    Is Devin Harris worth $42 Million?

    Mark Cuban handed Devin Harris a 5-year extension worth $42 million.

    Is the guy worth that much? As far as I can tell, the biggest accomplishment of Devin's career so far was to prove he wasn't a lottery bust. He's a decent player, but... $42 friggin' million? For a point guard who, in his best season, averaged 10.2 ppg and 3.7 apg?

    Why did the Mavs feel the need to hand $42 million to him, given that his contract wasn't even up yet? Where was all this money when Steve Nash's contract was up for renewal?

    Wow he's gettin paid about as much as Jet.

    I don't know, if you have the money then it's not a ridiculous move. Harris is a nice player in the Mavs system, I don't know though it's hard to really tab him since he's a backup.

      No way is he worth 42 million Barbosa signed with the Suns last summer for 5years 32 million how many people would take Devin Harris over Barbosa I don't think to many.

          You can't compare Phoenix's' organization to Dallas'. Yall jettisoned Kurt Thomas for no ******* reason other than money. Like I said if you can afford to dish out the dough like that, it's not that bad of a move. Is Cuban overpaying? Yeah a little bit. Can he afford to? I'm guessing yes, he may BUY the Cubs.

                  I don't think he's worth that much, IMO I don't see his game improving thats just my opinion on him.

                  He's a good player don't get me wrong, but IMO he seems like a role player and role players don't get paid that much.

                  Barbosa on the other hand looks like a star that is sitting behind a HOF PG, he'd start on probably 90% of the NBA teams.

                      Cuban gave Nash a very good offer, but the Suns made a better one. Keep in mind, Nash in Dallas wasn't making plays like he is in Phoenix now.

                      As for Harris, he can be good. He is a pretty good defensive player, and good slasher. The biggest problem I have with him is I hate him . He disrespects the game like Manu, Varejao and Dwyane Wade combined. This is a dude that can make me throw my remote against the wall when he's getting 35+mpg. He's just a dude that pisses you off if he's not on your team. Also, he will be valuable if they have to face the Spurs again, assuming the W's don't rape them out of the playoffs in the 1st round this year.

                        Let me tell you what I tell all my friends whenever I lay eyes on this dude play. 10.2 ppg and 3.7 apg is the product of a team that has talent virtually everywhere on their squad. It's tough to put up great numbers when a guy like Jason Terry is on the team and plays the same position pretty much.

                        This is what I tell my friends... if this dude was on any other team who would utilize him like the Spurs use Tony Parker and let him drive at will, then Devin Harris would easily average 18+ points. He may not thrive in the assist numbers, but Harris is a gifted point guard in terms of scoring and getting to the basket and finishing. Only Tony Parker is better than him at that. No other PG is.

                        Worth 42 million for 5 years?

                        Damn right he is!

                          Yes... those players are the most valuable IMO... the ones who kill a team and you really don't know why they are doing that when the usual stat-lines don't tell that same story. Devin Harris is a Spur-Killer... I HATE HIM!

                              Devin Harris vs. Monta Ellis matchups...

                              Ellis won 7 of the 9 matchups.

                              but....

                              Harris averaged 13.9 pts, 4.4 ast... had a total of 15 steals+blocks ... and shot 48.5% (8 for 19 from 3-range)

                              Ellis averaged 9.3 pts, 2.1 ast... had a total of 15 steals+blocks ... and shot 38.7% (3 for 9 from 3-range)

                              Ellis played 1 more minute than Harris.
