[Russillo] 76ers waiting on Rockets for Simmons / Harden deal; also PJ Tucker wants out

Is Ego part of Harden's core?

 

Lebron and AD would shut that down easily.

 

Your problem is that you believe the greatest evil to be strip clubs while I consider the greatest team killer to be the complainer who is never happy about his role or his recognition.

 

LOL

They cant even shut down Aaron Gordon when he is going downhill.

Rockets do not have that lengthy uber explosive playmaker so you are unfamiliar with how much they struggle versus those kind of players.

 

He has never won at the level Harden has in college or the pros, I have no idea why everyone loves him so much.

 

I'm not the biggest fan of Westbrook's time here but he was an all star averaging 27/8/7 on 47% fg% at 6'3.

If Westbrook was 6'10, he would be a better passing Giannis.

 

And yet he has not been out of the 2nd round (in the east) and could not make the ncaa tournament.

Does winning actually matter?

 

I don't care how much of a stud PJ and these dudes are. F b****y millionaires.
Yeah, they are not my slaves. I am not their slave either.

 

Best outcome for both parties however screwed up and crazy it sounds.

 

This will be a situation to monitor lol

 

Laugh at Aaron Gordon giving Lebron and AD trouble.

Westbrook dominated the Lakers in the regular season too. Then when it mattered they created a game plan that rendered him completely useless.

 

Complainer? From like two quotes in his entire time here saying he feels down which btw wasn't anything to do with others but about himself feeling down for his slump.

And honestly I wish he complained about our offensive style and lack of accountability to Harden.

EG is literally one of the most mild mannered proffrsionals in the league.

Harden is probably a bad influence on young players. Probably will take them to a bunch of Lil Baby bashes.

 

LOL

Of course, I forgot for a split second that your anti-Harden agenda will override any and all basketball ball discussions.

EGo is a prolific complainer, on and off the court.

 

I'd take you a little more seriously if you did not already admit that you do NOT watch any of these players.

 

Rockets should have traded Westbrook before the draft and free agency for a ham sandwich salary dump like I said.

Rockets would have Christian Wood from the Covington money and 2 to 3 other $10 to $15 million dollar players
thru free agency from the Westbrook money cleared off our books. Harden might be happy with the team as a result.

________________

If you trade Harden, make it before the draft/free agency......now most of the league has to wait on free agents or traded players to go thru their mandatory time with teams.

Now Tucker wants out.....EG needed to go. It’s definitely a mess.

Broekhoff was either traded to Philly or signed as FA......Philly has to wait about 2 months or more to move him
I believe. Correct me if I’m wrong. Harden will have mended fences or a complete chemistry
distraction by then.

Anderson? ((mandatory time period with team?)

Maxey? (mandatory time period with team?)

 

Philly is probably the only team willing to trade for James because of Daryl Morey. No one is gutting their team for James

 

Really do elaborate. I wish he complained a lot more about having his eyes gouged out watching Harden spam dribble for 20 seconds and run into a defender locking arms.

 

HOU - ORL - SAC - PHI

PHI: Harden (HOU) + Tucker (HOU) + Clemons (HOU)

ORL: Hield (SAC) + 2021 PHI FRP

SAC: E. Gordon (HOU) + House (HOU) + 2021 HOU FRP + 2021 POR FRP + 2023 PHI FRP

HOU: Simmons (PHI) + A. Gordon (ORL) + Thybulle (PHI) + Milton (PHI) + Holmes (SAC) + 2025 PHI FRP + 3 PHI SRP

Wall - Milton - Htine
Thybulle - BMac - Brown
Simmons - Nwaba - Tate
A. Gordon - Holmes - KMart Jr
Wood - Boogie - Cabocolo

Could win a ship if Wall at full-strength & Boogie at 75%

 

I never said I didn't watch them. I've watched every Rockets game for as long as I can remember and Ben Simmons doesn't strike me as a guy who has superstar potential. He's not even in the same ballpark as Harden. I'd be shocked if Ben Simmons ever averages 25 pts a game. Plus he doesn't seem like he has the drive to want to be great. He seems perfectly content with making money and being famous and dating Kardashians.

 

Rockets are not getting a player of Harden's caliber in return, from ANY team.

You need to really wrap your head around this.

But Simmons is the most talented and most proven player even being "offered".

And at 25, it is beyond silly to think he can NOT let alone will not improve beyond DPOY candidate, 1st All Defense, 2X All Star in his first 3 seasons in NBA.

3 seasons only but has still accomplished all that.

And fyi, watching every single Rockets game does not make you qualified to speak on Ben Simmons talent level or his potential because you really lack any context at all.
