Harpring is kicking butt this year(18.7ppg/7.4rpg) for the Jazz, and totally out played Lewis last night.
The worst part is that the Mavs could've probably had him for the asking, without having to try to convince him to play for less than he thought he deserved (Lewis) or without having to sign him to an offer sheet and count on the other team not matching (Redd).
I think Harping would've been a plug-and-play SF with scoring ability, 3-point shooting ability, above-average rebounding and tough defense.
Mavs totally dropped the ball here by pursuing Lewis then Redd, while my nominee for Most Improved Player of the year was theirs for the taking.
