Out of Curiousity: Who would you trade Harden for Straight Up

This thread will go exactly how you expect it to go

 

Beyond your group and with the current personnel that we have.. It would be Jimmy Butler or Anthony Davis.

Again, why is it that you have to hate the man???

T_Man

 

Made a thread at the beginning of the year. Cousins as a realistic option. Flawed but he's actually available.

The comparison isn't to last year's Harden, it's to this year's. Last year's seems long gone.

And lol on not being sold on Durant, Westbrook and Kawhi. Pipe dreams.

Also Anthony Davis and KAT. Paul George probably. Jimmy Butler maybe. CP3 is way better but passing his prime.

 

Butler/Klay/Cousins/Greek Freak/

 

Hmmm i think pg13, bulter maybe. Thats about it..oh wiggins

 

Lakers 1st round pick + fillers. Tired of chasing stars.

 

Jerry Lin...but only if Houston throws a first rounder and Daryl holds up a sign saying "I R STUPID"

 

Only AD outside of Curry/James/Durant/Leonard

Wouldn't trade Harden or WB.

 

Realistically you wouldn't get anybody for him. For you people saying Jimmy Butler need to take durability into account. Hardens ability to play every night of the year is very very valuable. He's built like a brick. So no to Jimmy... hes not even a superior player.

Anthony Davis? Lol good luck. He's not available.

Cousins? Ehhhh. Attitude issues. No thanks.

Pg13? Again, not as good as Harden I believe.

Curry? Yes. Not happening obviously.

LeBron? Yes. Not happening.

Westbrook? No. His athleticism is amazinf but its already declining.

Durant? Yes. Happening? No.

Blake? No.

Cp3? No.

Drummond? No.

Melo? Lol hang up the phone.

Lillard? Maybe. His defense is atrocious though.

Derozan? No.

Lowry? No.

Giannis? Yes please. Not happening though.

Klay? No.

Towns? Yes.

Wiggins? No.

Russell? Maybe Russell & Clarkson. High risk high reward.

Porzingod? No.

Kawhi? Probably. Not happening tho.

 

If we are being realistic, it would be Cousins and Sac-Town's #1 in the upcoming draft. Greek Freak would be great but I don't really see the Bucks moving him, especially since they are talking about playing him at the point next season. Cousins would still give us a star to build around, allow us to play inside-out with a big that actually has post capabilities. Draft a point guard with the pick that can run a team, Kris Dunn if the pick is high enough or Marcus Paige if it is mid first round. And finally, if you want to add a genetic freak, find a way to get a secound first round pick in this draft and draft Thon Maker. Maker and Dunn would need to develop, but Boogie is young enough that you have a developing Big Three that can do multiple things with the ball in their hands and that should hit their stride and have a window of 8-10 prime years together, barring injuries, trades, or free agent defections.

 

Only AD, Kawhi, or Curry for sure. I'd have to really think hard though about Draymond. But I'd probably turn it down. And I'd really be tempted to do Hezonja and a couple picks. (I'm convinced Hezonja is going to be very special.)

 

The smell of burnt crack emits and rises as high as oil refinery smoke does into the atmosphere. Hezonja? While we're at it we should convince the Warriors to trade Curry for KJ cause im convinced hes gonna be special... or something

 

no one not on that list

 

Cousins is the only gettable young star that Harden could be traded for.

 

I'd trade him straight up for better Rockets Fans.

 

What has Anthony Davis led his team to? How about Jimmy Butler? Cousins?

Some of you are absolutely delusional! Harden is a proven superstar that has never missed the playoffs! He's one of the 3 best offensive players in the league!

What's wrong with this fanbase? We never appreciated Tmac when he was here! Now we have another future hall of famer on our team and all we do is b**** about it! Makes me sick! Freakin Jimmy Butler!?

Stop repeating the same mistakes! Support our superstar!

 

Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon at their current age!!!!

lol, outside of the top players at their position in the league... no one (and even if you could, should you?? he's already the top SG and is playing the ****ing PG role too). I mean, even with a bum ankle at the beginning of the season Harden was still built like a tank and is so strong in the lane (a lot of players can't do that at all, the whole force the foul and get the shot. with Harden's body he could play during the Era of 80s/90s and last, curry would break like a twig in the lane). I just don't think you should trade your franchise player, especially since the team name for now is basically the Houston Hardens.

I'd rather trade the rest of the trash roster for some players that can contribute, hell even a star would help more than this mess. ****ing Harden and 1 other star 2v5 would be better than the load he's been having to carry for this franchise.

Lol, you could probably get the 94 rockets at their current age, with harden and have a better series against the GSWs. You might not win... well you wouldn't.. But I GD guarantee you someone else would have a field goal in the 1st qtr of game 5 other than Harden (and it's not for lack of effort on his part that the FG thing happened, he was trying to help his teammates get involved, but he can't ****ing shoot for them too).

 

Paul George, Kwahi, Lillard, Thompson - any of them.
Obviously Lebron, Curry, AD, Westbrook and Durant aren't realistic.

 

Greek Freak and a first.
