[Woj] Harden continues to push for trade despite Wall’s arrival

If you’re dealing for a herro package it isn’t. Yo have a max cleared off the books. And when walls deal is done he’ll be no more than 23. In the meantime herro can develop and evolve with progress til then, who fits with wall

 

Looks old, put on some weight, and a below average haircut.

 

We just need to trade Eric. The man looks the same as the last two seasons. He will have some good games but some terrible ones. He will be unhappy at some point and have no fun.

I wonder if Harden’s trade demand have anything to do with all or any of these:

Tilman being an ass/petulant/arrogant/cheap

-PJ not getting an extension (Tilman being cheap)

-House incident in the bubble. (Frustrated/upset Harden and everyone)

-Eric still being here when we know he won’t help much.

-Morey brainwashing Harden to joined him when he moved to Philly. Morey telling Harden if he follows his plan they would win a championship for sure. Morey told him Demand a trade, go full Kyrie to lower his value. He would get him there with both Ben and Embiid still there. (Tobias in the trade instead). And a sure championship.
Oh and he would trade and pay Tucker, even though he didn’t pay him when he was here.


Mmmm sounds like a conspiracy but i don’t know.

 

You got my vote at "trade Eric".

He is too good not to use in starting line up.

But Rockets need a starting caliber 4 badly and I dont mean PJ who should start at 3.

Rockets need a skilled 4 that can also play switch everything 5 when Rockets go small ball.

A player OVER height of 6'6 please!

 

Tilman: "hold my beer"

 

I'm surprised (and I shouldn't be) that Harden was so engaged - legit brings a tear to my eye. I think Houston is playing this right, let's see what we have leading into the trade deadline first. Do I think we are better than the Lakers or Clippers? No, but with 1 or 2 lucky (i.e. health) breaks, we could certainly be a team in the WCF in 2021.

Side note, I LOVE Wall thus far. He's saying all the right things and seems like a true leader with a chip on his shoulder.

 

Houston will always love you too (even if you end up leaving)

 

Interesting.

Thankfully the 76ers and Heat now with better odds than the Nets.

Also the Raptors now have better odds than when all this mess started.

 

A pascal and OG offer is my first choice and close 2nd is Simmons. But if neither available I will settle for Miami package.

 

I prefer Pascal also.

He is a much better fit with Wall than Simmons.

It’s difficult for me to get really excited about Simmons lack of shooting ability.

It would be very exciting to have Pascal playing the 4 with Wood at the 5 and Wall running the point setting them both up.

 

I'm quick to support/defend James, and can usually discern what's going on.

Need some clarity on one thing though.

It's on the Wall trade, so I put it here...

If James has been so set on leaving, why did this deal go down?
I guess I'm trying to understand the timing.

Very short timeframe if it's all to appease Beard...and extremely short sighted.

And, if it WAS per JH's instructions, and he's still demanding to be dealt....

Then.....I have a HUGE problem with that.

We could have gotten a different type of package for Westbrook.
