Who wins the bidding war for James?

Yep, mostly he is a potential superstar, home groomed, fan favorite, good father image, fans would go wild.

It's not just basketball.

 

I have a feeling since way back(you can check my post history) that GSW will be team that comes out on top. They have best assets and if I was Tilman I would do it, pissing off the whole league is just a bonus at this point. They can offer Wiggins + 2nd pick in this years draft + some picks more I guess. I don't know if salary works but if they could turn Wiggins+picks for Harden + EG then Tilman would be more than satisfied getting from 2 albatross contracts, receiving young talent, top picks, not helping Morey, making Harden happy in a title runner. Because GSW with Harden and EG ***** on everybody in the league LeBron included

 

If Wiggins is the best young player they can get out of the deal we have seriously failed. Simmons or Brown would be much much better.

 

Just get the fans the best deal. Don't say you won't trade them to another team because you don't like the new GM that said team now employs. Tired of all the pettiness in the H.

 

Don't forget #2 pick its basically player with potential to be better than all of them

 

Deni Avdiya could be had at 2nd pick.

Comparison to Hayward, Toni Kukoc, Turkeyglue.

Or someone else.

 

and on a rookie contract

 

There is LaMelo Ball too. As of now he looks like way better Lonzo type of pg

 

Brooklyn or philly I could see it for harden.

I can’t see him in Boston and he would hate it there lol

 

Yeah, but all this Lavar ball circus is a distraction to any franchise.

Small sample size in oversea league.

 

I heard that before about La Liga and Euroleague. Any pro league is 10x better than any college in USA. There were countless of players that didn't make it on the draft day in Europe that I saw live and where just ****ing scrubs

if LaMelo can play big role in Australia at 18 years old then he has potential to be top nba player and is ready for pro level. Plus I think this Lavar circus is very Feritta style lol.


All considered #2 pick + Wiggins + something is best deal you can get for Harden right now

 

I wouldn't say better talent wise because undrafted players have little problem playing overseas.

But surely they are professionals whereas college players play less games, have less organization and maybe less limitations on life and food intake (Boogie getting fat) etc.

That is a big plus, you are a grown man playing in a grown ass league perfectly organized.

 

And pro league is a crop of pro players. Mentaly, tacticaly and physicaly. In college theres always some weak links a prospect can exploit

 

This is just another Renaissance.

You get Penny Hardaways and Magic Johnsons.

6'9 or 6'7 PGs can do it all.

This is just another beginning. More will come.

Just stay away from MCW... except if you are Williamson.

 

Harden for Klay Thompson!

 

I think he stays for now and they try to mend this.

If he goes, I want Ben Simmons (24), Thybulle (23) Richardson(27) and tons of picks.

package Gordon for Myles Turner (24)

package Russ for a top pick. Charlotte at 3?

Send Tucker to Phoenix for 10 and whoever else.

That team never bottoms out (can’t tank because of swap) and depending on the pick could be a playoff team now and have real championship aspirations within 5 years.

 

All 29 teams have probably made offers.
I think it will be a team completely out of the blue. Hawks, Bulls, Timberwolves, etc...
Brooklyn does not have anything worth trading for and Morey is in Philly.
If Harden wants out, you trade him for the best deal possible.

 

As long as it’s Philly or Boston we will be getting back something worthwhile. Brooklyn has nothing.

 

I think Philly only because Morey's obsession with James. If he were to willingly overpay it would be for Harden and that's to Stone's advantage.
