    lol Tilmans to cheap to let go of his prized possession. They are still just trolling Tilman.

    Aha...the game is "officially" afoot...

    I wonder how long Daryl & Philly have been planning this.

    Just one day after Morey said he took the job because of Embiid and Simmons he's presumably putting one of them on the block? cant imagine a legitimate offer for Harden without one of those dudes.

    Its funny to be on the outside looking in on Morey's speaking out of both sides of his mouth that supposedly earned him such a bad rep among players, dating back to the Kevin Martin days.

    Simmons + the #1 overall pick seems like a nice place to start.
    That's close to fair value...right?

    Don't get amnesia guys. Morey pursues everybody. Harden is his prized possession and he wants him back. Morey eventually will have Harden in Phili, whether that's going to be Harden in his prime, well I doubt it. I have no doubt that Morey is willing to move Simmons to get Harden since he likely sees a short window to be a championship contender in the east without any real dominant team in the East.

    Philly doesn't have enough.

    The only way Harden's name should come up in trade talks is if it includes multiple unprotected 1st rd picks and a young superstar in the making with no injury concerns.

    Nope.

    I don't know why you even think that's close to fair value.

    Simmons is only 24. You get him away from Embiid and he will thrive. Once in a generation player..little bit of Magic/Mailman.

    And the #1 pick overall...

    I said that was a starting point.

    Not enough?
    What do you suggest?

    LOL wut?

    If that were true he would not need to get away from anybody.

    He is not a once in agnerational player especially without a jump shot or even a go to move.

    Embid has been hurt enough for him to thrive and he still has not.

    Embid has to be the starting point and I don't really even want him, he does not take care of his body enough to build around.

    Simmons is just MCW on steroids. He's already 24 and still can't shoot? GTFOH

    IF this trade happens, I imagine ATLEAST a 3 team trade.

    You don't trade a top 5 player in the league for anything. Especially since he under contract and who also happen be your defacto gm. Harden wanted westbrooks he needs to play with him.

    Westbrook to the Clips and Harden to the 76ers in a season with no Fans and a broke owner... unfortunately is making sense. Morey knows what drives Tillman. So this could be something that happens. Morey will give up all the draft picks for Harden.
