    It’s possible that Tucker isn’t involved in a Harden trade, but I imagine many Harden suitors would like to have both players if possible. I also assume if Tucker were to be included, the Rockets would get value for him back in the overall trade.

    We knew this would be the case. Execs will go after a Harden rental like guys will go for a girl they know they have no chance with.

    No clue. It's rare for players to comment on gms too.

    But portland is very active clowning on social media. It's pretty funny/entertaining when they do it. Dame recently commented on irving's social media, telling him to talk to the media lol.

    This feels like the Rockets just trying to gin up interest.

    Part of me feels Morey is not chasing Harden as hard as we think. Maybe it's a silly reason, but if he really wanted Harden, why sign Dwight?

    Aside from the cp3 fib, which may or may not have been his fault.

    Other things Morey has said recently.
    "I'm resigning from the Rockets to spend more time with my family."

    They’re called 1st round picks. Look into it.

    i am not refuting that first round picks aren't valuable.
    But no dumbass is gonna trade a 35/8/8 player for a bunch of first round picks especially if they want to compete.

    Yeah wondered that also.
    Harden didnt want to play with Dwight in Houston but he does in Phily.
    I know Dwight isn't the main man in Phily, but it would sure make for an awkward dressing room.

    Ethan Skolnick:

    Heat are engaged in trade conversations for James Harden. Duncan Robinson is a major sticking point. The Heat are willing to put a lot on the table but are not willing to put Duncan Robinson on the table in this trade. That could change but for right now, not planning on putting DR in the trade.

    Shams reported Simmons was made available in some packages. Daryl Morey came out and denied those reports. I don’t believe Daryl Morey. The other thing is one reason Simmons has been put in trade talks is because Miami made a competitive offer to the Rockets.

    (They talking like DR is Steph Curry :eek:)
    (They like/want Tucker too)
