    You mean to tell me we were holding out/not exploring other teams offers just so we could send Harden to one of his preferred destinations?

    If a sorry ass team like the Bulls/Hawks/Kings/OKC/Wolves etc. came with a proper package he’d already have been dealt. Truth is ain’t nobody lining up for Harden.

    I’d have absolutely no problem with a deal where the Rockets got Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Robert Williams and picks for Harden and Tucker. Brown is a good, young two-way player. His one flaw is that he can’t create for others. I prefer Simmons because of his playmaking and elite defensive skills but Brown is not a bad consolation prize.

    Still think the Nets are slightly better but they have a shot at the east.

    If Rockets even start talking to Boston, Tatum should be primary target dude. I woudnt accept him in any package possible.

    Ben Simmons makes me want to throw up as much as Westbrook did! Just no to philly unless they give us Embiid! Who I would then flip again! Morey of course would trade Simmons. He sucks!
    Funny Harden doesn't seem to have an issue with Silas or Wall or Boogie! His issue is with the way Tillman or his snot nosed kid runs the organization. People say no player should have that much power over an organization! Well same goes for Patrick! No kid of an owner should be allowed to make any decision as regards to what happens with the team! None! Especially if the kid has never been involved in a basketball organization or played in the NBA! He definitely didn't go to MIT! The Fertitta family is the worst thing to happen to the Rockets!

    Iam not trusting KD or Kyrie health. Kyrie is emblematic of a walking injury

    Milton is long but he is a sloth on defense, very poor lateral agility and foot speed.

    And I think Korkmaz has more upside as PG.

    That is a very good offer if Thybulle is included

    Tatum is in the Doncic, Zion, Trey Young tier of players that wouldn't be moved for a single player in the league. It's a waste of time to even ask.

    Brown just turned 24 and had a pretty monster season. He's efficient and can shoot. I could see him taking a Bradley Beal trajectory offensively. I would expect Boston to give us far more than just him for Harden, though. Same with Simmons. Unless Simmons is willing to learn how to shoot I think it's a bit difficult to build a team around him.

    "Could include x, y..."

    Not sure who his source is but mine just said to me that a deal between the Sixers and Rockets could involve every player on both sides, take it fwiw.

    I love these reports saying the Philly deal would include Simmons AND picks as if any average joe wouldn’t know that already
