    Pushing the franchise to make the terrible trade for Russ and asking out a year later with a specific destination is pretty trash.
    I'm slightly coming around to the idea of a Nets trade if we get that crop of players and basically every draft asset they've got.
    Be competitive for a playoff spot in the West next year with Russ and those guys and see how it goes. Possibly the next year tear it down for a Philly level tank for two-three years while we have our picks and hope that Harden/KD/Kyrie aging and Kyrie being a cancer destroys the Nets and they help us rebuild like they did with the Celtics.

    The one thing I absolutely don't do is trade Harden unless you have already traded Russ or simultaneously trade Russ. Worst case scenario is trading Harden and getting stuck rebuilding with Angry Russ after he's unlocked "bitter old man" mode at $44 mil/yr.

    Its "The Taming of The Shrew". You need to marry off the Shrew Kathrine, before you entertain offers for your hawt daughters.

    Denver is interested I’ll be asking for Jamal and Garry Harris at the minimum. Jokic will never get traded so that’s a no go

    **** the Nets. Pile of trash they want to give us for Harden. I’d ask for unprotected FRPs for the next 10 years.

    1 year ago. the Astros Texans and Rockets had high hopes Look at them now Astros will not pay to keep the team together Texas and Rockets is even worst At least the Astros can still be good The Rockets and Texans have to have a complete rebuild

    Yeah, sorry, you're gonna need at least 300,000 dead people before we can give Tilman that trophy.

    We almost certainly couldn't get Jamal for Harden, unfortunately.

    Michael Porter Jr. would be the best we could do off their roster. I also wouldn't want draft assets from them relative to some other teams since they are probably going to be good for several years unless they have bad luck with injuries or chemistry.

    "Wants to be on a contender"

    I was told the Westbrook trade kept our title window open longer? Are you trying to tell me that was not correct?!?!?!

    I hope this doesn't cause a rift to grow between Harden and Stone. That would suck.

    So what did he do? Get on his knees and begged Harden to not head out to the gas station to get a pack of cigarettes?
    Whatever Shitman did clearly didn't work
