https://heavy.com/sports/houston-rockets/toronto-raptors-trade-for-james-harden/ Windhorst, who joined Toronto’s Sports Net 590 The Fan on Monday, says the Raptors would package a deal centered on All-Star Pascal Siakam, along with other players and future first-round draft picks.
That's what is so crazy. There are very few teams that can give up what is required for Harden and be considered better than the potential of the Rockets right now... and I'm not against trading Harden at all.
He would team up with a old Lowry, the next best player they have is FVV and OG. Not sure if that will win Harden anything.
It certainly feels like he just want's to be everywhere but in HOU. I think he's smart enough to know that no team can give up enough to get him without giving up everything that makes the team desirable in the first place. He just want's that breakup.
Lol, Siakam? They can keep that. Siakam has been the worst option for me from day 1 out of all the players mentioned. No thanks. Hell nah. I’m good.
This wouldn't be a good trade. But least this leak increases our leverage in negotiations with other teams.
Heavy. Com regurgitates news from other places and uses click bate headlines. This is from a fadeaway world article whose almost as bad from a Brian windhorst interview on Toronto radio where he just described the package that the raptors could offer. This isn’t new news at all and just by looking at the raptors roster anyone could figure this out. Windhorst and lowe both said on a podcast that Houston doesn’t really even view pascal as high as an asset as a Simmons or mpj or brown even and especially not right now his stock is low. I’m not sure why Houston would even accept this deal right now at all and insiders here have side that siakam isn’t viewed by Houston like some of the other packages.
