Could still see Harris traded.  There's a few guys like Middleton and Harris who were restricted free agents, but signed contracts this offseason with their original teams.  Those guys can't be traded until December or January.  I wouldn't be surprised to see some of those guys traded.  Their teams likely just wanted to lock them up so they didnt' lose them for nothing.

Middleton? Maybe. But can't see why Orlando wants to trade Harris.

Lol, the funny thing is you told me chances of that happening is unlikely.

I can see Orlando trading Harris, only if they feel like Harris doesn't fit their overall teams identity.

Middleton getting traded is unlikely. But Orlando has no reason to trade Harris for something short of a pick we won't give up.

Why is is hard for peeps to undestand not every player is on the market, especially for our grab bag?

I imagine Harris is on the market.   They have both Gordon and Hezonja waiting for minutes and both will likely be better than Harris.  Maybe you can get Harris for the Brooklyn pick.

We need a difference maker--NOT this guy....we already had Brandon Bass---and what good did it do us--?

Well, let's wait until the end of the year and see if his improvement with the 3 is real or a mirage. If it's real, then it's like a younger Brandon Bass with a 3, I'll take that and that would fit into what the C's like to do a lot better than BB ver.1.

However, I don't want to trade for him. Let's see if we can consolidate some assets for a difference maker like you want. Then if we have a roster spot and some need for a depth PF, then we can take a shot at him in RFA. With Orlando having just extended Vuc last year and just matched on Harris this past offseason and with Fournier needing to be paid this offseason, then Dipo, Payton/Gordon, and Mario each successive year, I think they can get him signed to a reasonable offer sheet that won't be matched. Trades need to be made beforehand though.
