Clippers re-sign Montrezl Harrell (2 years, $12M)

The LA Clippers are building a team of tradable role players. A lot of teams will be looking at them at the NBA Trade Deadline in February. Clippers signing guys just to flip for picks.

 

Dood got paid in a buyers market.

 

Wow... $6 million per season. That's rather cheap.

I thought he would get at least $10 million on the open market after a breakout season. I wouldn't mind getting him back when the Clippers eventually fail and blow up everything at the trade deadline.

 

Glad to see a another Morey second round pick pan out.

 

I can't wait to see Dekker's market when he is a FA. Has he improved in any facet since he got into the NBA? (Other than marrying Olivia Harlan).

 

moery, do something!

 

good for him

 

That back injury really messed up his development....and becoming a clipper

 

He might put up big number this year since Clippers don't have any PF/C

 

Are we positive Dekker is an NBA player?

 

Harrell would’ve been a great add as the backup C for us. Athletic and long enough for defense, can catch the lob and run the floor for dunks. I would’ve loved him for us on that contract.

 

we gave up too much for CP3. Morey is a horrible gm

 

I didnt think Tarik Black was gonna be better than Harrell, and I don't think Black is that bad. Harrell is just a serviceable "big" like in a Carl Landry mold. Highly efficient on offense, not much rebounding, with just enough D (Black a little more rebounding & D)

 

Wow that’s a lot for him

 

How’s his Mandarin?

 

Yeah but 6M for Harrell is too much like compare his deal to Len.

 

I mean, that's a valid question. What does he do?

3pt shooter? no
rebounder? no
good defender? no
good passer? no
can he create his own shot? no




I am not sure what Morey saw in Dekker. He can get out and run in transition and finish but that is it. I think one time Morey said the internal people thought he could develop into a Harrison Barnes type of player. Which is LOL to me because Barnes can post up and create his own shot. Something Dekker has no ability to and I never saw it in him to do it.

 

Carl Landry could create his own shot. That is why he got a relatively big contract when he became a free agent. His limitation was that he was undersized and had a short reach(8'6"). Harrell is way more athletic, has a 7 inch reach advantage(9'1") than Landry but he doesn't nearly have the skill. The Harrell had Landry's skill he would be a 12-15 million dollar a year player.

 

I would honestly not be surprised to see him out of the league when this contract is up.
