    Didnt watch the video. Are we getting Brown? If not, no deal.


    Don't want the Nets' trash.


    Harden ain't worth anybody on either team, except for Durant, Tatum, or Brown. And change with Brown.

    Jaylon Brown and another couple assets. I dont know if we would want Smart?

    Brown/Nesmith/Smart(to Orlando for Aaron Gordon) and a single first in 2025 does it for me

    I'd want Smart. He's a bit of a glue guy and is underrated for 3 and D.

    Plus his salary helps.

    I think the Nets if they continue to dominate will force the Celtics to make a deal and hopefully it is Brown plus assets from another team. Celtics have a lot to trade, another team would love Kemba I am sure and Kemba becomes irrelevant if you have Harden.

    As to who that can be, anyone's guess, probably some team that really needs a PG like Kemba.

    I think Kemba has negative trade value right now.

    I think the thread title is a little misleading...

    Yeah i think our best bet is for the Nets to wipe the floor with boston and force their hand with Brown

    Maybe, he's so good though when healthy. That damn knee seems to keep flairing up though...

    Seems like the Nets want Harden badly, not shocking, but they'll likely do everything they can to get him, they might be the only team willing to trade everything they have.

    Who’s that magical young star available ... “Yeah, we can’t get Harden but we’ll give him up for LeVert and Allen!”

    Nets: Harden
    Rockets: ???
    3rd team: LeVert, Allen, Dinwiddie, Prince

    Kemba may be “damaged goods”.

    https://www.boston.com/sports/bosto...emba-walker-knee-injury-timetable-return-date

    Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker will be re-evaluated for a return in early January, but he still isn’t particularly close according to Brad Stevens.

    “Kemba is on the court doing one on one stuff with a coach,” Stevens said. “Still no up and down, no cutting, no one else on the basket. So, still a long way away.”

    Walker received a stem cell injection in his left knee this offseason and started a strengthening program to build up the joint before the regular season. Last year, Walker dealt with soreness for months, and he needed load management even after four months off prior to the Disney World bubble.

    Walker said he will take all the time necessary to return to the court.

    “There’s no rush,” Walker said. “There’s no rush on my end. I’m coming back when I need to come back, and when I’m feeling good to play. So that’s it. This is, I haven’t really been a guy who has been hurt over the course of my career. So, this sucks, but I also love the game of basketball, and I want to play at a high level in front of the fans who come to watch this game. So I want to be at my best. The last time in the playoffs, I wasn’t at my best, and that sucked. I don’t want to be that way no more.”

    I don't think the Nets will give us more than the Celtics, if this is legit

    Celtics have to add in order to beat the Nets, and they are not giving up Tatum

    So, it has to be Brown and maybe Smart plus picks...

    The Nets are like coach roaches man....Im tired of seeing them in any trade rumors. Philly needs to get with the program.

    If there is a three team trade and let’s say Boston and Toronto are involved I want Brown and Siakam plus some picks. Yes that may seem a lot but we are talking about James Harden here a top 5 player in the last decade. Basically the face of the franchise and a major draw that Houston will lose.

    Look at The Patriots after Brady left I’m sure their net worth as a franchise has dropped significantly since he left
