He got released by Cleveland CAVALIERS. Nuff Said!!
....a team not noted for always making the most prudent decisions.....
Reading between the lines in this article, I think that the Cavs management wasn't thrilled with Harris' treatment decisions and dumped him because they were p---ed at him.
In addition, it also sounded like they wanted 15 on the roster right now:
"Because of the lockout Harris could not be treated by team doctors. A Detroit physician prescribed an ointment or cream for the burn, but coach Byron Scott knew Harris wouldn't be able to participate in camp once he saw the injury. Harris was expected to miss at least a few more days of camp.
On Sunday, Scott said Harris would not necessarily have to practice before camp ended to secure a roster spot. He was asked Thursday if he would be reluctant to release Harris since he likely would be picked up by another team."
It sounded like Scott wanted him and assumed that he would be there and that the management team above him overruled him.
