Do you see Lucious Harris in a Cavalier uniform next season and why?
* Hell 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.
* Who's he? All i know is that he was non existant...
* No, Didn't shoot the ball well.
* Of course not, we have no need for him.
* No, he didnt play well at all and has a cheap buyout.
* No. His contract will be bought out. Harris also is not happy here.
* No sirie. I would try to trade him asap.
* 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?
* Hell NO
* No--he was brought to be a shooter off the bench and did anything but.
Turns out Newble is a more consistent shooter.
* Not even close.
* 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.
* No he did not. I believed that he was going to be our 3 point shooter off the bench. He was just an older Ira Newble.
* No. After a good season in New Jersey, I expected him to make a solid impact off the bench.
* I think he had maybe 5 good games. But I wasnt expecting much, so yeah.
* 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 liked the fact that i can shoot better then him.
* Not much but he is a solid team defender.
* That he finally knew his role even though it was too late...sitting on the bench.
* Hustled for rebounds even though he wasn't shooting the ball well.
* I thought he played good defense off the bench. He is also a good rebounder for a guard.
* Nothing really. He played well in games that were already victories i guess.
* He generally played hard and his defense was decent.
* His rebounding and his defense was ok.
* 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?
* That i can shoot better then he can.
* He played like crap, big dissapointment.
* His inability to do what he was brought here to do.--Shoot the ball.
* His outside shooting... Infact Ira Newble ended up being the shooter we needed to come off the bench(even tho he continued to start)....how sad!
* Did not shoot the ball well.
* 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.
* His long range shooting and his bald spot.
* His shooting touch. His shot stopped dropping and he become hesitant on offense. It basically made him useless.
* Couldn't shoot. Was supposed to be a shooter. Worse than that, he kept guys like Sasha and everyone else on the bench.
* 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?
* Yes!!!
* 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.
* He was given plenty of oppotunity. In the end, he was given too many chances.
* 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.
Real Cavs Fans voted a 3 / 10. Put simply, a below par season.
A few last words on Lucious Harris...........................
* Lu, come on man, you were signed by the cavs to shoot and you couldnt hit anything. whats worse is that you have that whit spot on your head. waste of money and space.
* Lucious, I hope that cheap buy out is real.
* I'll be glad to see him go. We have enough non-shooters on this team.
* In his defense, Ira newble shot 38% from behind the arch before he went to Cleveland and even though he wasn't known to being a shooter, I know some of you at least expected him to shoot better that 10% from 3 cause 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.
* Did not shoot the ball well. That was the key thing we needed from him. Also as a vet could have helped stabilise the bench, but I think he did not have the respect of the other players because .... wait for it.... He did not shoot the ball well!
* Maybe 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.
* 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....
* 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.
* 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.
