Recently, a reporter revealed that if the Nets put shooter Harris on the shelf, the Cavaliers would be very interested in getting him. Harris first played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and after coming to the Nets, Harris performed better and better every year. He was no.1 in the league in three-point shooting last season, and Harris' three-point efficiency before injury this season was at the top of the NBA rankings. However, some Cavaliers fans expressed puzzlement because Harris was a player who had a very sluggish performance in the playoffs. The two games he played against the Cavaliers last season were also poorly counted. In two games, the Cavaliers Harris hit only 4 of his 14 three-point shots and averaged just seven points per game. Facing his own team so well, why did the Cavaliers chase him?
Although the Cavaliers have a good record this season, they are more defensive to win, and the team has two super elders on the inside: Allen and Mobley, both of whom have both defensive and athletic talents, and have good talent on the offensive end. However, if the inner line wants to show its talents, it must be contained by the outside line. There can be no room for the end without a space inner line. Today's NBA is a small-ball league, and the importance of the shooter is self-evident. The Cavaliers are not a team with strong projection skills.
This season, the Cavaliers' three-point shooting rate is not even 36%, and the average number of three-point shots per game and three-point shooting rate are in the middle of the league, and the Cavaliers must look for a shooter if they want to make up for the three-point shooting ring. Looking at the entire NBA, Harris is definitely one of the best in terms of three-pointers. Harris's three-point shooting rate in the Nets has remained at 40% in several seasons, and even if the state is sluggish in the playoffs last season, the three-point shooting rate is more than 40%. Harris is extremely good at catching and shooting, especially in open positions. As long as the opportunity is given Harris will not waste.
Compared to the Cavaliers' existing shooters, Harris has two other advantages. First, Harris is not a mere shooter. He has the offensive ability to hold the ball and can complete a lot of dribbling breakthroughs in the Nets Harris. His basic skills are excellent, and the mid-range and emergency stop shots are also Harris's best plays. His presence enriches the team's offensive routines.
Second, Harris' defense is not very bad, and among the league shooters, Harris' defense belongs to the upper middle and upper middle. He is nearly two meters tall, the confrontation is good, and after joining the Nets, Harris has constantly honed his defensive skills and has a positive attitude. The presence will not drag the Cavaliers' defensive hind legs, after all, the Cavaliers have two frame guards on the inside line, even if Harris leaks people, he can make up for it in time.
There may be another factor in the Cavaliers' desire to get Harris, who has played in the Cavaliers. At that time, Harris was just a young teenager with average strength. The knight did not leave him. Perhaps the Cavaliers wanted to take the opportunity to regain Harris and give him a chance to show off his abilities.
Harris is at the peak of his career. The Cavaliers need shooters again, and the chase for Harris is understandable. However, the Cavaliers do not have many chips available now, the Goal of the Nets is to compete for the title, and the Cavaliers must at least come up with a player of the same level to exchange with the Nets. Markkanen is currently the most likely one. If the Nets were to trade with the Cavaliers, Markkanen would most likely be in the trade. Dear readers, do you think Harris will be traded by the Nets in the future? Feel free to leave a comment in the comments section below the article.
