Woj: Rockets want to trade Harden "sooner rather than later"

MPJ is way more athletic and far more of a pure and natural scorer at age 21 than 26 yo Duncan Robinson could ever be. Duncan Robinson is the Kyle Korver type people tried to claim Herro was.

 

I don’t think he overrated Ben. He pointed out his inability to shoot. He is a great playmaker one of the best in the league and he’s got DPOY potential. I thought it was a very good video. People forgot what James Harden has done and can do.

 

Tanked his value, LOL.

 

You don’t think harden was acting out to force a trade? Lemme know if you’re in the market for anything basically. I have a lot to sell you my friend .

 

Nets, Rockets Haven't Had Traction On James Harden Trade

The Brooklyn Nets have been on James Harden's trade list, but there appears to have been very little in the way of discussions with the Houston Rockets.

Spencer Dinwiddie has been linked with a potential trade for Harden, but he was ruled out for the season on Monday with a partially torn ACL.

"Spencer Dinwiddie's health did not make or break the Nets' ability to get James Harden," said Zach Lowe on his podcast. "It's unclear to me, frankly, if those teams have had anything resembling a serious conversation about James Harden. Let's make that clear. I don't sense that there's been hardly any traction there at all. And maybe the way the Nets started had them thinking 'Why are we messing with this?'"

The key to Brooklyn potentially trading for Harden has been believed to be centered more on their ability to put a young star from another team in a three-team package.

 

lol, there will never be any traction with BK unless they are giving up Kyrie or KD or they somehow fleece a 3rd team for a young star by offering up their role players, and hand that young star over to the Rockets

BK shouldn’t even be getting mentions at this point

 

I wonder how many times we will hear this garbage lol.

 

Yes he was acting out to force a trade, I don't dispute that.

But if you think his value has tanked your foolish and a hater.

 

Ramona shelburne : 6 teams have made Offers . Atleast 6 teams are very interested. Could go on for weeks as the Rockets are in no urgency

 

We should hold firm and not trade him. Waiting until a team needs to make a big move should definitely yield a better return than hastily making a deal now, and if we start clicking, maybe not trading him at all will end up being the best option.

 

Denver continues to be the only team I could see meeting our price if it’s just a 2 team trade.

Any deal involving another team likely has to be a 3 or 4 team deal.

 

On my end I probably should have added try to, but no I don’t think even rival NBA execs think he’s a low value player. The problem is in negotiations they will paint him as a head case they are taking on and not offer as much. Luckily stone has not been listening to low ball offers.

point being for a while harden was sabotaging himself and the rockets (after being responsible for our demise in the WB trade). As a fan I can forgive but It’ll take a while—despite how much of a pos Tillman is

 

Ramona Shelbourne: I really am only interested in 6 dinner entrees tonight.

I am very likely to eat at least 6 dinner entrees tonight.

Both could be true.

 

Honest question -- is there a precedent and real evidence for Woj ever just straight bullsh*tting on anything??? I'm one of the silly, hopeful, naive fools who's been holding out hope that, somehow, this whole situation is being blown out of proportion, and Harden is still in (or able to be convinced to be in) the Rockets' camp... But if Woj is reporting something like this, then I feel like this ship has pretty much sailed...

Though I suppose things went about that far with some other players that were almost traded before, too.

 

Can you predict the future?

 

Why would they trade him? They theoretically would trade him because they believe that James Harden makes them a serious contender to win a title. That they think they can get 4-5 years of really high level production from Harden.

Where is the 7% figure come from? There was a study done on professional athletes that had similar surgery, and I have also seen an interview with an ortopaedist that stated a similar number.

I wouldn't take Brown and mediocre draft picks for Harden right now. I don't see Brown ever getting to the point of being a franchise player or close to it. The Rockets will need to add a legitimate high end young franchise player and that will be very hard to do. If the Rockets have the opportunity to add some with that top end and it is projectable, then the Rockets should do it.

MPJ isn't any softer than Kevin Durant or other players. He is long, can put the ball on the floor and score, he is an elite shooter and can score in volume.

 

I don't give a flyin **** what you can forgive, Harden does not either.

The fact remains is that his value is as high as ever and no other team cares what happened before the season.

But keep on in your feelings.

 

It’s not about feelings or what I can forgive . It’s about the reality of the situation and the fact that ignorant people like you can’t get it in your head he doesn’t want to be here. I get that you jerk off to him and probably don’t respect yourself as a person to begin with, but what you or harden want doesn’t mean jack.

If we have to sit his ass for two years we will, if it’s to sac for picks he’ll go. He signed a damn contract, low value individuals like yourself probably don’t expect much in return but the fans demand effort and dedication to the team. Work on yourself man, a grown ass man shouldn’t be worshipping a player who doesn’t want to be here. It’s pathetic. There was a time when the fans of this site supported the team, or at least donated/supported it. Tired of these freeloaders and their childish fandom for specific players.

 

Worship?

That's comical, especially coming from a guy who has Harden hate on the brain and says stupid **** like he has tanked his value.

A grown ass human should not have this much envy and hate for a guy that happens to play on a team they like, a grown ass man should not seek out any and every chance to **** on said player.

What the **** does freeloading have to do with anything, I support the site.

Harden got a grown ass man so much in his feelings that he is going off on tangents.

You need Jesus.
