    Not just any opponent. A top 2 GOAT at his peak. And yes, before accusing Leonard of subpar defense, you have to consider how Lebron would've done against anyone else on the Spurs.

    Also, your logic is bad. You're effectively penalizing Leonard because he had to guard Lebron while simultaneously giving Parker bonus points because he had the luxury of guarding Mario Chalmers.

    And again, you're glossing over the fact that Leonard was better statistically than Parker. Basketball is more than just 2 categories.

    The fact that a contender could be broken up alone is a reason to pull his phone plug out. Let alone bad offers.

    I'm really coming around to a Miami offer.

    Herro and Duncan are both young and on cheap deals.

    And the deal could put us in position to be players come FA as well with the expiring deals and give us a lot of depth.

    Herro and Duncan

    or

    Pascal and OG

    ?

    The Norm MacDonald in me whispers to go with the blacker guys. The DD in me whispers to go for all white guys.

    Who will win in this mighty struggle? Chess or checkers? Chess players think checker players are dumb. But I love playing checkers.

    Plus, the red ones are tasty.

    People were pegging us as a terrible team. That's not how it's playing out so far. He's on the team and playing. There's no reason to think he can't change his mind. Maybe even getting over his Tillman hate if that's all it is.

    Pascal and OG are no slouches from deep. Plus, that thing called elite defense wins in the playoffs.

    Philly package #1.

    Miami and Toronto package tied at #2

    The more teams bidding, the more the Rockets get.

    Stone and PJ Patrick Fertita. I love you guys.

    Simmons + Thybulle is the start of any trade even if the Rockets have to add in PJ to make everyone happy.

    If Daryl does trade Ben after AGAIN coming out and saying one of his players definitively won't be traded...

    He's gonna start taking a lot of heat.

    He has been doing this before Harden got here.

    He is a complete liar to the media.

    James was the first and only player I felt comfortable in saying was untradeable under his watch.

    James and Joel would both fit that description. Definitely a title favorite with the shooters surrounding them in Harris, Curry and Green .

    I'm still keeping the faith too.

    If Stone makes a big surprise move to improve roster, that could be the lever that switches up the Harden trade train.

    Trade for Aaron Gordon!!!!!
