With all eyes understandably on Dallas following the Jason Kidd trade, new New Jersey point guard Devin Harris has been a bit ignored. But, in a piece by the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram's Jeff Caplan, Devin seems to embrace a future without Avery Johnson barking up his leg. "I'm looking forward to having a little bit more control, a little bit more freedom over there. I love my teammates here, so it's mixed emotions, but I'm excited about the new challenge."As has been said in other accounts, this move was made as much for Avery as anyone else. He's harped on leadership from the point guard position since taking over the job; it'd be hard to imagine Johnson not getting on Harris' case often, as Devin is a visibly young player (in that he doesn't always make the best play).

But Harris is a good point guard, and incredibly fast. Of course, Lawrence Frank likes to control the offense almost as much as Johnson. We'll see how the change translates, once Harris returns from injury.Permalink | Read the full post at AOL Fanhouse
