[Woj] Rockets are expanding trade discussions on Harden

For all the talk about how bad a wall Simmons pairing is....wood and Simmons would fit in pretty well. Def the best rim running and athletic big Simmons has had.

 

I would move on Harden for only Mitchell or Murray. So what he will spend two more seasons in the west, after that he's running east in a hurry.

 

Hardens value at 31 is still multiple times higher than Simmons. Morey knows this, guaranteed he has the same metrics as 538

 

The Toronto Raptors are talking to the Rockets.

 

Plus picks of course, and some salary fillers.

 

I'm here from Mitchell and Murray, and I here on a mission of MERCY!

Your name's @jdjd?

You call yourself a Rockets fan you son of a b****?

 

Toronto Package seems legit. Paskall and Norm plus 2 first round picks and 2 pick swaps,

Is a acceptable package. Its because toronto will try to build a team around harden with 2021 free agent crop, and willing to risk a 2-3 year rental.

They can start to build around him now by trading Lowry and 1sts for somebody.

 

Toronto is interesting. I still don't know if I'd want to commit to Siakam at that number either. It would depend on what comes with him.

 

A big NO to Toronto, and whatever they have to offer.
The picks wouldn't even have much value after James lifts them in the East

 

My gut feel would be either Spurs or Bulls and it should net us at least somewhere between the 5-10th pick next year and both teams would definitely benefit from Tuck's veteran presence and energy.

 

ehhh.

I'd take Siakam, OG and 1 FRP to be honest.

I don't think Toronto would do that but it would allow the Rockets to remain competitive and would essentially fit together like a glove. PJ would either be extended or would be traded for draft capital and maybe a back up PG.

Wall / Brown/
Gordon / McLeMore/Green
OG / House / Nwaba
Siakam/PJ/Tate/KJ Martin
Wood / Cousins/Bruno

 

Ya i find it interesting because Siakam and Wood would be insane combo. Harden going to raptors, he could play with Fleet and OG, plus Lowry now. But think about the connections with Lenard, if he is upset with Clippers after some confusion in LA land and both him and Ibaka are on player options, and they go join Harden in Toronto.. Something to think about...

 

I'm not high on PS as the centerpiece ....

OG's nice, but he's a secondary piece.

Just my opinion....

I want Ben Simmons + the world.

If this drives up Philly ...cool.

 

I honestly think OG is about to break out. 17/5/3 guy. I view him as kind of the co-star of the offer.

I would prefer Simmons and Thybulle but if Morey wants to be a prick, let him pay the price.

I would also prefer keeping Harden but if he won't sign that extension after seeing how good he and Wood could be, then he's not going to all of a sudden want to be here. Do you play the season out with distractions in the hope that they fade?

 

Some of you guys are dumb, I say hell no to Siakam.
Siakam's FG % dropped big time last season and he only overall shot .1 percent better than James Harden when it comes to FG%. Siakam's overall skillset is not bad but having Siakam as a main guy in a trade for the top 3 best player in this league is a joke.

 

I'm with you on OG..like his game..but, this is James Harden...

Im assuming we get a MUCH bigger haul.

I don't think we actually hold him..
Pretty sure they're just looking to move that price up now before it's done.

At the same time, if we have to hang onto him for a bit, until we get the right deal...so be it.

 

For Toronto it would have to be Siakam, Powell, OG and multiple firsts for Harden and Tuck

 

In other words Harden will be a rocket opening night lol.

 

LOL, well that quote says a whole lot of nothing.
