    Lots of people wished we'd kept him.

    Yup, that Haluska guy is our 15th player

    No one is exactly beating down Mike Harris's door, we can wait till the offseason to make a move on him

    i dont think it's a good idea to bring in a guy who's never played in an nba game and throw him into the rotation in the middle of a playoff race.

    landry and brooks have been awesome and i believe the harris can fll bonzi's shoes, just not right now.

    i'm hoping for:

    1) trade that brings in wing help.
    2) barry singing
    3) help from within (snyder becoming useful again)

    I agree with Da Dakota.

    Bring back Mike Harris.

    I'd would love to have a tough gritty rebounding player that can pound with the Jazz and defend hard.

    Bring back Mike Harris!!!

    :D

    Remember at the beginning of the season when many of us wanted to keep Harris over Landry?

    Now that we are under the LT, bringing back Mike Harris is a no brainer. He'll get 2 full months to get into the swing of things.

    I laugh about the Harris over Landry thing every day. I think the rockets have enough undersized powerforwards that they probably don't really need to sign Harris. Has Harris ever played one minute of an NBA regular season game and can he shoot the 3 ball. Just curious.

    I think he does have 3 ball range, but I always viewed him as a power SF, ala Marion.

    OMG.. he isn't a freaking power forward.. he's a small forward. How many times do we have to go over this?

    I like Harris's hustle and all, but I just don't see him getting any clock with the current roster. The one thing I saw with him in the summer league was he is a phenomanal athlete that has a good midrange jumper and can rebound. You could potentially throw him in a game against a rough and tumble team like Utah and he could be effective. If he were to ever develop a consistent 3pt shot, he could make some money in this league.

    He has a nice jump shot... if he worked on it I am sure he could.

    Marion is a freak, a 'matrix' freak starting with speed, quickness, and strength. If MH is ala SM then MH is an MF!

    If we could sign one, Mike Harris or Brent Barry, which one would it be?

    Good question. For me it would be BB. 1st, I believe he might make a difference at some point this season. 2nd, it would provide ammunition for the MikeHarrisManLoveClubPrez. Post Deadline things will get boring -- only games/seedings/on court type-thingys to actually concern ourselves with.
