[The Disector]

Do you see Lucious Harris in a Cavalier uniform next season and why?
No!
There are already to many players on this roster better then he is and playing the same position plus the Cavs are looking to acquire a quality 2 guard this off-season.
Newble, Pavlovic, James,Jackson and Free Agent Signing=bye bye Harris.

Did Lucious Harris reach your expectations this season?
No--he was brought to be a shooter off the bench and did anything but.
Turns out Newble is a more consistent shooter.

What did you like out of Lucious Harris this season?
Not much but he is a solid team defender.

What didn't you like out of Lucious Harris this season?
His inability to do what he was brought here to do.--Shoot the ball.

Was Lucious Harris given a decent oppotunity this season?
Yes.
Early in the season he was getting minutes over all the other guards/small forwards except for LeBron when he didn't really deserve it over, Jackson, Pavlovic, and Newble.

that he finally knew his role even tho it was 2late...sitting on the bench

yes

Rate Lucious Harris out of 10. 1 for bad, 10 for great.

A few last words on Lucious Harris...

in his defense. Ira newble shot 38% from behind the arch b4 he went 2 cleveland and even tho wasn't known to being a shooter i know some of you atleast expected him to shoot better that 10% from 3 cuz i know i did... i think harris will be gone but i know it takes awhile to learn a new team and system so i'm not gonna bag on him much...besides we won't need him we got some other shooters that need that roster spot.

A few last words on Lucious Harris.............................
Did not shoot the ball well. That was the key thing we needed from him. Also as a vet could have helped stabilze the bench, but I think he did not have the respect of th e other players because .... wait for it.... Hi di not shoot the ball well!

 

[Glen Infante]

Do you see Lucious Harris in a Cavalier uniform next season and why?

Did Lucious Harris reach your expectations this season?

No where near. I was really excited about his signing, and he didn't live up to any of my expectations.

What did you like out of Lucious Harris this season?

I thought he played good defense off the bench. He is also a good rebounder for a guard.

What didn't you like out of Lucious Harris this season?

The fact that he was givin countless of minutes, countless of times to find his stroke and he never found it.

Was Lucious Harris given a decent oppotunity this season?

He was given a great opportunite.

Rate Lucious Harris out of 10. 1 for bad, 10 for great.

3 for playing defense and rebounding the ball off the bench.

A few last words on Lucious Harris.............................

Mabey moving to a new team really shut this guy's game off. If his contract isn't bought out and we keep him for some odd reason "experience" then I am almost certain that he will be shooting the ball better next season.

 

[Dungong]

Do you see Lucious Harris in a Cavalier uniform next season and why?

No, he didnt play well at all and has a cheap buyout.

Did Lucious Harris reach your expectations this season?

I think he had maybe 5 good games. But I wasnt expecting much, so yea

What did you like out of Lucious Harris this season?

Nothing really. He played well in games that were already victories i guess

What didn't you like out of Lucious Harris this season?

couldn't shoot. Was supposed to be a shooter. Worse than that, he kept guys like Sasha and everyone else on the bench

Was Lucious Harris given a decent oppotunity this season?

yeah, more than decent

Rate Lucious Harris out of 10. 1 for bad, 10 for great.

2 - he was better than Diop at least

A few last words on Lucious Harris.............................

Its too bad that none of the Cavs FA aquisitions are anywhere near as good as they were the year before isn't it? Or they just dont gel in the system, or something....

 

[King]

Lu isnt an FA, so hed have to be bought out or traded right? Anyone know how much his buyout is?

 

[cavincali]

king-it wont matter how much his buyout is.

but i guess i wouldnt mind him being the 12 guy on the bench.

 

[Karma]

Do you see Lucious Harris in a Cavalier uniform next season and why?
No. His contract will be bought out. Harris also is not happy here.

Did Lucious Harris reach your expectations this season?
No. After a good season in New Jersey, I expected him to make a solid impact off the bench.

What did you like out of Lucious Harris this season?
He generally played hard and his defense was decent.

What didn't you like out of Lucious Harris this season?
His shooting touch. His shot stopped dropping and he become hesitant on offense. It basically made him useless.

Was Lucious Harris given a decent oppotunity this season?
He was given plenty of oppotunity. In the end, he was given too many chances.

Rate Lucious Harris out of 10. 1 for bad, 10 for great.
3 / 10

A few last words on Lucious Harris.............................
Basically he disappointed us all. He came in with a reputation as a solid reliable veteran who could knock down his shots. Basically in the end, he only took time away from players like Pavlovic.

 

[Marty Mar]

Do you see Lucious Harris in a Cavalier uniform next season and why?

No sirie. I would try to trade him asap

A few last words on Lucious Harris.............................

pack your bags and i hope you will find us a better player in return.

 

[Pioneer10]

Instead of buying him out I would see if teams would be interested in his expiring contract. Cheap and expiring contract = good trade baits in this league

 

[Kypus]

Do you see Lucious Harris in a Cavalier uniform next season and why? No, I think he actually asked to be released outright from the team, so he could join the Nets for their playoff run.

Did Lucious Harris reach your expectations this season? No. I have watched Lucious since he was on the Sixers, he really COULD shoot the ball. I know our offensive sets are bad and didn't leave much room to get off shots, but COME ON, hit something once in a while! I supported this guy most of the season, but it became evident that he just didn't care.

What did you like out of Lucious Harris this season? The one game where they played that old high school triangle defense, that was some good stuff!

What didn't you like out of Lucious Harris this season? He's supposed to be a shooter, but chose not to shoot. Also he should have been a leader in the locker room, instead he asked to be released...jerk.

Was Lucious Harris given a decent oppotunity this season? Good enough- he's been a bench player for the last 10 years and had been effective then.

Rate Lucious Harris out of 10. 1 for bad, 10 for great. 2.5, he just didn't bring it.

A few last words on Lucious Harris.....He'll be backing up Vince Carter and Jason Kidd in the Eastern Conf. finals next year. He read the writing on the wall and decided to get off the team with no GM or coach.
