    A Portland deal would most likely start with McCollum coming over, Dame isn't going anywhere.

    Not necessarily, Harden could try to blow up the trade by letting the other front office know that there is no way he will re-sign after 2 years. The other teams on his list he can at least keep on a string like Khawi has been doing to the Clips.

    Don't want to be San Antonio, who basically tried to screw kawhi and he got the last laugh. Keep harden until the no brainer comes or run out his contract.

    CJ is terrible.

    Basically Ego (in the games he can actually shoot), but with no defence at all.

    Ie, horrible. Can't create for others. Not an all-star. Overpaid. Useless.

    Portland would have to be finding a ton of assets elsewhere to make the trade.


    Brown
    Siakam
    Simmons (if forwarded on for a ton of assets. If we are to keep him it would require an EXTRA 2 frp on top of the 3+ young talent that would need to be included. 2 extra so we can move Walls deal at some stage)

    The only 3 players worth considering as centerpieces (so far). But each of them would be "plus what?" to make the deal viable for Houston.

    Not ideal, but I think you are going to be really, really disappointed by what we ultimately get back from any team. I'm going on record saying Jaylen Brown is the ceiling for the type of player we can expect back, plus pieces and picks.

    Pretty soon the list will include the other 29 NBA teams plus some European and Chinese clubs.

    I'm shocked so many here are surprised Harden would want to go to Portland!

    The reason for that is really simple;

    Portland is home to the most strip clubs per capita in the US. According to research by Priceonomics, the city boasts 54 and has more than twice as many strip clubs as it has public restrooms. That is largely because Oregon's constitution protects “obscenity” under the first amendment.

    He just wants to be carried, he'll play anywhere that he can ride coattails.

    Why can’t we get a team where someone can ride coattails here?

    Because Harden would run them off the team and demand they be traded for a scrub.

    Wait long enough. He'll slip up and add Houston to the list in a few weeks.

    Check the demographics of Portland and think what kind of strippers Harden likes and then try this post again.

    I'm happy with Jaylen Brown + Picks. I just dont anything from Portland because Dame isn't coming and the rest is hot garbage
