    lmao, besides Warren I figured they was already trying to get rid of these players, just a random trade.. I'm sure it's far from perfect

    Morey would get us the best deal available. If we are giving away a first be sure we are getting good player back that can either help us win or a get us an even bigger prize later one.

    Stone still needs to make me a believer.

    Patrick is looking over his shoulder as we speak.

    His last few trades have been very questionable. Although, I’m sure it was more Tillman than Morey tho.

    Its with almost absolute certainty that it was Tilly and not Morey. Every trade after the Chris Paul one(excluding Covington) have either been for cost cutting or ....for Westbrook.

    Is Boston really interested in Russ for Kemba and Smart?

    https://www.prosportsdaily.com/arti...or-kemba-walker-and-marcus-smart--659375.html

    BOS: Russ Westbrook
    PHI: Kemba Walker + Rockets FRP
    ORL: Marcus Smart, Danuel House
    HOU: Ben Simmons, Aaron Gordon, Matisse Thybulle

    https://tradenba.com/trade-machine

    6'5 Harden/6'3 McLemore
    6'5 Thybulle (23)/6'3 EGo
    6'7 RoCo/6'5 Nwaba
    6'8 AG (25)/6'5 Tucker
    6'10 Simmons (24)/MLE

    This team is younger longer more explosive - built to run and defend any team in the NBA.

    This is the ultimate switch everything line up AND would be the top team in pace.

    Impossible to double Harden with this starting 5.

    So Philly would trade Simmons for Kemba?

    There is no way we get Simmons for Westbrook

    Haha. Bro if Boston was willing to give up Kemba and Smart for Westbrook we’d just do a straight up trade with them. Screw the other teams.

    No way Boston bites.
    Would take a
    Kemba Harden Smart Tucker Roco EG rotation any day. Have the MLE and not have to worry about anything but a 6’10+ Center and have House and McLemore to round out the roster.

    Again, pipe dream.

    Rockets have more needs than 2 starting caliber point guards.

    I think my trade idea has merit.

    Balanced team to challenge Lakers is better than loading up at guard.

    Fair enough. Different preference in lineups. I just like the more playoff tested Smart and Kembas veteraship (not a word)

    But either way my point was no way Boston gives up those two for Russ. Danny Ainge is really smart and that trade is the opposite of that for Boston.

    Try to get Ibaka, klove and cousins.to form big team rather wasting harden career life. We will not complain if they lose with this team

    Let’s say the Knicks want Wiseman and don’t want long term money. The rumored value to move up to a top 2 for them is Mitchell, 8, and a future first. Charlotte is rumored to be willing to part with 3. We flip 8 for someone like Jrue.

    maybe edit PJ for Miles Bridges who is apparently available. Not overly familiar with their games.

    This seems to benefit all parties, you could send DSJ to NOP as well to increase the exception the Rockets create.

    Jrue/ DSJ
    Harden / EGo / Ben MC
    RoCo / Nwaba
    PJ / Bridges
    Mitchell Rob

    I think Russ would be a backup plan for them. They would prefer Jrue Holiday first IMHO.

    Boston would bite on that. So would Cavs. I think you get Harden a real Center, and Play maker like Hayward. While Keeping Gordon, and getting 2 first is not bad. It hurts to lose Cov, but i would take my chances on Hayward, and Drummond, plus them picks and getting wiggle room on the cap.

    If I’m the rockets I’m taking wiseman over Mitch.

    But pairing either with harden could be lethal.

    I think the player movement is reasonable in this trade but no way Boston takes on Kevin Love’s contract. They’re going to have to pay Tatum, Theiss is getting a pay raise. They’re a year away from ridding themselves from Hayward’s contract, why add more years with Love’s.

    The 3rd pick could be in serious play hopefully

    Wiseman
    Ball

    Well boston has the money, and Love gonna out weight Thesis bro for 3 years. He is loved over there in boston, and boston wanted him and Rondo badly few years back i remember love went to visit boston in his contract year, people wanted him badly. They'd go over the cap for him for year just to get those players. Plus you add cov and tucker expiring will offset They let thesis drop off lol. Thou i think those 3 players will push them to get past Miami.
