NBA free agency: OKC should consider rolling with energetic big man Montrezl Harrell

Montrezl Harrell was essentially a throw-in piece last season when the Houston Rockets traded for Chris Paul. Houston shipped Harrell to Los Angeles and while they did not miss him, LA certainly benefited from Harrell’s presence.

Harrell was having a decent season before the Clippers dealt Blake Griffin to the Pistons. However, after the deal, Harrell’s production and minutes increased. The fact Harrell remains unsigned is perplexing and sheds light on how poor the 2018 NBA free agency market is.

Statline:

Harrell’s minutes went from 15.4 to 19.1 per game after the Griffin trade.
