I think Harris is a good defender. I'd be happy with either probably. My question is, was it Avery Johnson that was holding Harris back, with his constant playcalling, or was it just maturity by going to a new team? He has been unreal this season, Mark Cuban must be going apes. Kidd is on the downturn, and Harris is a freaking meteor.

Tonight has nothing to do with my opinion,i have said all alone that D.Harris is underrated for the last couple years.I watched him play for Dallas,where i thought he was pretty decent then.I have rated him in the top 5 pg for the last few years.Would i want him instead of Rondo,not at this time.Why fix something when its not broke,Rondo fits well with this particular group of players(starters).D.Harris being more offensive minded,may not be the fit for our starters.He is a scorer first,but does play decent defense also...however as much as i like his game,i will stick with Rondo .

Devin Harris is a flat out better player than Rondo, I know Rondo is limited by being around scorers but he doesn't have the offensive arsenal to put up the numbers Harris is putting up. Who knows who would fit better in our system though.

Harris is a better player right now, although not by a large margin in my opinion. He's more confident in his jumper and his offense in general. His big improvement this year is how many times he's gotten to the foul line.

He's scoring a lot more points than Rondo, but is taking twice as many shots. He's a worse at rebounding, doesn't get as many steals, and this year they're equal in assists and in turnovers.

The real question is will Harris be a better player in 3 years? Also could Harris continue to get to the line so much if he was a third or fourth option? I do think New Jersey is very happy with the Kidd trade.

Interesting question.

Harris has never averaged as many assist per game as Rondo is averaging this season. All that matters is how good a facilitator he would be with our players.

A perfect example is AI. AI is better than Rondo, but it is questionable whether AI in his prime would improve our team. Look at the dominance of Denver once they got rid of AI. With PP, Ray and KG on the team, we need someone who will pass the ball around.

It would be nice though if Rondo could go 17/17 from the line!

I expect that Harris would do quite well in our system, though he would score much less. Even the big 3 score much less in our system. He would too.

I would avoid using stats too much when analyzing Celtics players. Otherwise, we have to concede that KG, PP, and Ray have declined rapidly since they became teammates.

Only if you blindly use per game stats without looking at minutes played and shots attempted. If you look at the right stats you can see what is actually happening.

Probably Harris, if for no other reason than that he's more of a top tier player to hand the franchise over to after the big three move on.

Harris. Rondo's been great lately - but I just think in clutch situations his lack of a J can come back to haunt us. If you have a do everything guard like Harris you can simply dare teams to double off any of your guys..
