For teams looking for long-range shooting threats, Harris is one of the best names on the market.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p>Bleacher Report suggests the Cleveland Cavaliers may see Harris as a potential trade target. He has a 36.2% long-range shooting percentage for the Cavaliers, which ranks him 13th in the league.<\/p>\n<p>If the Magic signed Harris, the team could get a lucrative young player in return, and that could be third-year pro Isaac Okoro.<\/p>\n<p>Okoro, 21, was the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. He&#8217;s been a bit lost in the Cavaliers&#8217; plans with Donovan Mitchell, mostly starting in Cleveland&#8217;s first two years before being off the bench for much of the season. I am recording my score.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<p>In a potential deal, Harris would go to Cleveland and Okoro would go to Orlando.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-item-inline\">\n<figure class=\"l-inline tml-image m-detail--tml-image--inline\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><phoenix-picture><a><picture class=\"is-waiting-to-load\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MTk1MTE1NDQ0OTA5MTIyNzU5\/fanspo-nba-trade-machine-snap_1-12-2023_1-00-49pm.webp 380w, https:\/\/www.si.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MTk1MTE1NDQ0OTA5MTIyNzU5\/fanspo-nba-trade-machine-snap_1-12-2023_1-00-49pm.webp 620w, https:\/\/www.si.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1240\/MTk1MTE1NDQ0OTA5MTIyNzU5\/fanspo-nba-trade-machine-snap_1-12-2023_1-00-49pm.webp 1240w, https:\/\/www.si.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MTk1MTE1NDQ0OTA5MTIyNzU5\/fanspo-nba-trade-machine-snap_1-12-2023_1-00-49pm.webp 700w, https:\/\/www.si.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1400\/MTk1MTE1NDQ0OTA5MTIyNzU5\/fanspo-nba-trade-machine-snap_1-12-2023_1-00-49pm.webp 1400w\"><source sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MTk1MTE1NDQ0OTA5MTIyNzU5\/fanspo-nba-trade-machine-snap_1-12-2023_1-00-49pm.png 380w, https:\/\/www.si.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MTk1MTE1NDQ0OTA5MTIyNzU5\/fanspo-nba-trade-machine-snap_1-12-2023_1-00-49pm.png 620w, https:\/\/www.si.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1240\/MTk1MTE1NDQ0OTA5MTIyNzU5\/fanspo-nba-trade-machine-snap_1-12-2023_1-00-49pm.png 1240w, https:\/\/www.si.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MTk1MTE1NDQ0OTA5MTIyNzU5\/fanspo-nba-trade-machine-snap_1-12-2023_1-00-49pm.png 700w, https:\/\/www.si.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1400\/MTk1MTE1NDQ0OTA5MTIyNzU5\/fanspo-nba-trade-machine-snap_1-12-2023_1-00-49pm.png 1400w\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"m-detail--tml-image m-image\" alt=\"fanpo-nba-trade-machine-snap_1-12-2023_1-00-49PM\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MTk1MTE1NDQ0OTA5MTIyNzU5\/fanspo-nba-trade-machine-snap_1-12-2023_1-00-49pm.png\" height=\"1026\" width=\"2560\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" itemprop=\"contentUrl url\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/a><\/phoenix-picture><!-- disableImageMeta is needed to prevent duplicate rendering of the image meta.--><!-- Duplicate rendering can occur because we have moved the image metadata outside of--><!-- the .m-detail-header--container.
