DETROIT — Moe Harkless had been through this before, sweating out trade deadline destinations. Actually, he’d been traded once before he’d ever played a game in the NBA.

So when the call came just ahead of the trade deadline, he wasn’t surprised. But whether he was disappointed might be a different story. Harkless, who grew up in South Jamaica and attended Forest Hills High School for three years before finishing at a prep school and then spending one season at St. John’s University, was happy to be coming home for sure.
