As the summer reaches its hottest point, the NBA offseason has cooled off considerably. Players are traveling the world. Coaches are retreating to whatever dark rooms they go to in between games. Fans are waiting for the release of the latest version of NBA2K. That doesn’t mean we can’t imagine, though! So even if most of the transaction talk has gone dormant, here are five players I hope are soon traded to contending teams.
Gary Harris
The 28-year-old is currently toiling away in Orlando, where he’s been since 2020, when he was shipped from Denver in the Aaron Gordon trade. The Magic will be frisky next season. Still, Harris is a black sheep of sorts in a young backcourt built around Markelle Fultz, Cole Anthony and Jalen Suggs. Harris isn’t a meaningful part of the future there, and he would be great on a team with legitimate Finals aspirations.
