    You’re just now realizing this? This franchise was ****ed the moment we traded for Westbrick. Congratulations Tilman you played yourself.

    Any form of a 69 year old is no part of a future no matter how innovative he was.

    Those are the only type of trades out there
    Boston would play hardball though - salaries matching etc

    Hayward would be a salary dump

    Tatum as the Closer and Harden as the guy that takes you into the 4th with a 5 pt lead
    Championship

    The signing of Paul was the moment.

    Beard’s the best recruiter in the game, and because of that, KD’s a very real possibility, maybe as soon as ‘22-‘23 after opting out.

    Don't look at harden as a player you must win with, look at him as an asset that can get you FRP's and a star.

    BUT YOU HAVE TO DO IT WHILE HARDEN IS YOUNG, HOT, AND NOT INJURY PRONE!

    Time it right. Time it now. Keep Morey, nobody could have done a better job.

    Morey has done very well finding talent using science. Injuries and the greatest team of all time f'ed us, but you will not get anyone better.

    Harden for Kyrie and 3 First Round picks.

    Brooklyn does that in a heartbeat - they would probably win a championship with that squad

    didn't they give away their first round picks for the rest of eternity to the Celtics in the Paul pierce Kevin Garnett trade?

    More than likely
    but I was thinking .. . .
    IF you want picks

    You have to get a second banana and maybe take on salary

    Harden or Westbrook for either Embiid or Simmons.

    I want no part of Embiid.
    Simmons I would do . . . HE is basically Westbrook but taller
    Might be forced to take Horford or Harris though
    those contracts . .. . . . man
