    Everything you mentioned was my exact takeaway however
    this situation is not salvageable at this point. He is as good as gone

    Ultimately i think he will get traded to Philly. Makes to much sense

    At the end of the day, the funniest thing and most ironic thing in the world would be seeing tilman trade harden to morey who left his ass in the dust for better. A movie should be made about that if this happens

    I hate this thread title. This guy knows nothing, he has no connections. He is just speculating. "I can't imagine......"

    Bro you really comparing Simmons Defense with The Greatest Center of All Time?

    I don't think he'll ever be a good shooter..... KOC from the Ringer is convinced he shoots free throws with the wrong hand.

    What you get from Simmons is a foundational playmaking/floor general that you build around.

    no way.

    I'm comparing it to the mediocre defensive anchors that came after.

    He's DPOY good but Dream is an all timer.

    Guards 1-5.

    He's the James Harden of defense.

    36 year old PJ Tucker is not even close to worth a first.

    I don't need to watch him play. If you can't shoot you can't win in the new NBA. It's just a fact.

    guarantee a contending team would trade a first for him. It might be lotto protected, but it will be a first.

    dude leads the league in points from the corners, and is a very good defensive 4 and small ball 5. Those are rare. We would get a first.

    The video looks good but how does he compare defensively to a Covington for example?

    bigger, stronger and smarter. He has the ability to guard smaller players on the perimeter much better than RoCo. Not on the same level at all. Simmons is Draymond esque. There’s a reason he’s the only player I’d want if we had to trade Harden. He’s a game changer on defense.

    So then you're admitting you've never watched him play, but you're still arguing?? If he could shoot, he'd basically be a younger, longer LeBron, which would mean he's easily the best player in the NBA. He's an All-World defender with elite court vision and ball handling at the age of 25 and he's 6'10. The Rockets would LOVE to have Ben Simmons if they are 100% trading James Harden.

    Simmons and wall backcourt doesn’t seem highly functional. You can’t have a backcourt where both can’t shoot...

    harden/tucker for Simmons/Tobias + picks seems no brainer here if it could happen.
