    Well you won’t get any arguments from me regarding mini trump Tillman .But you also can’t hold harden hostage either. The guy wants to leave and the best value now and probaly will ever get is Simmons

    he was giving his opinion...how many times can somebody preface everything they’re saying with the words “I think”

    he didn’t even say something like “I’m hearing”

    They would LOVE to send us Tobias. He is also on one of the worst contracts in the league.

    The Rockets should have traded for Buddy Hield already. EG and picks. Just get it over with. Then do Blames for Simmons and picks. Everybody's happy. Rockets dont miss a beat.

    A 6’10 walking potential triple double who’s only 24 and plays lock down defense is exactly the gift we need for Christmas.

    Man I LOATHE Tilman...... but make the trade. Ship both those malcontents out of Houston. Lmaoooo @ PJ tho. HOU is the only team he’d be starting on. 35, 6”4, no offense other than an occasional 3 from the corner .. go on Tuck ask to be traded

    Friend of mine called me today around noon claiming the 76ers and Rockets were talking Harden-Embiid trade.
    Supposedly the Rockets were not interested in Ben Simmons......wanted Embiid instead.

    I asked where he was herring this? He stated ESPN was just talking about it. Not.sure if that meant Rusillo

    Funny how Embiid is a bigger James Harden.....not as good though.
    and Ben Simmons is a taller Westbrook.........not as dumb and careless though as WB.

    I told my friend I would rather have Simmons. Just not used right in Philly.

    Route Simmons to OKC for a pick package.

    Just trade his ass. I love harden but let the dude go do his thing in philly

    Im cool watching Wall, Simmons, Woods, Cousins. It’s honestly exciting. I’ve watched harden do all he can but I’m ready for something new

    get a bunch of first and start the rebuild

    As much as I like Simmons' potential, if there's a chance you can mend things with James and get him to sign an extension, you take it. Harden is a top five players with at least 2-3 years left on his contract and probably 4+ years left of prime. Simmons will be lucky if he's ever a top five player, and given his lack of a jump shot, I kinda doubt he ever gets there.

    If you truly believe the relationship with Harden is beyond repair or you think it's inevitable you're going to end up moving him this season anyway, then you pull the trigger on any deal you can get for a young player of Simmons' caliber with some picks and prospects thrown in. (For the record, though, I don't think Russillo knows a damn thing. But I do think a Simmons for Harden deal is probably out there if Stone/Fertitta are willing to make the deal.)

    That ship has sailed. Harden wants nothing to do with Tillman. I wouldn’t be surprised if Harden goes to Philly pissed off and wins the MVP

    tilman's fat-headed ego vetoes the trade
