i agree with this. Before al this, Tatum would’ve been the only valuable asset to match Harden. Brown as a centerpiece would’ve required more picks packaged with him. But now, I think Tatum and Brown are on equal footing. Brown’s playmaking has picked up a little bit. With Wall here and the way Silas runs an offense, Brown has time to grow into his star potential. MPJ’s skill set is so scary if he maximizes the potential. His injury scares me just as much though. I’m still not sold on Herro. He’s limited. But his deal is part of his value. I don’t want any part of Ben Simmons. As good as he is on defense, his offense is terribly one dimensional. Silas would have to change the entire offense if Simmons is here.
It's gonna be Simmons. He's sulking on that team now and Embiid is having an MVP caliber season, they are going to want to strike while the iron is hot on that team and I think the only thing holding it back is Tilman's grudge against Morey but after tonight he might say F it. I don't want it to be Simmons. I wish it were Brown/Celtics package but I just don't see it happening. Maybe Simmons will play better once his future is secure and he can focus on not being in trade rumors...
Get the youngest cornerstone possible. Either Herro or MPJ. Flip Wall, Tucker, Gordon, House at the deadline. Trade Wood too — now before the rest of the world finds out how horrific he is defensively. Tank using our 22/23 FRPs.
lol, not even guarded if he’s outside the paint...sheesh but he is a foundational piece you’re supposed to build around
https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2021/01/latest-on-james-harden-2.html While Harden has expanded his list of preferred landing spots, sources tell Iko that the Nets remain atop that list. The general belief has been that Brooklyn would offer a package headed by Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen, but one league executive who spoke to Joe Vardon of The Athletic on Tuesday believes that if a trade between the Nets and Rockets happens, it would have to be centered around Kyrie Irving.
Only way I would want Simmons is if we could get Maxey and Thybulle too. I’m really whatever about Pascal and definitely want no part of the Miami package. Go ahead and get the Jaylen Brown thought out of yalls head because that isn’t going to happen. Maybe Denver will get a bit more aggressive since they aren’t playing too hot right now.
Shooting matters more then ever now. Herro and Robinson have to be the package. They can keep precious and nunn if they are playing hardball. But any Miami deal has to have splash brothers lite included.
Miami can feel like that all they want but the fact is they ain’t beating Milwaukee or Philly as of right now. Butler is getting older and they can’t stay with a youth movement much longer. Harden speeds up their process it’s a win-win trade all their young players for top 5 player in the league. And they will have bam butler harden.
