    If Wiseman could improve on the way he wants to play (more like a wing) and still maintain big man qualities. Basically AD clone, I wouldn’t mind.
    He does have some face up dribble qualities, and he tries to be a stretch big. He’s just not that good at them.
    AD high side, Whiteside low side imo

    not saying he’s not skilled, just that I prefer a skilled guard or skilled forward over skilled big men...part of that has to do with aesthetics for me as well as I don’t find many bigs fun to watch...Jokic is the only one for me really

    nah...Pelicans were always losing, and then now he’s in LA

    AD is not someone that I go out of my way to watch whether it be games or highlights

    Embiid I liked a little his 1st few years, but some of that had to with his antics and beefs he’d create with other players

    Both 31 years old.
    Both had 2 years left with player options remaining.
    Both just lost their coach that gave them the best stats of career.
    Owner said no.
    Gets Pau.
    Wins 2 titles and is rarely talked about in reference to his legacy.

    Windhorst:

    (Sixers) These trades don’t help improve their asset base for Harden. Most people in the league believe if they’re going to get serious about James Harden, it’s gonna take putting Ben Simmons into the deal. Daryl Morey has not made any indication at all that he’s willing to do that. If Harden wants to go to Brooklyn, the way to trump any Brooklyn offer is to put in a player Brooklyn can’t match. It could be weeks, it could be months before something like this happens.

    That's cool. We've got a couple of years, probably 3 because he's got to make up for turning down 50 double x large. Then you all can fight over the 34 year old.

    Uh, gonna pass on Klay but if we gotta do it:

    Rockets in: Draymond "testes" Green, Wiggins, Wiseman, 2021 and 2022 GS FRPs
    Warriors in: James/BMc, or House if you think GS should get more.

    Forget Klay and Wiggins.
    Do.Not.Want.

    Contrary to popular belief, we are not desperate.

    But, time is somewhat of the essence.

    James is a top 10 all time player in his prime.

    If someone wants him they're gonna have to shell out big time.

    And WE will decide where he goes.

    Exactly. Why would the Rockets accept below market value for a generational superstar in his prime? 2-3 years left on his contract. Trading him now would likely lead to tanking seasons. Why would the Rockets do that when they don't own their draft picks? You want James Harden, it should start with your best player and multiple future assets. especially seeing what Jrue freaking Holiday got.

    Rockets benefit from waiting because it gives Silas a chance to change Harden's mind and/or the opportunity for more teams to feel they are a James Harden away from contending. Which in actuality, with James Harden alone, you've got a shot. Look at the pack of scrubs he's carried to playoff berths. A hamstring away from a ring. Yeah, definitely gonna cost big time. James Harden should not be a bargain.

    Which means he has no f'ing idea and flipping a coin would be as likely to prognosticate what will happen.

    lol that GSW trade is horrible.

    Wiseman could be good, or could be meh.

    The rest of the package i'm not sure i'd take for free, lol. [hyperbole, but you get the idea].

    whomever came up with it should be embarrassed
