    Trade Westbrook to the Knicks, Harden will give you a bigger haul back than AD since he is still under contract.

    We can potentially go the ways of OKC until we start recovering our picks. However, pulling this off requires a competent GM and I just don't see that happening with Tilman & Tilman Jr. at the helm.

    Instead we're going to see Tilman cheap out and put the bare minimum around Harden & Westbrook. We're definitely going to be in for many rough seasons either way. Harden will eventually demand a trade out of here once he realizes what Tilman is up to.

    I think his contract is up in couple years either way. Might cash in.

    The demanding a trade narrative has been worn out. Morey isn't there to accomodate his wishes.
    They could trade his ass to Minny and Rosas.

    Harden and KAT make a 5th seed, the journey goes on.
    Philly makes more sense for him and he can fight over ECF.

    We should trade them for as many picks as we can find but the reality is if we do trade them we likely arent gaining any cap flexibility this year, well most likely get back equal contracts.

    I will be very, very sad if Harden is traded. Westbrook is a nice guy, but I won’t be upset if Houston gets a good deal for him.
    I’m afraid that both will be gone shortly. I have no trust in Tilman.

    Add to that scouts, coaches, general managers, fans, who knows what else. I hope clutchfans is not moving to another team.

    We are about to see what Tilmans true colors are. It will be no doubt about him after what happens in the coming days.

    Surely Patrick Fertitta can step in as both a PG and a GM?

    They might feel trading harden is pointless cause you wont get much in return plus he makes basketball fun in houston. But i think the rockets need to overhaul the whole roster, and fill with draft picks and youth. Let harden contract run out, and maybe even trade him if he requests it. Ben Simmons or Embiid either of them would be great to rebuild around, and you need to get picks from newyork. Westbrook could get you that.

    Dear Mr. Harden,

    Please go to Brooklyn along with Westbrook so you can reunite with that Big 3. I'm definitely not rooting for Fertita who is on his way to bending to the will of the Chinese Mob. Please demand a trade.

    Sincerely,
    Concerned fan

    We wouldn't get equal value for Harden and it would hurt us for years, this sounds like people with burner accounts trying to stir the pot.

    Disagreements are going to emerge, the same as with CP3 with no real postseason success.
