Trade Harden in the offseason for Demarcus Cousins and 2pat back

Actually I think it is a better strategy for the Rockets than trading Lin to get a smaller piece back. It's better to allocate the money evenly between the front court and the back court than piling it up in the back court.

If I was clutch i would only allow posters from 2012 and 2013 to create threads if they had a certain amount of rep points.

The amount of thrash threads in the garm from these posters is ridiculous.

Not even I would do this.

It would be an ideal trade for both of us. After what we have seen in the playoffs where in game 3, Harden missed 2 clutch free throws and caused 2 key turnovers when we were leading with 43 seconds left which was the key for OKC to beat us. And of course those 3 straight ISO plays that didn't amount to anything.

But anyways, getting Cousins and 2pat back would make us contenders. We get a 16.3 ppg guy and a 9.8 rb who can only get better. Imagine if he could be a 18 ppg and 10 rb type of player. It's like buying a very underpriced stock where no one sees it and we could probably get a fair contract for both sides.

2pat is all money. The guy can shoot and he's getting paid like 3 million, very underpriced and his shooting stroke is money. He could rebound if he wanted to, just like that one game where he got 20 something points and 13 boards.

So, to recap, we get rid of Harden, a 25 ppg guy for a 16.4 ppg and 10 rbg player with upside and 2pat, a guaranteed shooter. We unload an 80 million dollar contract. have 3 really good pgs, Lin, PB, AB0, all of them are unselfish non iso players. We got 2pat and Demarcus Cousins playing the forwards and Asik as center. Cousins and Asik would be a rebounding duo, I'm not even sure if the opposing teams would get many second chance opportunities, and Parsons would be our scoring forward while Lin, PB and AB0 would be our guards.

Then we got Delfino, 2pat and Garcia as our forwards, all 3 can shoot. No more ISO balls! Yea!

I mean, think about it guys. We were like what? 2 games away from 8th seed last year? We almost lost the 8th seed this year after that 7 game losing streak? We basically won 2 games out of the 6 of those last games. One was against Sacramento and the other was a Phoenix goal tending. What were we doing? ISO Harden! We weren't that much more of an improved team this year, if anything, we could have easily been in the same boat as last year.
