely won't get playing time. We have qpon and dc now. We would be making a move just because. I'd like to grab a backup pg who can score.
I've been on the harkless train for awhile, good defender, very athletic, can hit the 3, still young and had tons of upside.
Agree. I'd say backup point is a major need now. I wish we could have a guy like Jarret Jack.
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
